In terms of strength, I’m told that the green orcs you see in Azeroth, such as Thrall and Saurfang, are fives times stronger than the Mag’har Orcs because of that green drink (forgot the name) they had on Draenor, is this true?
If so, how would these two usually fare in 1v1 battles as a result?
Green Orcs are the same as any other Orc. Alliance just want an excuse as to why they got steamrolled by the Horde in WC1 & 2 and Cenarius wants excuses for getting absolutely dominated by mortals. Grom wasn’t drinking demon blood for enhancements, he was thirsty and enjoys the flavor.
Demon’s blood gave them a lot of power but it wore out over time. That’s why the Orcs bceame lethargic after they lost the Second War and were cut off, and why Grom and the Warsong needed the boost to go toe to toe with Cenarius. Also, as Morgam said, that power burned out when Mannoroth got axed.
As far as I’m aware, the only changes that still remain are the green skin and an indeterminately longer lifespan.
As a side note, the Frostwolves were turned green by the sheer amount of fel energy that surrounded them during the Old Horde. They never drank the blood.
Don’t quote me on this but I think under the effects of Demon blood, Green Orcs were in fact stronger then Mag’har Orcs but when it wore off, it left them weaker then their untainted cousins.
