I said your math was wrong because min hit has NOTHING to do with weapon damage, only level. You will always backstab for 120 at level 60 even with a rusty dagger, you'll just rarely hit over that.

Apparently Duelist engages a different formula for minimum damage, though.

These formulas were ONLY factoring in when Duelist was active. I thought that was pretty clear in the other thread. That's why it is (Weapon Damage * 4) and not just (Weapon Damage) for the Max.

Using a rusty dagger the minimum hit would be 120 with and without Duelist active. (The minimum damage would come out to be 78.)
