Title: Inconsistant MW values
Reproduction Rate: 1/1
Blocker? no
Details:While tetsing some masterwork values on QA, I noticed that some numbers would actually go down as you levelled the skill. What I had done was use an obsidian item of unlearning to set my Masterwork Chain
Armor skill back to 1, then I was masterworking boots and recording the values of certain affixes as the skill levelled. The data I collected is as follows:



I have highlighted the inconsistant data section in pink. It shows the value for Armor Defense Masterwork going from 9.6 at skill 11 back down to 9 at skill 13. In the broader picture, the inconsistancy seems to start at skill lvl 10, where a consistant increase of .1 per level from skill lvl 1 through to 9 jumps to an increase of .4 at skill lvl 10.

Steps to Reproduce: Masterwork chain boots from skill level 1 through to x and note the values of the masterwork affixes as the skill increases. Other masterwork affixes and trees may want to be checked.

OK I went back over my results with a fine tooth comb and I think I can explain the 3 inconsistant data values:

The first at skill lvl 10, I had a MW failure on the first attempt and this may have skewed the 9.2 result
The 2nd at skill lvl 11, this was a 2nd MW on the item and skewed the 9.6 result
The 3rd at skill lvl 23, this was a 2nd MW on the item and skewed the 9.9 result

Without these 3 errors the data looks bug free.
