i wonder if they even considered something like "can't attack heroes." . the 50% increase of the manacost seems like a lot, especially considering this is a basic card. the card only became a problem with the rise of pirate warrior, where it is mainly played for the face damage. but well... still kinda glad they nerfed something about it...
Seems legit. After all, it's not like Warrior is the class that is, you know, supposed to have the best weapons ?
Warrior took a big hit to the face, it's understandable that Pirate Warrior is annoying to deal with, but was that the good answer ? Of course not, nerf Pirates for all I care, but that's just spiting in the general direction of every Warrior, it's not like Control or Tempo or even Quest Warrior decks are even good these days, they really needed that nerf to hit now.
Sure, War Axe was too good so I understand the need to change it but now I don't want to wait until goddamn December so thay they can print a replacement, if they even print a replacement, and meanwhile having to sit as people drop their 1/3 and I can't deal with them.
So the nerf is understandable but that's just like the worst timing ever.
That nerf is dumb. It's now much worse than Warrior own weapon and rallying blade, and Rogue's immune weapon. They should have just removed a durability or made it not go face.
Fiery War Axe will change in an upcoming patch:
Reasonable change Rallying blade is strictly better now but War Axe is a basic card so it should be a bit worse than a rare card.
When life gives you lemons, trade'em for limes and get some Coronas!
Northshire Cleric approve this change!
So, it is now a worse King's Defender. Blizzard destroyed the card.

The 1st step towards a better game is firing Mike Donais! We had enough of his "skillful" balances!

bye bye fiery win axe!
Well that change screws my DK warrior worse than it screws with pirate warriors so thanks blizzard. I really appreciate it.
I'm glad they changed it, but now is worse than almost every other 3 cost weapon.
Warrior now have the worst 3-mana weapon ?

still gonna be played in control warrior but no way it's gonna make it into pirate warrior, i like the change.
This is outrageous!
Seriously, though. I love warrior, but this is long overdue.
Justice.
Finally, I wait this nerf for a long time!
what, who asked for this

WHO THE FUCK ASKED FOR THIS CHANGE ????? Now Control warrior doesn't have any anti-aggro tool on turn 2 .. I'm triggered!
I think this nerf is related to pirate warrior not control one. Since it's give a huge advantage at turn 2 plus dread corsair
Glad I already have my golden warrior hero.
