so there was a very heated discussion related to the silder not giving any bonus magic and it being "broken" is there any truth to this?

Quote from InstallShieldWizard

It is not broken, it just gives you a flat bonus to legendary drops, not magic find in general and therefore it isn't listed as magic find.

Is there a blue post on this? Just wondering

yes there was a blue post on this a few days ago, also 200 or so other posts about this exact same thing

Blizzard also does not want to list what the extra legendary find rate is at each point in the slider of torment

I bet it is like 0.1% each slide.

I think they might still be fine tuning it and make adjustment to it during patches and hot fixes. It might also be changing based on the last time you got a legendary to tie in with the safety net for Legendary drops.

There is also the fact that mf is only 10% effective for leg/set items.

Even if the bonus is say 20% per slider that number could still be quite low to find Legendaries since that might only boost the chance by .05% or some low amount like that. Blizzard does not want the headache of stating why it works that way and that it is broken. It is just better to leave it hidden.
