Stay where you are, train ME and 2he up to even with your LE and keep them there. Also, train a ranged. It's worth it - if only for the sniping bonus to training hiding.

I've got 2 ranged, that I've stopped training for the moment until I can start sniping.

Short Bow:	80
Light Crossbow:	101

I am coming up to 30th circle and while I have no problem getting both hiding and stalking mind locked at 125 ranks each, my backstab is lagging behind at 80 ranks and it seems I cant get it moving much at all (usually only about 6/34 at best)

Ive tried going to harder creatures and ambushing from chest, to back to eyes and sticking with whichever i can hit, tried dropped down the critter list and ambushing the eyes. It seems either they are too easy for me and im gaining nothing from it, or they are too difficult and my success rate hampers my experience gain.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

shield 80
evasion 90
ME 80
LE 60

will try thugs or over to sand sprites although from what im told I wont learn much more evasion off sprites now

scratch thugs, they might tear you into itty bitty shreds. Sand sprites would be a good option, or possibly even blood wolves. Not certain on blood wolves, been a long while since I"ve trained on them. Once you hit about 115-120 in evasion, depending on your reflex, I'd say steeds in Shard. Sand sprites will move weapons though. Don't do like I have done and let weapons fall nearly 60 ranks behind backstab.

I'm learning that lesson now tryin to play catch up. Kicking myself for it. Going on 85th circle, and I had some bad habits of only stealth training. Worked great up to low 360's in stealth. And near 320 in backstab. But having my highest weapon nearly 60 ranks behind my backstab, yeah, I'm payin for it now. But it gives me the chance to train parry at about 15 ranks behind my highest weapon. So I've got something going.

Bipeds are bad for evasion learning in general. Thats for certain. I don't remember what Arbs teach to, but they are in the Haven area. Near ogres. Not dusk ogres, the others. Once you get about another 15 ranks in weapons, there's always vines and creepers. Or even Silver leuc's out on the islands (Ratha) once you get to about 90's in weapons, and 100's in evasion. Granted, again I don't remember what they teach to. But they teach higher than sand sprites. And if you cap out on them, there's always Swains (which are in town). And spawn 3 per character. Which are over silver leucro's.

Heh, rackin my brain here. If I think of anymore critters, I'll throw in another post.

oshu are a major pain for any guild without ethereal shield. well, except for empaths and necros, who can self-heal. The rest of the critters there would be good training though. And if you can get someone to bless your weapons, moss meys are good for stabbity in that range.
