Imo they should make doomhammer "Can't be targeted by spells" and he will be playable.Nerf of rockbiter is bad cause Al'akir gets huge nerf too.And as we know class legendaries should be better than regural ones

Moved to Card Discussion
I couldn't believe they didn't nerf it back when they introduced standard, Druid got smoked, and so did some basic cards, but dammit they left doomhammer alone? Wtf
Well they left most of the classic set alone, other than gutting druid. There are other powerful class cards from that set other than doomhammer, in case you don't know.
6 mana -> combo moved to turn 7 and being on turn 6 allows you to properly use twilight hammer. Windfury -> iconic, don't remove it Overload 1-> less power to tunnel trogg 6 durability-> doomhammer really don't need to stay so long on board, and it lowers a bit the incredible upside of using harrison on doom.
Leave rockbiter as is, half a fiery war axe, being half a great removal card in exchange of being cast able on a minion you don't want if you are low on health.

OR, just make old rockbiter minion only, so that it stays an excellent trading spell, if you have board, while if you want classic removal you can use lightning bolt instead.
now at 2 mana rockbiter is too inefficient for trading, with the side effect of nerfing also Al'Akir the Windlord which is the shaman classic legendary, and is underused already without the nerf...
It hasn't seen competitive play in over a year anyway. Only seen one Shaman run it in the last several months. Ragnaros is already better and it's a neutral.

I returned to this game much like how a recovering alcoholic can relapse.
You can't give "can't be targeted by spells" to weapon, cuz spell is casted on hero. But giving "Can't be targeted by spells" to hero is too OP
Rather than nerfing the card, I would like to see it become a Legendary. Honestly Fiery War Axe is a good candidate for Legendary status as well.
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
Another reason this doesn't work is sequencing: A smart player could just rockbiter and then equip doomhammer

Let me change your mind...

The reason to nerf rockbiter isn't solely for doomhammer burst, it is also a great early-game removal that helps shaman get early board lead.
