For normal melee attacks you generate the same amount of hate on a hit and a miss as far as I know. The EQEMU code backs this up as well.

Backstab is a weird mechanic because it is calculated more like a normal melee attack. The formula looks like this:



I'd be curious to know if the hate generated from backstab uses the modified weapon damage of 97, the base weapon damage of 15, or something else. I haven't looked into how abilities like kick, bash, backstab, etc generate hate.
I have an old friend where I use to work who is a CS major and really good at code.

Would you have a link to the code for all of these formulas?

I would love to have them look over it and determine the aggro and the whole bow damage think in another thread.
