It does. I believe the item you are referring to is Khor, Hammer of the Guardian, yes?

I believe that is intended to be a transmog item and there should be a hotfix that should be going out shortly (if it hasn't been applied yet) to update the item to make that a bit clearer.

Alright, folks. I understand your frustration and if you wish to provide feedback you may do so in the General Discussion forum. As for specifically recovering from the changes please do the following.

If you deleted, vendored or disenchanted your previous weapon and you need to recover it, please use the Item Restoration page to do so.

If you are on cooldown because you recently used the Item Restoration option please submit a ticket using the "Loot Drop Problem".

Be sure to mention that you need to recover your previous weapon after the change to Khor, Hammer of the Guardian.

If you enchanted Khor, Hammer of the Guardian and need to recover the materials/enchantment, etc... you can also use the same ticketing method. Our Support staff will work to verify what you had on the weapon for recovery.

Classes

Warlock

Demonology

Diabolic Raiment 2-piece set bonus chance to activate reduced to 4% (was 20%).

Items

Khor, Hammer of the Guardian is now item level 120 to signify that it is a Transmog weapon.

Island Expeditions

Seafarer's Dubloon items may no longer be used in PvP Island Expeditions.

Developers' notes: We're looking for ways to use Dubloons in the future, but for the time being, we do not feel that Dubloon use makes for a good experience in a PvP setting.

Demolishers and Siege Tanks have been tuned to do less damage, with longer cooldowns on several of their abilities.
Missions

Stealth missions now only have two bosses or objectives to counter.

Player versus Player

Relentless (PvP Talent) and Hardiness (Orc Racial) no longer stack their Stun duration reduction effects.
Fixed a bug that was preventing the weekly Conquest turn-in quests from being pushed to some players.
Bonus Rolls for Rated Arena and Rated Battleground matches will now be removed when leaving the instance.

Professions

Classic Engineering

The F.R.I.E.D., Organic Discombobulation Grenade, and Thermo-Accelerated Plague Spreader all now require fewer materials to craft. Rank 3 versions of their recipes should now also require fewer materials than Rank 2.

Classic Inscription

Glyph of the Headhunter has been removed, as it is no longer a viable glyph.

Quests

Fixed a display issue when interacting with the Injured Zandalari Soldiers on “The Road of Pain”.

World Quests

Fixed a bug causing Ji'arak and Warbringer Yenajz to fail to offer a bonus roll prompt in some situations.
Fixed an issue that could cause "Save Our Scrolls!" to go away and not reappear until the player exited and re-entered Torga's Rest.
Sabertron should no longer fail to spawn after you “Kill the Sabertron Technician”.

Comment by Dem0nkezNo mention of normal mythics being increased in damage done. :/
me and a few guildys done the motherload mythic like we have done the last few weeks and noticed the mobs hit like trucks and me being a tank defiantly noticed it the most o.OComment by nerdgirl1993No mention of normal mythics being increased in damage done. :/

The vehicles were at least fun.Comment by hobbidaggyI’m confused by the glyph removal...how is a trivial cosmetic change “no longer viable”Comment by JimbrooksNo mention of normal mythics being increased in damage done. :/

Weapon drops should feel good and productive now! The fact that we had artifact weapons last expansion was a great reason to have transmog weapons, but weapon drops are feeling really terrible right now as it is (personal experience) and they are now removing the chance at a really awesome weapon drop all for the sake of transmog? Why? This doesn't feel fun or helpful. Especially when I was really looking forward to that drop.Comment by kodora1316I’ve reported this in game, but I’m hoping they fix the bug in Kua’fon’s quests soon. If you’re on one of his dailies and enter a dungeon the quest is removed from your log. Not just reset, but removed. You have to go back to Kua’fon, re-accept, re-do, THEN turn in.

Minor, but still a bug.Comment by NeryssaAhh, using Tier 20 was hilarious while it lasted. Hopefully they buff either Destruction or Demonology so we don't have yet another expansion where Affliction is by far the best spec :(Comment by VorseliaWhy they havent say anything about not getting que on RBGs? 2 days and cant even que for RBGsComment by gunsotsuWhy they havent say anything about not getting que on RBGs? 2 days and cant even que for RBGsComment by gunsotsuWhy on earth do we need "cosmetic" weapons in current content?

They won't know unless you tell them.Comment by KiranaxDid you at least report/ticket this so they know? They won't know unless you tell them.Comment by timo4545the only other 2H weapons in Uldir are Voror, Gleaming Blade of the Stalwart and Khor, Hammer of the Corrupted.

Uhhh... sure about that?Comment by DarkAviatorOh, nice, they reduced the mats required for the Engineering bombs ... now that I can't use them anymore for getting skill points ...
