Nerf: (noun, verb) defined as "to make less effective" or "to lower down" by changing in game rules or systems. Of course its a definite bummer for players getting hit the nerf bat, more so for those hit by a stealth nerf (unannounced nerfs implemented by devs).


NOoooooooo!!! - Image 1Hmm, for those who aren't tired of people calling "nerf" on the forums, this just might be something new. By some weird twist, forumers have turned their nerf warlocks threads into nerf druids. Wait, what?

We're so used to the Nerf 'Locks threads threads that it was a surprise to see something about one of the hybrid classes, the Druid. Some players are arguing that Druids are imbalanced (read: overpowered), in a sense that they shouldn't be as durable as a warrior tank-wise, deal as much DPS as a rogue or a mage, lure or kite like a hunter, and deal healing like a priest.

Druid is a hybrid class, in effect, they should be able to do what other classes can do but not always at par. Druids argue that they need to be specced and geared in a certain way to be able to do a specialized thing. Well, "nerf that class" is kind of a norm in the forums these days and maybe the Blizzard devs are taking the arguments in stride. The universe likes balance and so does WoW.
