It was near the end of my play session last night, so I didn't extensively keep testing. However, I figure maybe somebody who has time to play during the day today can look into this.
I have a non-seasonal Demon Hunter (always been non-seasonal, it's my first char). In my stash I had Hellcat Waistguard that I wanted to reforge in the cube. But every time I reforged, the resulting item had random stats instead of DH/Dex like it should've. I tried I think 6 or 7 times.
If nobody replies before later on tonight, I'll try it again and see if I can confirm it's bugged.
Maybe It will be some kind of long shot, but is it possible that you have this belt for very long time as well as you DH and belt itself is legacy item? That's the first thought that come to my mind after reading your post. It is possible that legacy items could reforge in different way.
I'll check it again when I get a chance to play again later tonight. Could've been a fluke. If it's still happening, I'll try to get another one from upgrading rares, and see if the same thing occurs on reforge. Might just be a problem with the specific one I had in my stash...I hope so.
Well, if it has got legendary power, so the item is definately new. I'll see If I have some in stash later and try to reforge some on my DH to cross check.
EDIT: just fast checked my season mail and some chars and I don't have this belt... I could have sworn that I got at least one. If I got some time tomorrow I'll maybe be lucky to upgrade one If I succedd I'll let you know.
I think there's something going on with it. According to a post in the battlenet thread, Hellcat is rare but not as rare was Witching Hour, which I rolled at least 3 times.
The Hellcat Waistguard is disabled in 2.6 code. Has a drop rate of zero. It's also not flagged for DH stats, which likely explains the reforging issue.
So anybody who claims to have seen one drop after 2.6 is either mistaken or lying.

The one I reforged to start with definitely had the grenade bounces. I don't think that's it. Good thinking though.
Based on my research, the grenade bounces were added in patch 2.4.3, which came out in January. I didn't get the game until the end of February.

The old Hellcat is still rolling random main stats and skills. Not restricted to DH/dex like it should be.
had a ton of mats saved up, and upgraded rare over 100 times. Never rolled a Hellcat. What are the odds? I got at least 3 copies of every other belt.
