Throughout your history of WoW, what was your favorite nerf (either justifiable in your own opinion or not) that was done in the name of "class-balance"?
I'll start! I would call "Focused Casting" for priests in 1.10 as the biggest nerf, but I think that was done out of ignorance, not out of class-balance concerns, so I'll defer to my second fav nerf: the Intimidating Shout (also in 1.10), when they made it so it will affect a max of 5 targets. The best part of it was how much the warrior class whined about it afterwards, as if priests' & warlocks' version of the same ability hadn't already had the same limitation since inception, or like warriors need any further advantage taking on more than 5 opponents at once...
What about the rest of you? (You can call non-WoW related nerfs if you want, but I don't know that they will be as widely appreciated.)
