Wurmslayer was most certainly never 2hp. Were there even 2hp weapons in the game prior to Velious? Gordon's post about needing a "polearm" skill, aka 2 handed piercing, would indicate that it hadn't existed at that point.

As for the erroneous change what he is saying is that it definitely originated as a 2hs weapon and was accidentally changed to 1 handed piercing instead of 1 handed slashing as they had intended. The 1 handed slash change was implemented pending the next patch. The only thing that can really be argued is whether it was ever a piercing weapon on Live before it went from 2-hs to 1-hs.

It wasn't labeled as 2hp; it just said 'piercing'. Curious as to how long it was 2hs before becoming piercing.

I only remember piercing, then 1hs, so that's anecdotal failure on my part I guess. Only used the weapon briefly due to it being an incredible stamina killer.

Since paladins didn't have piercing skill, did Wurmslayer use slashing skill? That's what I recall, but I can't remember if I got skill ups.
