Multiplayer unique staff "Deathward" got downgraded from item level 18 to 14...

Well, this afternoon i was playing, bought a big chest and dropped an unique staff called Deathward with an amazing effect, 1% healing per hit, my staff was already great its a unique item level 19 and have 136 dps, deathward had 98 or around and with my last Superb Spirit it got to ~130, my ilvl 19 staff have something like 20 magic bonus so ive thinked a lot about spending my last superb spirit rune on it but the healing was so amazing that i couldnt resist, used it, tried it, was amazing, of course isnt a ilvl 22 but who cares?

But for my surprise, i logged out, came back like 5 hours later, and then picked my necro to test it on him (just used with the arcane warrior ealier) and tah-dah the deathward now have 117 dps??? I couldnt believe my eyes, opened the item info and more surprises, the item level droped to 14 and the constitution and willpower bonus droped as well, so i've lost an amazing item AND my last unique spirit rune??? Why? Is this some bad joke?

Because Multiplayer is basically "item grind", then we spend a lot of hours doing the same 3 dungeons to get gold, spend real money to get platinum, to buy your random chests that usually just drop **bleep**, to get some nice **bleep** and see it got nerfed FEW HOURS LATER? Keep in mind EA ppl, that this is the kind of **bleep** that makes you lose players. You guys need to revert that nerf, really, it cant be like that. Its hard to fix Reaver buff bug, Arcane Warrior barrier bug, and several more, but it just takes and instant to nerf our nice tools.... ? Good job EA.

    Thanks for the details. This sounds like a bug rather than anything deliberate, and the other report I've seen on this was also a Deathward staff, suggesting that the issue is with the item itself.

    Hey, this is on PS4 with the same handle that you're using to post here, right? 

    I have seen a very small number of reports similar to this, so I'd like to gather some more info. Even if rare, this is understandably aggravating

    Can you post the approximate time (with timezone) what you initially received the staff, and what type of chest you opened? I assume large, but best to double check. Also please include when you logged back in and noticed the issue. 

    Thank you.

    Im not sure if i get what u mean, i used my celphone and my EA account to post this, and the issue happened in PS4 (my psn account is snzk7).

    Yes i got the staff from a Large Chest, bought it december 7, at 06:50 p.m (GMT -2) logged out 40 minutes later from that time, then i came back december 8, 02:00 a.m (GMT -2) and noticed the change.

    That never happened before, this is a bug or something u guys wanted to do? Like "downgrading cause its to powerfull"?

    I really thx for your replie, and wonder if u guys can do something about that...

    Hi, my Xbox live gamer tag is General Zama. I have a staff (multi-player) that does not allow me to put a blade or grip on it, even though it shows blank slots for grip & blade. It's the one that has18% heal on kill (unique). Can I please receive assistance with this? Thanks. When I try to put a blade/grip upgrade, I see a spinning icon that data is downloading and then an error message that says item modification was unsuccessful
