No, no I'm taking another look at your numbers and you may on to something. 696 might be the max actually. Or maybe you're posting on a forum where people have played the game before and know the answers and you want to argue... It's god damned trolling. I don't think you're doing it on purpose, but if it's in anyway malicious... I appreciate you. And if it's just who are as a person, I'm so sorry.
Say hello to Jumba for me please. Also never post rogue advice again. You lack the knowledge to contribute meaningfully. Esoteric bits of information like rogues can double backstab and all that.

I found the issue. The EQEMU code gives +3 Weapon damage, but it looks like the intent was for mobs only.
The formula is now:

RoundDecimal(Weapon Damage * ((Backstab Skill * 0.02) + 2)) * 2 * 2.85 = Max Backstab Damage.
|
15 * ((225 * 0.02) + 2) = 97 rounded down. 97 weapon damage * 2 * 2.85 percentage multiplier cap = 552.9 damage at best. That is 553 rounded up.
It was simply an interesting coincidence that the 696 backstab I happened to look at lines up with the +3 damage perfectly when including damage bonus, and that 696 backstab happened to miss the emote message.
Thanks for the expert help! Now I know how backstab works, and this is another data point showing the EQEMU matches the P99 code.
I'll add it to my DPS calculator, so backstabs can be calculated. Now it will be easy for Rogues to compare weapons.
Having conversations about game mechanics is not trolling. Experts on these forums have been wrong before. I am not saying you are wrong here, but it's good to make sure the information is correct.
