As Topic. Feats wise, Turalyon has beaten Gen1 Death Knights, killed Doomhammer and beaten demons that could seemingly kill Tirion. Not to mention he’s been fighting for 1000 years, but he doesn’t actually seem to do very much on screen, especially against an enemy heavily aligned with the void which you would assume would be where he is most useful.
Is he the strongest living Paladin? Do you expect he will do more as the expansion goes on, or have a major impact on the story, besides dying?
He didn’t kill Doomhammer.
He’s “probably” the strongest living paladin(as long as Anduin sticks to calling himself a priest), but you’re right he really doesn’t get to do much. I assume he’ll get a little more to do in later patches/Midnight since him and Alleria are getting along better.
My bad, he beat Doomhammer up
Illidan caught his sword bare handed.
He defeated Doomhammer after Lothar wounded him. The kill went to 12 mounted Knights who ganged up on him.
Illidan has the power of edgy plot armor. No force can overcome such power.
Illidan is twice Turalyon’s size and grabbed the sword at the beginning of the swing, so that’s nothing to brag about. Plus, that expansion threw everyone around Illidan under the bus to shill him.
Yes. The only WoW character to rival Illian for edgelord plot armor is Sylvanas.
Turalyon is arguably the strongest paladin as we don’t know how strong Yrel was in WoD, any Lightforged Draenei paladins have been pushed into the background and Lothraxion is a mystery.
For now, I think it’s safe to assume Turalyon is the strongest in the setting.
I chalk this up to, ‘Schrodinger’s Narrative.’
In other words, we don’t know how strong or weak a character is until they’re included in the narrative, and that will change from one appearance to the next.
A character is as strong or as weak as they need to be at a given moment. We’ve seen Khadgar one-shot high ranking demons before, and then watch Xal’atath eat his best attack like an anime OP Isekai protagonist.
Turalyon’s strength will depend entirely on the narrative’s call for it. If he needs to be powerful to save the day, then he will be. If he needs to be weak and pathetic to prove some new big bad is a threat, then he will be.
Nope.
Eventually, I imagine.
Probably not.
probably one of the most powerful member of the alliance along with malfurion and velen
He’s probably the strongest living -human- paladin, if only because all the other candidates have been disqualified for having already died. Who else is left at this point? I love Maxwell Tyrosus, think he’s a great character, but he’s not exactly known for paladin-specific feats. There’s probably plenty of Draenei, Lightforged or otherwise, who have him beat in terms of experience, but we don’t know how they compare in strength unless it’s shown to us at some point.
Well said. Turalyon has had a few close calls with death already, avoiding some of them only thanks to Alleria. Also, being strong isn’t the same as being invulnerable, and just because someone’s strong in combat doesn’t mean they can’t be tricked or ambushed or overwhelmed by numbers. Look at all the other legendary human paladins who are now dead. Turalyon’s strong, no doubt, but I’m not aware of any feats that would put him on level with, say, Alexandros Mograine in terms of being particularly difficult to kill. Also, I will point out that Tirion wasn’t just killed by demons; he was overwhelmed along with the rest of the Argent Crusade and captured by one of the nastiest villains in Warcraft.
This is the weakest argument you could have made even if your recollection had been correct.
Your recollection is not correct, though.

Stick with plot armor.
I reckon hes a monster
he basically lead the army of the light against the legion, his light powers probably match a big naarus
In the video, you can clearly see Turalyon raise the sword over his head while saying “You’ve doomed us all, betrayer!”, and Illidan grabs it as the downswing starts. And the size difference between the two is on display; Illidan on his hands and knees is half Turalyon’s height while Turalyon is standing.
Like it or not, Illidan grabbing that sword is nothing to brag about.
You’re not wrong about the plot armor, though.
SON I linked the damned video.
You’re one hundred percent wrong.
Illidan is on his knee and his fist.
It is not grabbed as it starts, it’s grabbed well and way toward the floor.

Why would you lie about something so stupid and easily disproven?
What did you gain from it?
It’s pathological.
I know what I’m talking about. If you’re so convinced you’re right, why don’t you link some screenshots instead?
No, you very clearly don’t.
Copy paste the damned url.

Link some screenshots.
???
Why would screenshots be better?
This is the dumbest cope I have ever witnessed.
And DK forums have Kelliste.

Because everyone can see the images here instead of clicking on a link and trawling through the video for the relevant scenes. So how about some screenshots?
Reposting the video link doesn’t make you right and you know it. Are you a fan of that scene? Do you feel insulted that I called it out? If you like it, fine, that doesn’t make my observation of what happened wrong.
It’s time cut!
