No you can't. The description of the Assassination tree makes this clear:Neikun wrote:Can you backstab with a ranged attack?
This skill represents your training in the way of assassin. As you progress in this skill, you gain access to deady and precise melee techniques.
The creatures that doesn't have backs can't be back-stabbed. It would be illogical to stab into something that doesn't exist It would be like making head-shot when your targeted creature doesn't has head.Krazzikk wrote:Also, If I might add, some monsters cannot be backstabbed such as slimes. (I did some snooping in the asset pack ;D)
