Able to Backstab mobs by walking/circling through PVE enemies

[Cobbs]

Hey, I noticed I'm able to juke a backstab by moving through NPC opponents or circling around them when soloing. This feels like an advantage I don't remember being able to do on the Blizz servers, I'd always have to stun/daze them before I can position myself to get a backstab.

I understand it's server related and such, but it feels like something I should keep myself from doing at least. Or is this not a big deal? Thanks :)

You are correct. You should not ever be able to backstab unless it's from an opener. Stun, or incapacitate. The target otherwise should always be facing you.
