So a 10 damage weapon parsed 46% minimum backstabs and a 13 damage weapon parsed 37% minimum backstabs.

Based on that alone wouldn't you expect to see a 27-30% minimum backstab amount with a 15 damage weapon? That... kinda matches what Kanras found and what I said a month and a half ago.

The distrubution DOES seem too linear.... I would expect a plateau effect of diminishing returns but we're seeing an almost linear calculation. I bet if a 10 damage weapon did 37%, a 13 33% and a 15 did 25-27% a lot less complaints would be heard, but there would have to be hard proof that it wasn't linear, i.e. parses of different weapons from live.
