Warriors at any level can wield torches without having the elite specialization training unlocked (lvl 80)

[SpOOkz.9163]

While I was leveling a Warrior, I was able to equip an Elite Specialization weapon which in this case was a torch that is for the Berserker which you have to unlock when you hit max level with the new Weaponmaster Training unlocked (Which I have). Also I found this on the wiki:

Quote

Weaponmaster Training is an account-wide feature that provides access to elite specialization weapons for each profession without having the corresponding elite specialization equipped or trained.[1] It requires that players own the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure expansion. After unlocking it, characters are granted access to weapons previously restricted to the elite specializations, even if the account doesn't own the respective expansions. The expansions are still required to make use of the elite specializations' trait lines. Beyond requiring at least one level 80 character to unlock the feature via the related story, it's also level-restricted and can't be used on characters below level 80.

So if this doesn't clarify it, I don't know what is. I just wanted to share this and hopefully this makes it a bit less confusing.
