In battle, I played as an Arbalest and used a cannon skill, putting my special armament on cooldown. When I died, it caused me to lose items - including my offhand item. I know it was my offhand as it was named, and it was Vorpal so a curse did not affect it.

It requires more testing to ensure it wasn't some one-time bug for some reason - or it could be intentional, I'm not sure. I'll update later if I find out more.

Holy. . . That would be awful. . .I am 99.999% Sure that isn't intentional.
