Not sure how many even know, but the dagger is currently changed to version 2 in the timeline... Zephira's Dagger of Blood (11/17). Mrylokar's Dagger of Vengeance should hit sometime in the October Era patch. Right now, it sucks. I have it range-slotted, and a couple other friends just have it bagged (not sta capped). The dagger still acts a bit strange. It can still max backstab for 553, but it's extremely rare. My DPS overall has dropped about 15-20% with the same set up.
There is NO Backstab skill modifier on either versions. If there was a skill mod, it would reflect in the Skills page, like the Tunare dagger does. If it had a backstab damage bonus, it would be a flat additive and not account for the 553. Before Version 2 hit, I thought it would be more likely that the item was really 15/19, but did not visually display. The reason why I thought this was, it backstabbed exactly like a ragebringer would WITHOUT the attk bonus. I tested with Ragebringer in my offhand, 12/16 Mrylokar in mainhand, and the backstab damage averages were dead on.
I didn't save much of my parsing data.. I guess I could go through old logs, but this is some bit that I saved.

Later on I tested this set up on Yeli? Don't remember.
