2hs to pierce ( i believe this was on the test server). But it could have very-well been a pierceing weapon in the game... if so tho wouldn't it be 2h piercing... what was the Messenger of the Queen? I feel that the items may had gotten switched on the test server and then corrected.
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.
