Since Razon assisted, just how the hell does that merc get off backstabbing since he was tanking a player?

cause it was probably between ticks when he assisted.. when the main tank dies, you have a few ticks that the mob isn't really engaged in combat.

It could of been a circle, and you can circle other players/mobs while fighting a tank.

Used to really tick me off in Calimport Sewers when wererats would backstab me while my spectres tanked it, made it impossible to fight in the same room very effectivly.

yep, gotta bash them backstabbers, no other way around it. a shame bodyslam is completely useless at low levels - they should just make it unavailable until like lvl30.
