[Help] Need Information on Feint and Backstab

Class and Rank
#1

Hello!
I simply wanted to know more about those two Rogue’s skills, [Feint] and [Backstab].

Let’s start from [Feint].
According to Tosbase skill simulator, [Feint] skill description is:

Trick enemies to lower their guards. Evasion of enemies in front decreases.

And Level 1 [Feint]'s effects to enemies are:

  • Evasion rate - [?]%
  • Target [?]
  • Duration [?] seconds
    Cooldown: 25 seconds

The interesting things I noticed about this skill are:

  1. According to the video [Feint] has an Area of Effect in front of the caster (Look for the red visual cue on the ground in front of the rogue).
  1. Also according to the video, it looks like the enemy, who faced the rogue straight, suddenly turned to the right after the blue sprite/aura as the visual cue that it got hit by [Feint] finished, thus revealing its rear to the rogue.
  2. According to ToSbase, [Feint] has an attribute, which, with the help of google translate, seems to give a chance for the caster to attack the enemy affected by Feint with Backstab skill by 15% per attribute level. (Max level for the attribute is 5, so 75% chance to proc Backstab after Feint.)

Next is [Backstab].
According to Tosbase skill simulator, [Backstab] skill description is:

Make continuous attack using sword. Double attack with high rate of critical and has chance of fainting enemy.

And Level 1 [Backstab]'s effects to enemies are: (assuming it’s able to hit multiple enemies)

  • Attack 461
  • Attribute attack [?]%
  • Strike 2 times
  • Critical Rate [?]%
    Cooldown: 10 seconds

The interesting things I noticed about this skill are:

  1. The video shows a rogue hit an enemy who’s facing sideways with the skill.
  1. According to Tosbase, I noticed that [Backstab] cooldown has been greatly reduced, only 10 seconds now. I recall that its cooldown before kCBT 3 Extend was very long (50 seconds, was it? Not so sure.)

And so it leads to my questions:

  1. Is it true [Feint] has an AoE in front of the caster?
  1. Does [Feint] forces enemies affected by it to face sideways, thus revealing its rear to the caster?
  2. Can anyone confirm [Feint] attribute effect? And if it’s true that there’s 75% chance to proc [Backstab] after using [Feint], will I use a charge from [Backstab]? Can I proc it when [Backstab] is in cooldown? Will I spent additional SP when I proc [Backstab]? How many enemies can I hit with the proc-ed [Backstab]?
  3. Can I use [Backstab] and damage enemies who’s not facing sideways or reveling its back? If yes, will I not get some benefit from [Backstab]? (i.e. I won’t get increased critical rate, or not able to stun enemies at all, or I only strike them once if I attack them from the front?)
  4. Really?! [Backstab] have 10 seconds CD and multiple charges? Anyone can confirm this? Mind you, it’s SP consumption is huge and close range only, though.

Okay, that’s all! Thanks before for anyone that’s able to answer these questions!
