Just tested backstab/garrote against someone who had 4051 health and 0 defenses of any kind up. Strength is at 12, which is honestly high for the vast majority of serpents.
1691 out of 4051 health is the damage for backstab, 1066 for a garrote with a 106 damage whip. Leaving him with 1294 health before the sip/moss that will come after and take him to over half health.
Vs. someone with 8195 health, the backstab did 2481, garrote did 1355, leaving the person with a little over half health, at 4359/8195.
The damage Micositu is using is extremely amplified due to having high strength, which I'll freely knowledge is probably overpowered. Whether or not it needs to be nerfed considering the vast investment it requires on the Serpent's part is debatable. I don't personally think there's any need for 20 strength backstabs in the game, but I'm fairly ambivalent overall. I'd be fine with the damage on it being standardized across the board to some healthy medium around 12-13 strength.
It is overall unsurprising that Eleison, a low health, unartied person died to a backstab combo from Micositu, a serpent specced to do high backstab damage, while also fighting Eloru and having various afflictions, as well as lowered health from darkshade. It'd be nice if actual health logs were supplied, but Strata's estimations seem fairly accurate as to what occured. Given the low health of Eleison, he was probably already missing 25% or more of his health beforehand, and low health people are already more susceptible to damage burst attacks in general.
It looks like serpent damage might be slightly overpowered on the high end like Santar said, but as a Priest myself I see nothing wrong with it.
We were a little too close to invincible and some things have been nerfed because of it. We're in a good spot right now overall.
Naga backstab squads should scare you no matter what class you are.
Yes, I agree, snipe damage is slightly overpowered on the high end.

Eat like a caveman, train like a beast. Champions are not born, they are made.
I'm always surprised that things I tested with Jhui and some others RL months ago are unknown to so many people outside the Serpent class.
I think I capped at 76% damage backstab/garrote combo on a <5k health person.
Cascades of quicksilver light streak across the firmament as the celestial voice of Ourania intones, "Oh Jarrod..."
inb4 the "top tier" all switch back to serpent so they can enjoy the easy-win before it gets nerfed. thx guys. keep destroying our class and switching back to monk.
p.s.: in a perfect world, I would be cool enough to get hired by IRE and nerf monk to the ground so you have nothing to fall back on.
I'm pretty sure that, in a perfect world, almost (see: no one) from a game's forums would every be hired to balance a game.
I think this is what's happening with bard right now. I'm living for it, though.
@Jhui how do you use mapper even for auto mindthrow path without crashing all the time? wtf. Sometimes even when I try to go to targossas I'll crash. God I'm jealous.
Have to clear out the backlogged folder of map updates periodically. Also, NDB takes a huge chunk of memory.
db:delete(ndb.db.people, db:gte(ndb.db.people.xp_rank, 2000))
db:delete(ndb.db.people, db:eq(ndb.db.people.xp_rank, -2))
I'll try deleting the mapper updates more often. Thanks.

I'm assuming backstab/garrote doesn't bypass the damage reduction from Algiz(so the cap is probably higher).
