I can see where OP is coming from. I mean during the Death Knight story in Legion. We literally raise the Horsemen with the same power level as the freaking Lich King himself.
I mean hell for our mount questline, we literally choke out full on red dragon for wasting our time.
Speaking of, I’m preeeeetty sure Alextrasza might still be mad at me about that.
We don’t kill a lot of bosses though. Lore characters do.
Varian killed Onyxia
Maiev took down Illidan
The Titan Watchers take out Yogg Saron
Tirion Fordring broke Frostmourne, and the souls trapped inside took out Arthas
Thrall kills Death Wing
Khadgar and Yrel take out the Iron Horde
We’re imbued with the power of the Titan Pantheon in order to take down Argus.
Wrathion and MOM take out N’Zoth.
Almost everything else we either had help with, or were imbued with other people’s power in order to do it.
We; by ourselves; aren’t anything special. Maybe we’re above average when it comes to our power/strength, but for the most part, other people do our dirty work for us.
Not in the lore we didn’t. We were just kind of there. We helped a bit, but in the lore, the major characters were the ones that actually put the work in.
Nope. We’re just really powerful heroes with Godly or Legendary items that enabled us to perform those feats with the help of 9-39 other heroic champions.
Completely unrelated to this thread, but my biggest hope with patch 9.1 is that it adds Odyn and the Halls of Valor to Shadowlands. He’s just such an interesting character and he’s entrenched himself deeply into the lore in a natural way even though he’s a relatively new character.
