Shocking Incompetance

[whyBish]

EDIT:  Just rechecked the patch documentation, sorry, but there is NO reference to this change as intentional, no reference to it at all in fact.

- Increased difficulty for high-level players to reduce future
exploitation of the game system.

Pretty much covers all unintended 'features' ;)

But seriously ...

I think I am remembering :
- Fixed a bug in damage calculation for weapons which computed +min/+max
damage prior to +damage%.

Which is not what you are asking about. I think there was speculation in the 1.10beta that they were caused by the same change, but it doesn't look credible from here.
