let's avoid using mathjax for italicising terms in titles please. the formatting doesn't render on other sources (google, twitter, chat oneboxes, etc) and just gets left as literal mathjax code.

This question asks about the maiming weapon enchantment, which was updated in Complete ArcaneMagic Item Compendium:

Miniatures Handbook:

If the weapon normally has a ×2 critical multiplier, roll 1d4 each time you successfully score a critical hit to determine your multiplier. For weapons with a ×3 multiplier, roll 1d6 to determine the new multiplier. For a ×4 multiplier, roll 1d8.

Magic Item Compendium:

Whenever you score a critical hit with this weapon, it deals an amount of extra damage depending on its critical multiplier. Critical Multiplier Extra Damage:

×2 1d6
×3 2d6
×4 3d6

Was the old version broken? It seems to me that the new version is really bad, and the old version is still very weak.
