With our continued datamining of the Season of Discovery Phase 5 PTR, we've discovered a line of high item level class-specific epic weapons! Look out for spoilers below!
A Little Something for Everyone
There's a weapon, shield, or other item for each class, most of which containing two or more variants for different specializations, that can be swapped between with a special use action.

- Rogue: Dream Eater is the only version available to Rogues.
- Shaman: Terrestris for DPS and healers can be turned into Terrestris for Shaman tanks.
