Weakness II

Weakness II is a negative potion effect in Minecraft. It gained notoriety when the EnderDragon class received Weakness II as a nerf.

Effect
The Weakness effect lowers the player's attack damage by 0.5 times the level of the effect. In the case of Weakness II, it lowers attack damage by half a heart. (Calculations: 0.5x2=1 damage=0.5 hearts)

History
Before Weakness II was added to EnderDragon in Super Craft Brothers, players could get Weakness I from Splash Potions of Weakness.

The Developer of SCB at the time, PaulBGD, wished to implement a nerf to EnderDragon. ShayminKeldeo421 (Now known as KidNowSquidNow) suggested giving it Weakness II, so it could keep the stone sword, while still receiving a nerf.

When news about the nerf broke out, it quickly became subject of controversy. Many players felt it didn't need a nerf, while others noted that the nerf was only a half-heart difference. Many attacked Shaymin for the nerf, which they felt was unneeded. As a result, the effect soon became subject to many jokes as well. Many jokingly asked for overpowered classes to receive the effect, and others joked that it makes Milk useful, since it removes potion effects.
