I have to be honest here, Ner’zhul just isn’t that cool. I’m not even talking about WoD version, just his entire story makes him sound lame. From being tricked by ghost wife to being a puppet leader his entire character felt like he could of just been removed from the story and no one would notice. Even when he became one of the strongest forces on Azeroth he got to enjoy that for all of ten minutes before Arthas betrayed him.

Shadowlands made me feel this way about almost every big bad that had to do with The Burning Legion and The Scourge.
Zovaal should have just saved us 20 years and said “it’s-a me, I’m the big (not so) bad guy!”

I don’t even look at the Shadowlands story, doesn’t make a difference to my if Ner’zhul was a puppet of Gul’dan, Zovaal, or Kil’jaden. Ner’zhul is just lame since Wrath and before.

No, I would welcome it. Let me know how many people think the opposite.
There are a lot of people who probably don’t even know who Ner’zhul is. Because well, the story… laughable.

Wasn’t he the guy in Shadowmoon Valley for WoD expansion. In order to save his clan he had to do what the Iron Horde wanted. But it sort of then goes off that he would of done those unspeakable things anyways it would seem.
Something like that.

My interpretation of ner’zhul is that he was a relatively good person who was brought to the dark side by someone exploiting his biggest weakness. As far as i’m aware, as soon as ner’zhul realized what he had been duped into, he tried to stop it only for gul’dan to shut him up because everyone liked him and his kool-aid. Ner’zhul and his shenanigans to make portals to new worlds wasn’t in of itself even that bad of a thing given the situation the orcs were in. He was someone who was put into a horrible situation all for the crime of missing his dead wife and kinda liking having the spotlight. I think hes kinda interesting in that aspect. Ner’zhul isn’t some great hero, or some super evil guy, hes just a guy who’s suffered from something pretty much everyone will at some point. Everything after that kinda spirals super hard out of his control, even him using the scourge was nothing more than him being a puppet.

Ner’zhul was better represented in WC2 and 3. I really liked him in WoD too though.

He is the reason why whenever someone asks me “which class is the strongest in the lore” and I always answer “warlocks” without hesitation. And now OP is telling me the guy that destroyed the planet of Draenor and turned it into Outland doesn’t matter.

Won and hit the reset button. We wake up. Wrathion is laughing at us having failed at his 10 year vision he dragged us into during Pandaria

I liked it just so you can’t say it’s your least liked post.

I’m sorry if my opinion rattled your’s. Maybe since you play Warlock you enjoy those who grab for power while not knowing it’s another’s. I just don’t think doing a major show of power makes someone cool, Med’han would be loved more if that was so.
You had my pity, but now you have my attention.
Is that another opinion?

You’ll have to excuse me, I thought up my response a bit after I read your post and had my memory of your exact post mistaken.
