Weapon Damage Decreased?

Jumped on the PTS and wanted to test out how an old build of mine which maxed weapon damage would perform without soft caps, and I'm not sure if weapon damage is scaling correctly, or if we were intentionally nerfed (or if I'm misunderstanding the new numbers).

On my old build wearing red mountain, ashen grip, dreugh king, plus more weapon damage enchantments, I was able to hit the soft cap on weapon damage, and then some. Usually sat somewhere around 220, then whatever numbers were left off because of diminishing returns.

My understanding is that all numbers in the game have now been multiplied. However, when I create the same setup on the PTS, I'm only hitting 1920 weapon damage.

In the old system, this would be 192, which isn't even at the soft cap for v14 weapon damage.

Am I missing something in the new patch, or has there been an intentional nerf?

    its not just you....they nerfed armor and character weapon and crit values...and added a bunch of fluff numbers to the health and stuff to make it seem bigger and hide the nerfs. I took a more than 50 percent dps drop on my dk on the pts. its a shame
