I've never noticed anything like that. Where have you seen that in an extensive setting? Like, how many people?

I haven't followed it recently. Been a long time since I was trading. Maybe some of the mechanics have changed to d2r, i assume you're writing about d2r here.

i talk about lod and my poins is why little bit of minimum dmg is better then little bit of maximum dmg as long as it added to the over all average dmg

To me, max damage is better, because of the simple calculation that the more max damage you have, the more chances you get for getting a high damage number, also taking critical damage into account.

So i really don't know why they want min damage over max. Doesn't sound logical. Only thing i can think of is pvp.. that it may be better to rely on more consistent damage than risk getting lots of low hit point damage hits.

I guess it's because min can go up to +9 while max can only go to +4 on rings.

Anyway the best ring to pair with raven on a bowa is nature's peace or wisp for oak charges... the only match-up I'd give natures/wisp up is vs ele druid where oak gets instant'd by hurricane and where zoo can be leeched from.

Min damage is typically the problem with bowzons - they have a large range in damage. It's better to boost min damage than max damage for more consistent hits in pvp. Some use diamond bow faith for this reason. Ideal ring for pvp bowzon is +9min 25str 15dex 40+life and light/fire resis ~ 30%. Need 1 raven for bis cbf.
