Well its in the 2.1 patch notes ^^
That they reduced glancing rate. Anyway wasn't there a paladin (on this board) that hit kurinax like 100.000x to test glancings/weaponskill on PTR/Live?
Edit:
Gathering some data:
1.
Melee DPS in a post-2.1 world
~25% glancing, and glancing reduces damage ~25%
2.
Pre patch numbers were (IIRC): 40% glancing chance, 24% glancing penalty
The logs in the weapon skill thread in the class mechanics subforum place the glancing chance at ca 20% post patch and glancing penalty still ca 24%.
So neglecting crits and nonconnecting swings you are looking at
pre patch white damage: 0.6*1+0.4*0.76=0.904
post patch white damage: 0.8*1+0.2*0.76=0.952
