We do our best to ensure that we alert the community in advance of game changes (just like we did for the Legendary Item Improvements), and in this particular case, I wanted to jump in to reassure everyone that “black weapons” (i.e. weapons with the MinMaxDamage Affix) are not going to be nerfed in patch 1.0.7, and we have no plans going forward to nerf them.

Known Issues are just that, bugs that we know about. They are NOT necessarily bugs that are going to be fixed. The MinMaxDamage bug has been a bug known to us since July of last year, however, we did not want to fix a bug that would effectively nerf a large number of existing weapons. That’s why we did not fix the bug in any previous patch that we've released since the bug was found, nor are we fixing it in patch 1.0.7. Currently, the plan is that at such a time that we address the bug, the bug fix will only apply to newly created items, so as to not adversely affect existing items.

I remember reading a blue post about it will not get changed, but to balance it they boosted rubys in the next patch.

let´s say we got a conquest sword with 90-210 dmg and we roll a MinMax on that with 300 min 300 max. The min will add so the wepon becomes 390-391 dmg first THEN then max dmg will come on top of that so it becomes 390-691 then on top of that we get weapon damage %XX so a "minmaxdmg" bugged wep like my example would have 1100 dps while an elemental weapon would never have this amount of damage. If the weapon has ias it can get further "bugged". Note that these can roll much higher aswell like 399 min 4xx max? I dont remember max values.


Also old marquise ruby worked this way so in reality it gave 150 min + 150 max + 150 max now its just +120/+120. Was looking forward to bug some wepons but it's fixed

tldr; they plan to fix it at some point but not in this patch and the fix will not be retroactive when it happens
