Bugged Weapon!

I just found a new weapon on the ground! It is Damnation Crack Temple Maul. It requires Level 28. I am level 28. It has 15% Reduced Requirements, 55 Str. I have 98 Str without my shield. I meet the requirements to use this item. It is red in my inventory. When I hover it over my current weapon, I get a message that if I replace my current 2h mace with Damnation Crack, then I will lose the Shield Charge skill. It says to remove the skill to use the weapon. So I removed the skill and the item is still red. Now I hover over my current weapon and the Damnation Crack is still red. No message this time. The game will not let me equip this item. I tried increasing my strength just to see if a change will trigger it to recalculate, to no avail. I've went into and out of multiple zones, to no avail. I've logged off and back on, to no avail. The game will not let me equip this item, that I meet/ exceed the requirements for. What can I do to equip this weapon?

Edit: I've gained levels, and nothing. I can't use any Temple Maul. Not even ones from the vendors. What gives?

Meet the requirements.

The requirements displayed on an item can only be changed by local modifiers on the item itself. The change of "Weapon Requirements are Tripled" from Giant's Blood is not displayed.

Because the weapon requires 55 Str and you have Giant's Blood allocated, the weapon will require 165 Str to equip.

Thank you.
