Mana bombs

Considering its effectiveness on Theramore why didn’t the Horde manufacture more of it? Or worse try crossing it with new substances like blight…or Azerite?

I’d imagen making these kinds of weapons would be right up Sylvanases alley given it would be such a perfect means of dealing death.

Well, Theramore was so effective cause of the Focusing Iris, which has been hidden somewhere. I dunno if Azerite could work as a replacement.

We do use tactical mana bombs rarely, I think. On smaller scale.

That was because of the focusing iris, an extremely powerful artifact.

in legion it was stolen (again) but the player recovers before it can be used.
currently dalaran has it stored.

i got a better question.
Who needs mana bombs when you have intercontinental catapults that cause even more damage and with less risk?

Why not launch the mana bombs with the catapults?

Ah yes, the intercontinental catapults. The invention was funded by Gallywix and Sylvanas had some input on the design. Had Sylvanas not retreated and given up on the war, she had plans to place the first person on one of Azeroth’s moons using the catapults, and thus win the space race for the horde.

I wonder what has a greater crash record. Naaru & Draenei tech or Goblin tech.

Side note, what keeps causing the forums to automatically remove quotes?

It will often remote a quote if you are quoting the entire post. They don’t like you doing that. You can force it to show the entire post by doing this. Inside the persons post.

It won’t show up in the persons post (invisible) but counts as a change so won’t auto-remove it.

Then maybe the Alliance and Horde will fess up to the fact that Elune was fake the whole time.

Wake up sheeple (I’m not kidding I want a sheep man allied race and they’re all asleep)

I believe the answer is that without a powerful magical object to fuel it your average mana bomb caps out at hand grenade power. I believe in War Crimes the creator of the mana bombs creates other ones but their vastly less powerful.

Well whst you dont know is the draenei launguage has no word for flight only falling with style.

How hard would it be just to steal the Iris back?

I can’t imagen Dalaran being that well defended. I mean I might be wrong but can’t we just use Gallywix’s canon to punch a hole in it then take it?

Dalaran is well defended from outright assault. The Legion assaulted it twice and failed, and they had ships. Plus there’s that shield that, well, shields Dalaran that the Tirisgarde supercharged in their campaign.

I’m also not sure you could hit Dalaran with that cannon. As massive as that cannon is, can it really go that far?

The catapults in War of Thorns was silly but at least you can see Teldrassil from the coastline. Dalaran is not in sight of the cannon.

Then lure it into range or just infiltrate it. Can’t be that hard.

Nothing in this universe is impregnable.

It is also goblin tech, it would probably blow itself up.

I mean sure, it’s pretty clear that anything in the story can happen if the writers want it to. Since people giving you reasons why it didn’t happened, why would the story have the Focusing Iris stolen? The writers wanted the story to go in a certain direction, so a failed or successful attempt of capturing it wouldn’t have changed much.

Wanted the story to go in a different direction? Join the club.

Why would the horde steal it?

You could end the war if you got it. Hell even the Alliance could end it if they got it.

Why should a bunch of B grade mages own it?

Their stupid flying city wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for H & A heros.

“Oh thanks for saving us. Here, have an atomic bomb that ravages the land and twists time in the area permanently.”
