So I only recently started posting on this forum, and I figure that things I find out about the game should be posted here as well as my normal forum, as I tend to do a lot of testing.
If you equip a bow in your left hand (not crossbow,) and 2-hand it to fire an arrow, you can move into position, and backstab a player, or mob, and do the damage of the bow itself + BS bonus. With 12 dex, a composite bow +15, and poison arrows, I can BS for 175, with the darkmoon bow, moonlight arrows, hornets ring, 40 dex 50 faith, you can backstab for 475!
I know this sounds trivial, but it's new info, and is actually quite useful for PVP as your opponent will not hesitate to give you their back, or move in close when you have a bow 2-handed.
This works with every bow so far, and does not work with the few crossbows I tested, since they are not 2-handable in the left hand.
