Logged in today after the patch and noticed I was missing 1% hit, so I took my wand off and noticed I was back where I was before the patch (which makes sense, because fist weapons = unarmed as far as the game is concerned).
I realize the 1% expertise Orcs got from wands probably was not intended, so I guess I won't complain. Still would have been less annoying if I knew this change was coming, though.
