For trivia's sake, I am interested in knowing if the Scythe has or hasn't been the only weapon to have it's damage range change. I've played since prophecies but I can't remember every single detail of every update since then, and I don't know what happened during betas.

Unless I'm mistaken, Scythe damage range was not changed, just the crit rate. And since I've been playing (~1 year after releases), there have not been any weapon damage changes.

Oooh... I thought the damage was lowered to keep crit sins in check and the attack speed increased.

i think they just nerfed the %extra damage on crit to 9% extra instead of the 41% extra of other weapons

The damage range for scythes was not changed, only the bonus damage formula for critical hits has been changed.

To date, this is the only change to weapon damage that has occurred since the game was released.

Wasn't the attack rate of the scythe lowered from 1.75 to 1.5 ? (Which can be seen as a buff)
