Yeah on my rogue the tactical retreat is good for getting into position. However that isn't an option for the shadow blade. None the less the advice you gave is good.
One problem I have is I've tried to break off my rogue from the group and go into sneak, then have the group engage the fight. Then I take my rogue and try and get into position, however as soon as he gets close to enemies either behind or in front of them, it engages him in the fight. I guess this could just be sneak failing?
Also what is the damages you are getting when you get a successful backstab / sneak+backstab off? Just curious to the dmg ratio's compared to other party members?
