How powerful was Broxigar? Would he be an orc who could stand up to Malfurion, considering that Malfurion left Saurfang terrified in BFA ?
Let’s see what chat gpt says about them :
Broxigar was renowned for his exceptional feats of bravery and strength. He achieved legendary status primarily due to his remarkable act during the War of the Ancients, where he single-handedly wielded the magical axe known as the Axe of Cenarius to inflict a wound upon the dark titan Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion. This act, although ultimately fatal for Broxigar, bought crucial time for others to thwart the Legion’s invasion and alter the course of history. Broxigar’s valor and sacrifice became the stuff of legend, earning him a place of honor among the heroes of Azeroth.
Malfurion Stormrage is renowned for his mastery of druidic magic and his pivotal role in shaping the destiny of Azeroth. As one of the most powerful druids to ever exist, Malfurion possesses a deep connection to nature and the Emerald Dream, granting him unparalleled abilities in both arcane and natural magic. Throughout his long history, Malfurion has faced and triumphed over numerous threats to Azeroth, including the Burning Legion and other dark forces. His wisdom, leadership, and strength have made him a revered figure among both the Alliance and the Horde. Malfurion’s actions during pivotal moments in history, such as during the War of the Ancients and the Third War, have solidified his reputation as one of the greatest heroes of Azeroth.
Now, ChatGPT’s opinion on a direct fight :
In a hypothetical battle between Malfurion Stormrage and Broxigar, I would say Malfurion would emerge as the victor. Malfurion’s unparalleled mastery of druidic magic, his deep connection to nature, and his long history of facing and defeating powerful adversaries give him the edge. While Broxigar’s bravery and strength are legendary, Malfurion’s magical abilities and strategic prowess would likely give him the upper hand in combat. Additionally, Malfurion’s experience in facing various threats to Azeroth would allow him to adapt and overcome any challenges posed by Broxigar.
The issue is they make so many godlike characters, specifically Alliance aligned they couldnt be consistent with writing them at their correct power level.
How could you have a faction war if you accurately wrote one side with demigods, and the other side using pointy sticks.
The first question would be, does Broxigar get a sneaky back attack like his brother did? With HIS axe, it would be all over but for the crying.
The second question will be, is Tyrande there for this matchup? She’s glued to Malfurion’s side like a magnet, so probably. Then the question would be, is she a help, or hinderance? That would likely depend on whether he was in the mood to tell her ‘hush’, or beg for her help…
Yes, these are a bit on the satirical side…but hey, we are delving into hypotheticals.
The game does not do Malfurion justice to show his true power. He’s toned down quite a bit in the game
Malfurion could (if he were so inclined) create such catastrophic natural disasters he could destroy the planet.
I remember one story in lore where he was upset about something (like deeply upset, grief perhaps) and because of his emotional state all the oceans around the world became stormy and dangerous. Idk of any other character who can influence the entire world just by being upset.
I wish I could remember the specifics of the story, it really helps put his power into perspective
But in short, no, an orc with an axe (even Broxigar) would pose no threat to Malfurion
Malfurion defeated Archimonde which is completely wild. Now, while you can’t 1:1 say that just because Archimonde can kill an entire world that Malfurion can, but Malfurion is definitely on a level beyond a mortal.
Yes, Broxigar wounded Sargeras. Yes, Grom was able to strike down Cenarius. It’s not impossible for Brox to win but the odds are absolutely against him. Just look at Garrosh vs Thrall for what can happen when a Warrior must face a powerful magic user.
Don’t disagree, but in reality every magic form would do the same to non magic wielding classes. To keep the fantasy of warriors alive, they need to have something that levels the playing field against magic.
This thread is dumb. Broxigar was just a regular random meat head, and Malfurion is one of the most powerful people in the world. But more importantly, Broxigar is a lame character shoehorned into the lore by a terrible hack novelist.
