Game Mechanics: Melee Special Bonuses

[Aadill]

Shiftin mentioned that when using Duelist (2x base damage) his minimum backstab was not doubled and would therefore hit with a minimum of 88 (current level 59 minimum damage) with Duelist on.

While we're at it, duelist is not raising the minimum damage value for backstabs when activated. Does anyone know if this is correct? I hit a duelist BS yesterday for 88 and facepalmed.

I also have encountered issues with double archery damage not increasing to 2x damage when hitting for a minimum hit. Minimum hit is 1+Bonus damage, or 1+18 in the case of my bow. In managing to hit a non-moving non-rooted target the mob is still possible of being hit for 19 damage despite receiving the double archery damage message.

It sounds like it might be a widespread issue of when the calculations of multiplying base damages are being made, but probably requires a bit more investigation.
