Love how you guys ignore the fact I just said Darkclaw's ability was changed.

His ability change isn't really relevant to why he is a "hero of interest" now.
Also him being changed was primarily due to all heroes being changed from passive to active as far as i can tell. And quite frankly, for a solo deck, his new ability seems superior to his old one.
Currently they are testing this I believe.. If this hits live I'm unsure.
3SE: Until the start of your next turn, Darkclaw deals +2 damage with weapons and receives half damage.
Well... i suppose i would consider this a nerf... i think? I mean you would be able to kill off his non teeth weapons a lot easier with mobs... and be able to deal at least some damage so you wouldn't have to wait for his weak points.. and deal safe damage to him after you destroy his weapon...
It is at least a step in the right direction. I think it will make it easier for ally users to kill him, and harder for mages to kill him.
Quite frankly, shadowfont will be significantly better for DC with 3 SE cost vs 4 in many situations. +2 damage seems like too much, but +1 seems like too little. I think i would make it +1 against heros and +2 against allies, or visa vera.
The only reason he is surviving due to stall, is because of the way wulven / shadow cards are designed. Having that ability with a solid ally deck would be nuts.
I love the fact that shadow era can be updated, but the design team has to be careful as well. We don't need heroes changing every single patch when new cards are added. Quite frankly i think all heroes should be nerfed across the board so that they aren't as strong of a presence to allow card production to develop smoothly. Add stronger heroes when more cards are available.

can this thread die now? you all complained and complained and complained and complained... so kyle insisted on a change. 3se for half damage rounded down and +2. this is what we are gonna test.
now DC is pissed and he is going to eat you all.
have a nice day
(ps: stall wasnt the only way to play him. and some ways he was stronger. the stall build is just the one that made the rounds.)

It always happens Cait. People complain like little bitches all day long because they can't come up with counters or see the bigger picture and the knee jerk reaction is to just nerf shit to the ground until people find something else to bitch about.
Has happened in every version - first Elad, then Zaladar, then Elementalis, then Majiya, now Darkclaw.
Warriors will be next, I'm sure of it.
Instead of frequently nerfing we should be lobbying for faster card releases or buffing previously useless cards so that people have more options to counter different strong tactics

Especially in DC's case. Most people agree that's he's not OP, even the people who do most of the complaining about him. Why are we wasting time and resources changing a hero that some players find boring? I'd much rather see better cards for hunters and rogues than this.
