Notes: So this is my backstabbing chap. I use three different Speed abilities (Immobilise, Stun, and Webbed) in order to get three combat rounds of Backstab. This also allows me to roll for damage if I win the attack round.
I have both Critical Strike and Gut Ripper, so that gives me a guaranteed 24 points of damage with 2 backstabs, then a further 2-12 with the third. Piercing provides me with a guaranteed way of adding a lot of damage to most opponents after finishing rounds of backstabbing.
Yes, you may have noticed I don't have the Spider Grips. I did try a build with them, and they're always great to have - especially in conjunction with Demon Claws - but this gives me an extra backstab.
