There has been some confusion in World of Warcraft regarding the Gladiator's Touch of Defeat in the public test realm (PTR). This epic wand can be obtained through the Arena PvP System and binds when picked up. It does 223 - 414 Fire Damage at a rate of 167.6 damage per second. In addition to that, this wand grants +15 Stamina, +11 Intellect, improves your resilience rating by 12 and increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 14.

While it is a pretty good wand, a few players have noticed that it's shooting out arcane bolts instead of fire, which has led to quite a few misconceptions regarding its origins. Blizzard Localization QA Tootamia has been informed about the problem on the WoW Europe Forums and has given word that the item was just assigned a wrong animation and that it will be fixed in future versions.

Be advised though that the wand still works perfectly in spite of the animation and can still be considered a viable option in raids or PvP.
