PvP Blue server problem or all servers?
I dueled a buddy SK in the Baz and was sticking and moving like a friggin ninja while for some reason I was still getting clobbered when he was facing away... he won and I decided to test this in a controlled situation.
I set up my bro's 65 SK facing away from me and slowly inched in until he was hitting me and I was actually out of range to hit him.
He's fairly well equipped and I just have the Shank/RB but I moved in and started actually hitting BS and trying to kill him but he beat me w/o moving or turning or anything... just straight facing away giving me free shots on his back the whole time.
Is this a problem for ALL PvP? That melee can use a 2h weapon and hit you while you are out of range and they are facing away?

It has been like this for a while, i have played around with a sk or pally with me behind backstabing and him hitting me. as far as the range thing its prolly b/c 2h weapons might have more of a range /shrug.

It appears it doesnt matter if the toon is facing you or not...you can still be hit as if you where in front of him and in range. Makes it very tough for rogs....They need to fix that

Having played SK and rogue both to 65.. I can vouch for this that 2h's seem to get more range for attacks than 1h's.
/comforts about the rear attacks tho... I'm a bit tired to do the research, but i would maybe look into some of the recent AA upgrades and see if they have a rear riposte of some sort.
You might also have something that is lag-based... it only takes 1 step back to really swap positions as rear vs frontal attacking.
Only tip I can offer is that you try to find a sweet spot for your max melee range and use that against those using the 2h's... their ripostes are nasty, and it's a key element in them winning... I have recalled dueling vs's characters with dual wield vs 2h's.. 2h peeps tend to own me, while I mitigate better against the lower damage weapons (*shivers* at the monk with level 55 and REBB that I went up against face to face and got owned quickly )
