If you give a Throneblade of the Ykesha to a level 1 character, as he levels it'll count as a 10/51 weapon, then 14/51, 30/51, and at level 30 he'll finally get the full 33/51 out of it. This distinction might seem minor (and in practice, it is), but knowing it will explain why high-strength melee types like Ogres commonly achieve maximum hits for 30+ damage during the teens.

Not so sure about hitting 30 in your teens. Even if you put all your starting points into strength on an ogre I don't think it's enough to change your damage multiplier by then. I seem to recall level 30ish being about the time non-ogres start seeing an improved multiplier, maybe mid 20s if you have some higher level character str buffing you and/or a masive twink job.
