At one point in the game, the developers reduced the power of swords in melee combat. This resulted in players complaining that it was like they were hitting each other with nerf bats, not swords. From then on, if ever something gets made less worth while than it had been originally, it is considered 'nerfed'Nerfed1.To make something pointless whereas before it was productive 2.To Stop something working Usually a term used in online gamesIt seems the term "nerf" is mostly meant to describe something that not only was reduced in power, but in a way that made it a poor choice to use going forward.  Taking away this exploit doesn't make the warlock a poor choice to play or less powerful than any other class, so I probably wouldn't use that term.</blockquote>
