Who do you guys think is the strongest death knight? Vote on the community tab poll. Also I'd like to thank Raid for making this video possible, check out the game: clik.cc/zfNzI
So basically Arthas dropped his hammer, picked up frostmourne and defeated Illidan without even leveling up his two handed sword skill? Doesn't get more OP than that.
The bond he has with that blade is the greatest bond between a person and a weapon in the entire lore. The blade was forged so he could wield it, it was waiting for him. His soul is in that blade. Illidan bragged about how he found his blades 10 000 years ago, yet thats nothing compared to Arthas and Frostmourne. He is Frostmourne and Frostmourne is him. He cant be bested in battle, it was only thanks to Deus ex machina that he died. Imo, had it been realistic he could have beaten everyone. Sargaras? He would be a joke. Dreadlords can come back to life in the twisted nether? Not if their souls get enslaved. Old gods? Same. Dreadlords put a limiter on Frostmourne out of fear of its power. Had Arthas had the time to remove it, oh boy. Sargaras and N'Zoth would have became deathknights.
Jailer is the first and still is. Jailer created frostmourne in the Helm of domination that creates The Lich King and this was probably why the jailer was cast away

Ready to play a Death Knight for a bit during Shadowlands... will definitely be a fun class to role play with. Shadowlands looks like it will open up a lot of RP for people.
I have not played a DK since my guild finished Naxx in Wrath ( I played Paladin/Holy, Shaman/Elemental after) but recently I started leveling one for the heritage armor and I am actually getting excited to keep playing it in Shadowlands. I may stick with it through shadowlands simply for lore reasons.
@Hyperion Arthas is the reason knight of ebon blade exists in the first place. Ebon hold took it vengeance durning WOTLK whit the argent crusade they form the ashen'verdict that lead the offensive over the citadell.
Well that was the DK fantasy till Warcraft 3 i guess, they were even introduced as a Darker version or rather a counterpart to the Paladin, making one abandon holy and embrace the Unholy energies.
That was actually a goal of Arthas as the Lich King. He wanted to have Deathknights that could wield the light. But he was only successful in one, yet that one also wasn't as malicious as Arthas wanted. He still had compassion and cared for the living even if he was a member of the Four Horseman. I'm talking of course about Sir Zeliek in Naxxramas.
@@HavocHounds1988 Arthas never created Zeliek though that was Kel'thuzad but I get what you are saying. I actually hoped in Wrath that when we created a DK we had to have a paladin to a certain level and then that Paladin would turn into a DK through some questing etc. It makes sense to me that today's DK's would be former paladin's.
As soimeone that played a DK for a decade, I feel the correct list is the following. Admittedly 6-8 are pretty even and could be interchangeable, rest have a fair bit of lore supporting said claim. 1. Arthas Menathil 2. Bolvar Fordragon 3. Darian Morgraine 4. Teron Gorefiend 5. Baron Rivendare 6. General Nazgrim 7. Sally Whitemane 8. Thoras Trollbane 9. Thassarian 10. Koltira Deathweave
@@WeedStriker same here man, it's been a wish of mine since vanilla, I guess the courupters raiment will have to do, Its my favorite armor set in wow currently.
Hey, i just wanna have a fun chat. I love WOWs world and really wanna bounce ideas of some y'all. For starters I've never seen a bigger magic based world. So question: what your favorite kind of magic?
@@simpleman3898 Favorite kind in wow? Arcane/Fel. Arcane probably my favorite simply because of its potential. We have seen arcane be able to revert the affects of Fel/Void etc and we have seen Arcane evolve creatures into superior beings. Arcane is also the magic of order.
I was so excited when we brought Nazgrim back. He was one of my favorite characters. I am a huge fan of the Orcs and lore. And I really loved that he was raised as such a strong knight. I even took screenshots of his crazy feats in the campaign lol.
Bolvar should not be included in this ranking. The guy was sitting on the frosty toilet all the time and guarded the remains of the powerful force that was the Scourge . Why didn't you mention Thassarian or Koltira ? These two guys are much more better Death Knights than bolvar.
Dude just because he spent a respectable amount of time as a Lich king ,he was ''even theoritically'' both the greatest death knight and necromancer on Azeroth at that time. What are you talking about?! Those years on that frosty toilet were enough to consider him the 2nd greatest.
This guy absolutely should be included. Helm of domination was created by jailer to have and agent on Azeroth that would conquer it. Its name doesn't mean that the wielder is dominating. It means that the helm dominates anyone who wear it to do jailer's bidding. While Arthas wasn't able to resist its influence, Bolvar remained strong willed all this time, which speaks volume how strong he really was. When he fought Sylvanas he probably had to fight on two fronts, as Sylvanas had portion of power of jailer (being stronger that titan) and Bolvar had to resist jailer during the fight, as he is the master of helm. It was probably even harded when he had to rely on his power(we can see it when his fire turns blue in the cinematic). I am so tired of people who doesn't konw anything about the story complaining "hurr durr lich king a bitch!!!1". Judge the expansion when you get to know it.
Number 2 should be the DK Player because he/she has the plot armor, not even the Jailer can compite with that and that's why the "Four horsemen" will work this time. P.S. Forget what I just said if the DK Player is a Gnome a Pandaren or another Vermin race.
@@Eucep I don't think so, the Paladin Arthas Menethil was barely able to keep the Lich King from not murdering Jaina in the Halls of Reflexion. He also killed the Players and was about to raise them when Tirion was saved by the Light.
@@Eucep That's actually a pretty interesting theory. If it was just Tirion calling the Light's intervention, he would have still been alive to date. Because we all know what happened when he called the Light again during his last fight. I always equate Arthas with Hal Jordan more than Anakin Skywalker. And this theory would add quite a lot to that comparison. Its also one of the reasons why I still hope we get a "Rebirth" type storyline for him in the future, no matter how "cheap" or "generic" that would sound to others.
@@AtilonWoW he was not. He was getting weaker and weaker, because Illidan made some fuckery, whitch hurt Ner'zul. And even at his prime, he was somewhat 2x stronger than a officer DKs in a NerZul army. Mind this - NerZuls DKs (basically 2nd gen, howether few consider em 3rd gen), are considered WEAKEST of DKs, owerpowered both by likes of Teron (1st gen), and DK of Lich King when he was amalgamation of NerZul and arthas, AND by DK ressurected by PC. Also, his fight w Illidan - basically his ONLY feat of strenght, cause all his other victories - both as Palladin and DK he achieved with an army, and not solo, and of course he had only a bit squadron as a Prince of lordaeron, but as a DK he had army so big its pale remains literally haunt Quel talas to this day. So, idk how arthas as a DK was strong. Lei Shen i should mention. He is a mortal being (well, i have to admit - Mogu in base form is stronger than a human in such), and as such he was stated by blizzard to be STRONGER whan a Lich king (Whey stated that LKs strongest at controlling minions, so if 2 armys would clash - scourge would definetely win, howether if LK Arthas ever to fight Lei Shen 1 on 1, Arthas would be stomped). And it was a LK arthas with all might of the helm, which i remind you - is direct conduct to all the power of the real of the death. So if LK Arthas wasnt that powerfull, what to say about his DK form?
@@AtilonWoW He owerwhelmed antonidas with an army of scourge and magical constructs, howether i pretty sure he would win 1v1 with him tho, but DKs at that time were basically counters to magick due to undead by their side, and an AMS. But despite Arthas would win 1v1 with Antonidas i still think he was far stronger. Its just didnt shown in WC3, but in books and other lore sources Antonidas... well, not an OP, but a rather strong mage. One of the strongest non-special ones (As keeper or guardian for example). While he did defeat Uther with only ghouls and catapults, it was a freakton of undead and a siege weapons. And Uther, unlike other Paladins fought solo (for... reasons?). So... Yeah. Also, yes, he 1v1nd Illidan, and its a good feat of powerscaling, BUT - despite LK being weak, Arthas got significant bufs from being near to him - oth he, and his blade. So yeah, while Arthas basically had +1-1 while fighting Illidan, i think it was just either dumb luck, or something else, cause even in canon Illidan is far stronger at that point (wasnt shown in WC3 but whown very clearly in WOW and Books), and to be honest be being fencer IRL - 2 handed weapon (especially frostmourne witch is VERY heawy for its lenght cause of giant fullmetal guard) has significant disadvantage against 2 weapons. I guess saving grace of arthas was the fact that Frostmourne was far stronger than enchanted warglaves Illidan had at this point. At this point you could think i just hate Arthas. No. Its actually my favorite character in the whole universe. And its the reason i studied him and his lore so much
@@DarkBlackGod14 Illidan had a upper hand almost whole combat, but then he started showing off, like those flying... being overconfident gets him defeated. Dont know where you had read that, but i dont think that someone who stolen powers from titanic watcher could be stronger than Lich King.
I always get emotional when I think about Dranosh. I still think one of the greatest moments of WoW was was when Varian let Saurfang collect the body of his Son. It was the first time a video game made me cry.
The Legion-era player Death Knight should probably be on this list. Commander over the Legion-era Four Horsemen, fought through an army of paladins, massacred hundreds of demons, battled across a frozen island full of hostile undead on their own, (possibly) slaughtered a ton of red dragonkin single-handed, (maybe) fought a Titan, and a ton of other things. Rank 4 or 5, I'd say.
idk... its my opinion but, i do really think we qualify as the number 1 most powerfull death knight. We would be bested only by the lich king arthas himself, but his death knight previous state it would probably lose, thats how much of a powerhouse the deathlord is... maybe just maybe we would lost agaisnt lich king bolvar in a 1v1 combat, but im not really sure.
@@miramalverick2767 technically in legion your character is the most powerful of its class so number 2 seems fitting for most cases at least. I would say in paladin department you are number 1 all the others maybe not so
@@fabioruiz4899 the ones i think deserve the number at the spot considering the moment is : Dk, warrior (odyn confirms it, he choosed you because you are the strongest), rogue?(its what looks like anyway), monk (for obvious reasons), priest (maybe? if yes its because of the weapon, Velen is by sure more powerfull in default), Demon hunter (illidan is the strongest but he is gone, and you remains as the strongest afterwards), warlock (we are the strongest lock of the good guys team, but we are not even close in the evil guys team like guldan or killjaeden), Paladin (any true contestent to this is Turalyon...and the other god tier paladins are all dead by now) The ones that are not the strongest, just good overall: Mage (Jaina bullshit, khadgar, mediv, we´re not even close) , Druid (Malfurion is way stronger), Shaman (I dont think the shaman player is that powerfull honestly), Hunter (skillfull and leader confirmed, the strongest? no clues to that)
@@miramalverick2767 @Fabio Ruiz DK I would put the player as #2/1. Arthas had the helm and Frostmourne but the player also has Frostmourne and does not need to use the Helm to do the same things Arthas did. I would have Teron up there as #1 if not #2 only behind the player. Teron was still able to use all his previously known abilities in life as well as his new found ones in death. He had access to void/fel/elemental/Necromatic powers now as a DK. As for Priest I would put Velen/Anduin at the top then the player. Velen may slip down to #3 simply because of the Thrall affect. Recently he has been doubting himself and we know that with the light your powers are based on faith and being worthy. Look at what Anduin did at the battle for Under city. He performed the only mass res in lore and that itself is a giant feat. Mage I agree, there are numerous other mages that are far stronger than the player. Druid: Agreed. Malfurion is just light years ahead of anyone at this point. Shaman: Tough to decide since shamans are really not that known for their strength's. Hunter? Well now we start to go down the rabbit hole with classes like Hunters/Warriors/rogue/monks etc who are strong but in the end really can not do much against the magic users.
Please have a video on the most powerful elves. Top 10 most powerful elves, priestess Tyrande and High Ranger General Sylvanas. And include the tragic parts to their roles now. Sylvanas story still makes me feel her pain and why she is who she is.
LOVED the hint of weariness in Falric's voicework back in the day, when talking about who all his master had killed. Those two, Tyrannus... may not have been the most powerful, but were definitely memorable, that's for sure!!!
I would say that Trag Highmountain is a pretty underrated Death Knight. He got raised into undeath by the Orb of Ner'zhul, fought off Arthas' whispers, fought Thrall (although Thrall could have killed him if he wanted to), struck a massive blow against Arthas himself before being launched from the top of Icecrown Citadel and surviving. Not the strongest Death Knight out there, not the most well known one, either, but a noteworthy one none the less.
Agreed. While it wasn't a "massive blow" against Arthas, it was still shocking that he manage to hurt him. I was really disapoited his story wasn't developed in legion
What I learned from this video is that if you're a follower of the light (priest paladin) your chances of becoming a death knight are greatly improved :)
Yeh no one ever said otherwise... Bolvar doesn't have Frostmourne. Ner'zhul poured a lot of strength into the blade. He doesn't have anywhere near the knowledge, experience or will to use the crown of domination to its full potential. Arthas dominated the soul of Ner'Zhul after putting on the crown and going into "hybernation" while the 2 along with Arthas' consciousness battled it out for superiority. That in itself is insanely impressive and says a lot about his willpower, as well as his ego and what an ass he can be, but nonetheless, powerfull shit.
@@SirMcAwesome Thousands of people complained when Sylvanas beat Bolvar. "Whaaa! How can she beat the Lich King? They turned the Lich King into a bitch! Whah whah whah!" For some reason everything seems to think that having the title automatically makes you as powerful as the next guy.
@@Saimeren well, at that point most people did not yet realise that sylvannas was empowered and a lot more powerful than everyone believed. And one way or another, Arthas Lich king was god like, bolvar may have been levels below in comparison but he was still a Lich king and pretty powerful. It just stang to see such an iconic figure as the Lich king be so easily dominated.
Since Arthas is no longer in current lore i'd put Darion at the top of the list followed by Bolvar. All Bolvar has really done is keep the undead in check while wearing the helm. Darion is far more experienced as a DK
Considering purely power wielded than yes Arthas but if u consider everything than Bolvar is no.1. Soo this will regard some small spoilers for shadowlands. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In weapon combat they would be equals but in dk magic arthas will win cause he is empowered by Jailer on other hand he doesn't have control over it Arthas is merely Jailers puppet if u consider that Bolvar in comparison was able to hold Jailer at bay and still have some of that power and his free will well than Bolvar is no1. Now some may say Azeroth was not destroy by Scourge cause part of Arthas was holding it at bay which is valid point but ultimately he lost and Scourge attacked while Bolvar was constantly battling Jailer and kept his sanity altogether + kept Scourge from rampaging. As Sylvanis says: "Usurper sits on a frozen throne."
10. It could be argued that Arthas raised them for their loyalty and not necessarily for their powers. True once you are raised as a DK you are under the LK command and have to obey but we have seen later on that you can break free from deaths grasp. Look at the Forsaken as well as the numerous DK's created during Bolvar's reign as LK. 7. Teron was really more than a DK. Sure he was the first but he was not your typical DK that you see today. Today you have DK's that have their abilities augmented from what they were in their mortal state. Teron still used all his abilities from when he was a alive Fel/Shadow/Elemental and now a DK with necromatic powers. He was created by Gul'dan and not Arthas/Kel'thuzad. He was never a slave to any master like the other DK's were that eventually broke free of the LK's power. I would have put him as #1. 2. Not sure you can really claim Bolvar as a DK since he never died and is not dead. Serving Arthas is not a requisite to being a DK as we can see with the original Four Horsemen who were created by Kel'thuzad and Teron who was created by Gul'dan. What powers does Bolvar have without the helm though? If anything he should still retain his holy powers but what necromatic powers does he possess? 1. Arthas never used any of his paladin powers as a DK which is interesting since we have seen other DK's still able to wield the light as a DK. I thought Arthas was not as powerful as he could have been when he defeated Illidan. He was still weak and had not yet been encased in the block of ice to reach his true potential. If you are going to claim Illidan was not as strong then you have to also point out the fact that Arthas was not at his true LK form either. Being the Lich King means you are the leader of the DK's.
I think it was too early still to judge Bolvar´s power level, just because he survived the blight he only did it by being burned with Alexxtrasas magic fire (or whatever it was) that kept him alive.
I thought the green smoke killed and reanimated him but his corpse was burned before undeath. So the dragon fire was magically fused into his dead flesh and blood before undeath was activated. AshenOne be sure to give me more souls.
Ikr, it's almost like the youtube equivalent of prostitution, only here the only person getting off is the asshole who made raid. I mean times are tough I get it, but this is just a real shitty product to help push on people. Trying to push this game with these scripted and lying ads is basically peddling a steaming shit sandwich to you and pretending it's a fucking ice cream sundae.
None of the Horseman Death Knights participated in the Battle for the Broken Shore, as they were all raised during the Death Knight Order Hall Campaign, which happened after that battle.
The Scourge was more of a threat than Sargeras. Sure Sargeras is a colossal Titan with cosmic abilities but we have powers to counter that. As is made apparent. What we can't repel is countless bodies of resurrected allies relentlessly attacking.
i dont want to see him. his story ended and it was great. look at how every other ressurrection has gone: illidan: awful shitshow, sylvanas.......i dont even know what to say to how awful she became after wotlk..not even a character anymore, just jerkoff material for her writers
Well yes thats what i am afraid of, they may ruin his story too im just sucker for happy endings and would like to see him and jaina. Blizz never really gave up on Arthas story he has been mentioned in every expansion and his story was getting more to the point of him coming back we will see whats going to happen in SL
You have no clue about how he gained that axe do you? He was called Broxigar the Red way before he was bestowed the fortified axe forged by Malfurion by guidance of Cenarius, because he was that good. You should read up, do you even know that his statue is displayed in Darnassus? He literally saved the whole of Azeroth by jumping into the portal through which Sargeras was suposed to enter into Azeroth and making a mountain of demon corpses forcing Sargeras to fight him and becoming the first mortal being to ever wound a Titan... If he was a tool then everyone else is a fucking baby pacifier.
11:36 Darion stepped down as the Highlord of the Ebon Blade? When did that happen? I don't remember that. He still has his Highlord title. The Death Lord still reports to him. He still leads the armies of the Ebon Blade into both Icecrown and the Shadowlands.. Just because he's the leader of the Four Horsemen doesn't mean he still isn't the leader of the entire company.
Some correction here, Arthas was not equal to Illidan, it says in the book once Illidan uses metamorphosis he easily overpowers and dominates Arthas, only reason Arthas won was that Illidan became a cocky bastard, while i think that LK Arthas is more powerful than Illidan i can say without a doubt that DK Arthas doesn't have a chance against him power wise, as for Bolvar, can we consider him DK? if i remember correctly he never died, the flames of alexstrasza kept him alive
What book is this? If Illidan's cockyness kept him from beating Arthas then that is a weakness exploited by Arthas and that victory is still counted in my book. So Illidan let himself lose to Arthas then went mad over this loss and hid in the black temple?
@@silverspear21 Rise of the lich king book, don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming Arthas didn't earn his victory , what I'm saying is power wise they where not equal
@@asasdsaasda If that was the case then why did Illidan not use his powers? He had already failed Kil'Jaeden and he was given an ultimatum and could not afford to fail him again. So why did he opt not to use his powers and instead fail KJ to the point where he has to run back to the Black Temple and hide and go mad?
@@silverspear21 What are you talking about? he did use his powers, he used his metamorphosis and overpower Arthas, he starts to become cocky, Arthas found a weakness and he took the chance
@@deltarek1534 yea for me he is excellent character. Much better than rest in story imo. Esp. in wotlk but he had a moment also in cataclysm and during legion he atacked undercity to rescue Kotira. And also he is one of first dual wield DKs 😁
well with Alexandros, he still had the power of the Light even as a Death Knight. so that should kinda reduce his rank as a Death Knight cause, well, no Death Kight's use holy magic edit: i have been searching for the music at 11:00 for too long now and I cannot find it. and the fact that i know i've heard it before and i still cannot find it frustrates me immensely edit 2: I have found the music and feel like a moron for not realizing it is from the WoW soundtrack.
Top 10 hunters would be a cool video. for being one of the most popular classes I've always felt they lacked allot of cool representation and maybe you could prove me wrong
Where do you think the player character would fall? As death Lord and wielder of powerful weapons such as the dismantled pieces of frostmorne. I feel like the player DK would fall near the 4th spot, or on equal footing with lord Darion.
Bruh back in Legion DK player was the only DK able to wield frostmourne also we are Deathlord the second rank after Highlord which is Bolvar. Also even Arthas stated we are his weapon doom and he gaved us immortality so Arthas made stronger than Darion from start that why we were the only DK capable to weild the swords and even get saluted by others DK-s. So we are stronger than Darion and maybe than Bolvar
No mention of the Death Lord? The one who raised the new horsemen, survived the same battles as Mograine, defeated Sargeras, Argus, Sylvanis and the Jailer?
Because plenty of people prefer the looks of the original. Reforged to me looks really bad. Yeah they are detailed models, but they do not fit in with the warcraft looks.
If Teron Gorefiend isn't at the top of this list...then I disagree with the list. Though I will say the Wacraft 2 death knights or "first generation death knights" were more squishy casters than heavy warrior/necromancers. I also never liked Warlords of Draenor retconning Gorefiends name to "Teron'gor" it was dumb. Just my take.
Sylvanas Windrunner i think she is a death knight some people say banshee but where is the difference . Death Knights have her soul and a death body Sylvanas have a death body and her soul is a ghost in a death body .Souls are spirits/ghosts so there is no difference and she is the strongest now ^^
Taken that Turalyon himself with his OP Light connection nearly died in that fight to Gorefiend and original DKs are just incredibly weak to Light as they are basically just physically average zombies with OP magics and he still has his wlock powers and dKs powers Lastly member of the royal apothecary society descriped him as such "Gorefiend? T... Teron Gorefiend? But... How? How could Gorefiend be here? This is impossible! The legend of Teron Gorefiend is one that causes even the Forsaken to tremble in fear." When forsaken are knows as pratically fearless. Overall Gorefiend should as such higher seeing how big of a threat a weak dk called ragnok caused to an adult blue dragon and Jordan mace.
Im kinda dissapointed that the "Deathlord" AKA us the player isnt mentioned as techincally speaking we do excist, not as much as a "character defined" but a Character/player, we are adressed within the game and at the same time are extremely strong, having got our own "artifact" that its almost as powerful as frostmourn and in all seriousness...the deathlord its the current active leader of the ebon hold only behind bolvar. Still overall great list definitly
Umm. Bolvar isn't a Death Knight dude.. He's not even dead. He just put on the helm and gained the powers of the Lich King. He was then intertwined with the Shadowlands, but since taking off the helm hasn't shown any Death Knight powers.. Because he's not one.
Why isn't the player on this list, the confirmed leader of the Knights of the Ebon Blade and a character strong enough to raise people into the four horseman.
Hey, i just wanna have a fun chat. I love WOWs world and really wanna bounce ideas of some y'all. For starters I've never seen a bigger magic based world. So question: what your favorite kind of magic?
Bolvar is not a Death Knight. He was never raised from the dead and the flames of life actually keep him from dying. That is the reason the Jailer couldn't influence him through the Helm of Domination.
By that logic Arthas never died before becoming a DK right? It was only later on after being a DK and the LK that he pulled his heart out etc right? I do agree though that Bolvar was never a DK and that he was simply just a stand in wearing the helm to control the scourge or better yet not control but hold back. Bolvar only really showed one ability as a DK and that was raise other DK's but that again was due to the helm.
My boy Thassarian didn't made to the list? What the hell! You can add him by replacing Alexandros, yes he was powerful fighter but just to get slain by his son, and didn't had much feat to prove/scale his power level as DK. Hell, why don't just replace him with Sir Zeliek if we are agree that the fourhorseman is a DK, since he can wield the light as DK, meaning that there's no trade off in power from paladin to DK. As a note, Thassarian have good feat, he dominate a lich and a san'layn in Borean Tundra and survived the battle of the Light Hope's Chapel.

So basically Arthas dropped his hammer, picked up frostmourne and defeated Illidan without even leveling up his two handed sword skill?
Doesn't get more OP than that.
Well he killed thousands himself personally well before defeating Illidan with Frostmourne so I think his 2H sword skill was probably maxed by then
I half imagine he had plenty of training I. Swordsmanship before Warcraft 3
Humans also have +5 for sword spec
The bond he has with that blade is the greatest bond between a person and a weapon in the entire lore.
The blade was forged so he could wield it, it was waiting for him. His soul is in that blade. Illidan bragged about how
he found his blades 10 000 years ago, yet thats nothing compared to Arthas and Frostmourne. He is Frostmourne and
Frostmourne is him. He cant be bested in battle, it was only thanks to Deus ex machina that he died. Imo, had it been realistic he could have beaten
everyone. Sargaras? He would be a joke. Dreadlords can come back to life in the twisted nether? Not if their souls get enslaved. Old gods? Same.
Dreadlords put a limiter on Frostmourne out of fear of its power. Had Arthas had the time to remove it, oh boy. Sargaras and N'Zoth would have became deathknights.
Maybe Frostmourne has a +300 two-handed sword skill on equip lol

@Hyperion Arthas is the reason knight of ebon blade exists in the first place.
Ebon hold took it vengeance durning WOTLK whit the argent crusade they form the ashen'verdict that lead the offensive over the citadell.
I love the captions.

Hahaha :D
Ice crown cereal 😂
Screw autusm. In Shadowlands I’ll be comin’ in HOT as a Blood DK with Down Syndrome of the lowest functioning kind! “Come at bro! DURRRR”
What's Doron's nationality?
The commentary on Arthas was great lol
It is interesting how the most powerful paladins made the best dk-s
Well that was the DK fantasy till Warcraft 3 i guess, they were even introduced as a Darker version or rather a counterpart to the Paladin, making one abandon holy and embrace the Unholy energies.
The brightest lights cast the darkest shadows.
That was actually a goal of Arthas as the Lich King. He wanted to have Deathknights that could wield the light. But he was only successful in one, yet that one also wasn't as malicious as Arthas wanted. He still had compassion and cared for the living even if he was a member of the Four Horseman. I'm talking of course about Sir Zeliek in Naxxramas.
@@HavocHounds1988 Arthas never created Zeliek though that was Kel'thuzad but I get what you are saying. I actually hoped in Wrath that when we created a DK we had to have a paladin to a certain level and then that Paladin would turn into a DK through some questing etc.
It makes sense to me that today's DK's would be former paladin's.
As soimeone that played a DK for a decade, I feel the correct list is the following. Admittedly 6-8 are pretty even and could be interchangeable, rest have a fair bit of lore supporting said claim.
1. Arthas Menathil
2. Bolvar Fordragon
3. Darian Morgraine
4. Teron Gorefiend
5. Baron Rivendare
6. General Nazgrim
7. Sally Whitemane
8. Thoras Trollbane
9. Thassarian
10. Koltira Deathweave
Hell yeah my Boy Teron Gorefiend getting some much needed love!
I always wished we had some transmog that made us look like Shadow Council Dk's
@@WeedStriker same here man, it's been a wish of mine since vanilla, I guess the courupters raiment will have to do, Its my favorite armor set in wow currently.
Hey, i just wanna have a fun chat.
I love WOWs world and really wanna bounce ideas of some y'all.
For starters I've never seen a bigger magic based world. So question: what your favorite kind of magic?
@@simpleman3898 Favorite kind in wow? Arcane/Fel. Arcane probably my favorite simply because of its potential. We have seen arcane be able to revert the affects of Fel/Void etc and we have seen Arcane evolve creatures into superior beings. Arcane is also the magic of order.
@@silverspear21 woooo arcane ya it has the most things you can do.
I was so excited when we brought Nazgrim back. He was one of my favorite characters. I am a huge fan of the Orcs and lore. And I really loved that he was raised as such a strong knight. I even took screenshots of his crazy feats in the campaign lol.
Bolvar should not be included in this ranking. The guy was sitting on the frosty toilet all the time and guarded the remains of the powerful force that was the Scourge
. Why didn't you mention Thassarian or Koltira ? These two guys are much more better Death Knights than bolvar.
Better doesn’t mean stronger.
and Bolvar The Litch King is their master and theyre not stronger then their master.
@@pixxiv6094 bolvar wasn't their master they just worked with him to defeat Legion
Dude just because he spent a respectable amount of time as a Lich king ,he was ''even theoritically'' both the greatest death knight and necromancer on Azeroth at that time. What are you talking about?! Those years on that frosty toilet were enough to consider him the 2nd greatest.
This guy absolutely should be included. Helm of domination was created by jailer to have and agent on Azeroth that would conquer it. Its name doesn't mean that the wielder is dominating. It means that the helm dominates anyone who wear it to do jailer's bidding. While Arthas wasn't able to resist its influence, Bolvar remained strong willed all this time, which speaks volume how strong he really was. When he fought Sylvanas he probably had to fight on two fronts, as Sylvanas had portion of power of jailer (being stronger that titan) and Bolvar had to resist jailer during the fight, as he is the master of helm. It was probably even harded when he had to rely on his power(we can see it when his fire turns blue in the cinematic). I am so tired of people who doesn't konw anything about the story complaining "hurr durr lich king a bitch!!!1". Judge the expansion when you get to know it.
Number 2 should be the DK Player because he/she has the plot armor, not even the Jailer can compite with that and that's why the "Four horsemen" will work this time.
P.S. Forget what I just said if the DK Player is a Gnome a Pandaren or another Vermin race.
I like the fact that we defeated Arthas only by sheer luck.. Had the Light not intervened we would've all been his Death Knights
And the cloth wearers would be his necromancers, and rangers(called hunters for some reason in WoW) would be his dark rangers
I suspect during Shadowlands we will find that it was not just Tirion calling to the light. I think it was Arthas Menethil himself too who did so.
@@Eucep I don't think so, the Paladin Arthas Menethil was barely able to keep the Lich King from not murdering Jaina in the Halls of Reflexion. He also killed the Players and was about to raise them when Tirion was saved by the Light.
U mean , only by pLoT ArMoR , cuz we r the players so ye...
@@Eucep That's actually a pretty interesting theory. If it was just Tirion calling the Light's intervention, he would have still been alive to date. Because we all know what happened when he called the Light again during his last fight. I always equate Arthas with Hal Jordan more than Anakin Skywalker. And this theory would add quite a lot to that comparison. Its also one of the reasons why I still hope we get a "Rebirth" type storyline for him in the future, no matter how "cheap" or "generic" that would sound to others.
I swear I expected one of these to be “the player character”
well, if we go full-canon he should have been in top 3, or stright up Number One if he only counted Death Knights, and not 2 lich kings.
@@AtilonWoW he was not. He was getting weaker and weaker, because Illidan made some fuckery, whitch hurt Ner'zul. And even at his prime, he was somewhat 2x stronger than a officer DKs in a NerZul army. Mind this - NerZuls DKs (basically 2nd gen, howether few consider em 3rd gen), are considered WEAKEST of DKs, owerpowered both by likes of Teron (1st gen), and DK of Lich King when he was amalgamation of NerZul and arthas, AND by DK ressurected by PC. Also, his fight w Illidan - basically his ONLY feat of strenght, cause all his other victories - both as Palladin and DK he achieved with an army, and not solo, and of course he had only a bit squadron as a Prince of lordaeron, but as a DK he had army so big its pale remains literally haunt Quel talas to this day. So, idk how arthas as a DK was strong.
Lei Shen i should mention. He is a mortal being (well, i have to admit - Mogu in base form is stronger than a human in such), and as such he was stated by blizzard to be STRONGER whan a Lich king (Whey stated that LKs strongest at controlling minions, so if 2 armys would clash - scourge would definetely win, howether if LK Arthas ever to fight Lei Shen 1 on 1, Arthas would be stomped). And it was a LK arthas with all might of the helm, which i remind you - is direct conduct to all the power of the real of the death. So if LK Arthas wasnt that powerfull, what to say about his DK form?
@@AtilonWoW He owerwhelmed antonidas with an army of scourge and magical constructs, howether i pretty sure he would win 1v1 with him tho, but DKs at that time were basically counters to magick due to undead by their side, and an AMS. But despite Arthas would win 1v1 with Antonidas i still think he was far stronger. Its just didnt shown in WC3, but in books and other lore sources Antonidas... well, not an OP, but a rather strong mage. One of the strongest non-special ones (As keeper or guardian for example). While he did defeat Uther with only ghouls and catapults, it was a freakton of undead and a siege weapons. And Uther, unlike other Paladins fought solo (for... reasons?). So... Yeah. Also, yes, he 1v1nd Illidan, and its a good feat of powerscaling, BUT - despite LK being weak, Arthas got significant bufs from being near to him - oth he, and his blade. So yeah, while Arthas basically had +1-1 while fighting Illidan, i think it was just either dumb luck, or something else, cause even in canon Illidan is far stronger at that point (wasnt shown in WC3 but whown very clearly in WOW and Books), and to be honest be being fencer IRL - 2 handed weapon (especially frostmourne witch is VERY heawy for its lenght cause of giant fullmetal guard) has significant disadvantage against 2 weapons. I guess saving grace of arthas was the fact that Frostmourne was far stronger than enchanted warglaves Illidan had at this point. At this point you could think i just hate Arthas. No. Its actually my favorite character in the whole universe. And its the reason i studied him and his lore so much
@@DarkBlackGod14 Illidan had a upper hand almost whole combat, but then he started showing off, like those flying... being overconfident gets him defeated. Dont know where you had read that, but i dont think that someone who stolen powers from titanic watcher could be stronger than Lich King.
I always get emotional when I think about Dranosh. I still think one of the greatest moments of WoW was was when Varian let Saurfang collect the body of his Son. It was the first time a video game made me cry.
" deaths knights are a relatively new addtion "
Warcraft 2 and 3 Deathknights: Are we a fucking joke to you?
The Legion-era player Death Knight should probably be on this list. Commander over the Legion-era Four Horsemen, fought through an army of paladins, massacred hundreds of demons, battled across a frozen island full of hostile undead on their own, (possibly) slaughtered a ton of red dragonkin single-handed, (maybe) fought a Titan, and a ton of other things. Rank 4 or 5, I'd say.
idk... its my opinion but, i do really think we qualify as the number 1 most powerfull death knight.
We would be bested only by the lich king arthas himself, but his death knight previous state it would probably lose, thats how much of a powerhouse the deathlord is... maybe just maybe we would lost agaisnt lich king bolvar in a 1v1 combat, but im not really sure.
@@miramalverick2767 technically in legion your character is the most powerful of its class so number 2 seems fitting for most cases at least. I would say in paladin department you are number 1 all the others maybe not so
@@fabioruiz4899 the ones i think deserve the number at the spot considering the moment is : Dk, warrior (odyn confirms it, he choosed you because you are the strongest), rogue?(its what looks like anyway), monk (for obvious reasons), priest (maybe? if yes its because of the weapon, Velen is by sure more powerfull in default), Demon hunter (illidan is the strongest but he is gone, and you remains as the strongest afterwards), warlock (we are the strongest lock of the good guys team, but we are not even close in the evil guys team like guldan or killjaeden), Paladin (any true contestent to this is Turalyon...and the other god tier paladins are all dead by now)
The ones that are not the strongest, just good overall: Mage (Jaina bullshit, khadgar, mediv, we´re not even close) , Druid (Malfurion is way stronger), Shaman (I dont think the shaman player is that powerfull honestly), Hunter (skillfull and leader confirmed, the strongest? no clues to that)
@@miramalverick2767 @Fabio Ruiz DK I would put the player as #2/1. Arthas had the helm and Frostmourne but the player also has Frostmourne and does not need to use the Helm to do the same things Arthas did. I would have Teron up there as #1 if not #2 only behind the player. Teron was still able to use all his previously known abilities in life as well as his new found ones in death. He had access to void/fel/elemental/Necromatic powers now as a DK.
As for Priest I would put Velen/Anduin at the top then the player. Velen may slip down to #3 simply because of the Thrall affect. Recently he has been doubting himself and we know that with the light your powers are based on faith and being worthy. Look at what Anduin did at the battle for Under city. He performed the only mass res in lore and that itself is a giant feat.
Mage I agree, there are numerous other mages that are far stronger than the player. Druid: Agreed. Malfurion is just light years ahead of anyone at this point. Shaman: Tough to decide since shamans are really not that known for their strength's. Hunter? Well now we start to go down the rabbit hole with classes like Hunters/Warriors/rogue/monks etc who are strong but in the end really can not do much against the magic users.
You forgot to mention that he killed Uther, an insanely strong and skilled Paladin.
Please have a video on the most powerful elves. Top 10 most powerful elves, priestess Tyrande and High Ranger General Sylvanas. And include the tragic parts to their roles now. Sylvanas story still makes me feel her pain and why she is who she is.
You forgot the greatest death knight of all
Deathlord iceyarthass from the realm of Dalaran
No no it was Deathlord Holdmyspear. I swear..
and on the realm of Chamber of Aspects EU it would be Deathlord Ønar
No, you mean Deathlord Bustinganut
10:25 I mean, there are worse ways to die, Dying fighting the Lich king is pretty damn glorious.
I like to see Falric and Marwyn as the two death knights who helped Arthas when he killed his father
LOVED the hint of weariness in Falric's voicework back in the day, when talking about who all his master had killed. Those two, Tyrannus... may not have been the most powerful, but were definitely memorable, that's for sure!!!
I would say that Trag Highmountain is a pretty underrated Death Knight. He got raised into undeath by the Orb of Ner'zhul, fought off Arthas' whispers, fought Thrall (although Thrall could have killed him if he wanted to), struck a massive blow against Arthas himself before being launched from the top of Icecrown Citadel and surviving. Not the strongest Death Knight out there, not the most well known one, either, but a noteworthy one none the less.
Agreed. While it wasn't a "massive blow" against Arthas, it was still shocking that he manage to hurt him. I was really disapoited his story wasn't developed in legion
What I learned from this video is that if you're a follower of the light (priest paladin) your chances of becoming a death knight are greatly improved :)
12:20 "Never really as powerful as Arthas"?
Never even close. Bolvar is a gnat compared to Arthas' true strength and power.
Yeh no one ever said otherwise... Bolvar doesn't have Frostmourne. Ner'zhul poured a lot of strength into the blade. He doesn't have anywhere near the knowledge, experience or will to use the crown of domination to its full potential. Arthas dominated the soul of Ner'Zhul after putting on the crown and going into "hybernation" while the 2 along with Arthas' consciousness battled it out for superiority. That in itself is insanely impressive and says a lot about his willpower, as well as his ego and what an ass he can be, but nonetheless, powerfull shit.
@@SirMcAwesome Thousands of people complained when Sylvanas beat Bolvar.
"Whaaa! How can she beat the Lich King? They turned the Lich King into a bitch! Whah whah whah!"
For some reason everything seems to think that having the title automatically makes you as powerful as the next guy.
@@Saimeren well, at that point most people did not yet realise that sylvannas was empowered and a lot more powerful than everyone believed. And one way or another, Arthas Lich king was god like, bolvar may have been levels below in comparison but he was still a Lich king and pretty powerful. It just stang to see such an iconic figure as the Lich king be so easily dominated.
@@SirMcAwesome I belive Arthas soul Will fix this in the shadowlands :)
Meannwhile Thassarian and Koltira be sipping on that dark iron ale looking at this video
Since Arthas is no longer in current lore i'd put Darion at the top of the list followed by Bolvar. All Bolvar has really done is keep the undead in check while wearing the helm. Darion is far more experienced as a DK
Considering purely power wielded than yes Arthas but if u consider everything than Bolvar is no.1. Soo this will regard some small spoilers for shadowlands.

In weapon combat they would be equals but in dk magic arthas will win cause he is empowered by Jailer on other hand he doesn't have control over it Arthas is merely Jailers puppet if u consider that Bolvar in comparison was able to hold Jailer at bay and still have some of that power and his free will well than Bolvar is no1. Now some may say Azeroth was not destroy by Scourge cause part of Arthas was holding it at bay which is valid point but ultimately he lost and Scourge attacked while Bolvar was constantly battling Jailer and kept his sanity altogether + kept Scourge from rampaging. As Sylvanis says: "Usurper sits on a frozen throne."
Serving the only warchief that had any real balls left in the horde sounds like a pretty badass hill to die on.0
Is fun to see this video full of character that should had been important in Shadowlands now, years later, with the grift of knowledge.
10. It could be argued that Arthas raised them for their loyalty and not necessarily for their powers. True once you are raised as a DK you are under the LK command and have to obey but we have seen later on that you can break free from deaths grasp. Look at the Forsaken as well as the numerous DK's created during Bolvar's reign as LK.
7. Teron was really more than a DK. Sure he was the first but he was not your typical DK that you see today. Today you have DK's that have their abilities augmented from what they were in their mortal state. Teron still used all his abilities from when he was a alive Fel/Shadow/Elemental and now a DK with necromatic powers. He was created by Gul'dan and not Arthas/Kel'thuzad. He was never a slave to any master like the other DK's were that eventually broke free of the LK's power. I would have put him as #1.
2. Not sure you can really claim Bolvar as a DK since he never died and is not dead. Serving Arthas is not a requisite to being a DK as we can see with the original Four Horsemen who were created by Kel'thuzad and Teron who was created by Gul'dan. What powers does Bolvar have without the helm though? If anything he should still retain his holy powers but what necromatic powers does he possess?
1. Arthas never used any of his paladin powers as a DK which is interesting since we have seen other DK's still able to wield the light as a DK. I thought Arthas was not as powerful as he could have been when he defeated Illidan. He was still weak and had not yet been encased in the block of ice to reach his true potential. If you are going to claim Illidan was not as strong then you have to also point out the fact that Arthas was not at his true LK form either. Being the Lich King means you are the leader of the DK's.
I think it was too early still to judge Bolvar´s power level, just because he survived the blight he only did it by being burned with Alexxtrasas magic fire (or whatever it was) that kept him alive.
I thought the green smoke killed and reanimated him but his corpse was burned before undeath. So the dragon fire was magically fused into his dead flesh and blood before undeath was activated. AshenOne be sure to give me more souls.
I want dragons to vomit magic fire on my corpse before Sylvanas wakes me up. I must become the Unkindled Forsaken.
Only problem is there must be a forsaken who always screams (Give me back my balls!!!!!!!!!!)and that would probably be me.
Just changed my main to a DK so this was conveniently on theme for me lol. Thanks for the vid!

Doron: "Number 1 Arthas Menethil"
Scratorious: "Hold my beer"
Who?
Some player character. No relevance
None of the Horseman Death Knights participated in the Battle for the Broken Shore, as they were all raised during the Death Knight Order Hall Campaign, which happened after that battle.
You should remember. They fought in Broken isles during Tomb of Sargeras patch.
Undeath really likes Paladins
The Scourge was more of a threat than Sargeras. Sure Sargeras is a colossal Titan with cosmic abilities but we have powers to counter that. As is made apparent. What we can't repel is countless bodies of resurrected allies relentlessly attacking.
What are the chances that I got a wow free trail subscription and made a death Knight orc just before this video was made.
The player character is the current greatest death knight goddamn it!
So excited to see what are they gonna do with Arthas, I would actually love to see him and jaina together, sucker for happy endings
i dont want to see him. his story ended and it was great. look at how every other ressurrection has gone: illidan: awful shitshow, sylvanas.......i dont even know what to say to how awful she became after wotlk..not even a character anymore, just jerkoff material for her writers
Well yes thats what i am afraid of, they may ruin his story too im just sucker for happy endings and would like to see him and jaina. Blizz never really gave up on Arthas story he has been mentioned in every expansion and his story was getting more to the point of him coming back we will see whats going to happen in SL
ner zul shoulda been here i mean anrthas and nerzul are same dudes but ner zul was such a badass
I wasn't sure where Bolvar would be placed. I don't think he's particularly powerful. He mostly just keeps the scourge under control.
9:27 The only thing that made Broxx special was the DRUID axe that wielded him. Broxx was just a tool. The axe was the one doing all the work.
You have no clue about how he gained that axe do you? He was called Broxigar the Red way before he was bestowed the fortified axe forged by Malfurion by guidance of Cenarius, because he was that good. You should read up, do you even know that his statue is displayed in Darnassus? He literally saved the whole of Azeroth by jumping into the portal through which Sargeras was suposed to enter into Azeroth and making a mountain of demon corpses forcing Sargeras to fight him and becoming the first mortal being to ever wound a Titan... If he was a tool then everyone else is a fucking baby pacifier.
11:36 Darion stepped down as the Highlord of the Ebon Blade? When did that happen? I don't remember that.
He still has his Highlord title. The Death Lord still reports to him. He still leads the armies of the Ebon Blade into both Icecrown and the Shadowlands..
Just because he's the leader of the Four Horsemen doesn't mean he still isn't the leader of the entire company.
Bolvar is the new highlord of the ebon blade since he lost the helm
Are you speculating that, or do you have an actual source? Is there a quest that I missed in the beta that actually explains this?
@@Saimeren I’m pretty sure it’s indicated in Icecrown before we enter the shadowlands that Darion Steps down as Highlord and Bolvar takes over
Some correction here, Arthas was not equal to Illidan, it says in the book once Illidan uses metamorphosis he easily overpowers and dominates Arthas, only reason Arthas won was that Illidan became a cocky bastard, while i think that LK Arthas is more powerful than Illidan i can say without a doubt that DK Arthas doesn't have a chance against him power wise, as for Bolvar, can we consider him DK? if i remember correctly he never died, the flames of alexstrasza kept him alive
Yeah find that one difficult. Indeed he never was turned into a normal undead. But he still wields death knight powers.
What book is this? If Illidan's cockyness kept him from beating Arthas then that is a weakness exploited by Arthas and that victory is still counted in my book. So Illidan let himself lose to Arthas then went mad over this loss and hid in the black temple?
@@silverspear21 Rise of the lich king book, don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming Arthas didn't earn his victory , what I'm saying is power wise they where not equal
@@asasdsaasda If that was the case then why did Illidan not use his powers? He had already failed Kil'Jaeden and he was given an ultimatum and could not afford to fail him again. So why did he opt not to use his powers and instead fail KJ to the point where he has to run back to the Black Temple and hide and go mad?
@@silverspear21 What are you talking about? he did use his powers, he used his metamorphosis and overpower Arthas, he starts to become cocky, Arthas found a weakness and he took the chance
What about those like Thassarian or Kotira for example? 🙂 Imo Thassarian could be in top 10
I was waiting for him to be on the list man
@@deltarek1534 yea for me he is excellent character. Much better than rest in story imo. Esp. in wotlk but he had a moment also in cataclysm and during legion he atacked undercity to rescue Kotira. And also he is one of first dual wield DKs 😁
well with Alexandros, he still had the power of the Light even as a Death Knight. so that should kinda reduce his rank as a Death Knight cause, well, no Death Kight's use holy magic
edit: i have been searching for the music at 11:00 for too long now and I cannot find it. and the fact that i know i've heard it before and i still cannot find it frustrates me immensely
edit 2: I have found the music and feel like a moron for not realizing it is from the WoW soundtrack.
Top 10 hunters would be a cool video. for being one of the most popular classes I've always felt they lacked allot of cool representation and maybe you could prove me wrong
Forgot Lord Tyranus from Pit of Saron
Icecrown cereal. I’m liking the subtitels.
Where do you think the player character would fall? As death Lord and wielder of powerful weapons such as the dismantled pieces of frostmorne. I feel like the player DK would fall near the 4th spot, or on equal footing with lord Darion.
Feel like we are stronger than Darion in all honestly.
Bruh back in Legion DK player was the only DK able to wield frostmourne also we are Deathlord the second rank after Highlord which is Bolvar. Also even Arthas stated we are his weapon doom and he gaved us immortality so Arthas made stronger than Darion from start that why we were the only DK capable to weild the swords and even get saluted by others DK-s. So we are stronger than Darion and maybe than Bolvar
@@venomgaming2152 Well now that bolvar's helm of domination is broken in half we are for sure

Good video as always.
I am surprised none of these were named Hugedk. It seems to be a common name among death knights
Nothing is really concrete outside of the top 3 imo
Arthas > Bolvar > Deathlord (PC) > Four Horsemen in an uknown order > Who knows
Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much, appreciate it. :)
No mention of the Death Lord? The one who raised the new horsemen, survived the same battles as Mograine, defeated Sargeras, Argus, Sylvanis and the Jailer?
Thanks for video you listened on last top 10 for idea 🤩💯!
Noone expected Raidshadowlegends
Surprised Thassarian didn't make the list.
Everytime I see Sally I can't stop thinking of her Rule 34 photos or videos. I just... can't!
What cinematic is it from? 10:13
Might wanna dock bolvar down a bit. He lost to a hunter
i heard, that the two guards who were following arthas into the throne room of his father in the WC3 Endcutscene, were also Falric & Marwyn
Interesting 👀
They were
What about the player ? And the "Deathlord" title ? :(
Gore fiend returned during the sauromar raid where you kill illidan
a video on the top 10 strongest demon hunters?
Lol Doron not using Reforged footage
Because plenty of people prefer the looks of the original. Reforged to me looks really bad. Yeah they are detailed models, but they do not fit in with the warcraft looks.
Damn I just became a fan of Arthas
@Joaquin Reyes. He is kinda cool but my interest in Bolvar is growing stronger. Before i become undead i want dragons to vomit magic fire up my @$$.
Arthas has the biggest fan base in the game
dude, not gonna lie; but the raid: shadow legends commercials really bring down any believability you've got.
If Teron Gorefiend isn't at the top of this list...then I disagree with the list. Though I will say the Wacraft 2 death knights or "first generation death knights" were more squishy casters than heavy warrior/necromancers. I also never liked Warlords of Draenor retconning Gorefiends name to "Teron'gor" it was dumb. Just my take.
We knew Arthas was gonna be 1
There was no question
all thanks to Ner'zhul.
@@newfacepaula no all thanks to the jailer
you forgot to mention arthas also killed uther.
Sylvanas Windrunner i think she is a death knight some people say banshee but where is the difference . Death Knights have her soul and a death body Sylvanas have a death body and her soul is a ghost in a death body .Souls are spirits/ghosts so there is no difference and she is the strongest now ^^
Maybe I'm not paying attention but it feels like the there are 7 "four horsemen" or am I tripping?
they changed the first four horsemen... i guess because in tbc or in vainilla you kill the first ones
Where do you think the player character death Knight would be ranked if you placed them?
Between Darion and Bolvar I guess
Anybody else download raid to support our favorite lore guy?
Taken that Turalyon himself with his OP Light connection nearly died in that fight to Gorefiend and original DKs are just incredibly weak to Light as they are basically just physically average zombies with OP magics and he still has his wlock powers and dKs powers
Lastly member of the royal apothecary society descriped him as such "Gorefiend? T... Teron Gorefiend? But... How?
How could Gorefiend be here? This is impossible!
The legend of Teron Gorefiend is one that causes even the Forsaken to tremble in fear." When forsaken are knows as pratically fearless.
Overall Gorefiend should as such higher seeing how big of a threat a weak dk called ragnok caused to an adult blue dragon and Jordan mace.
Im kinda dissapointed that the "Deathlord" AKA us the player isnt mentioned as techincally speaking we do excist, not as much as a "character defined" but a Character/player, we are adressed within the game and at the same time are extremely strong, having got our own "artifact" that its almost as powerful as frostmourn and in all seriousness...the deathlord its the current active leader of the ebon hold only behind bolvar. Still overall great list definitly
You should do shamans next
Umm. Bolvar isn't a Death Knight dude.. He's not even dead. He just put on the helm and gained the powers of the Lich King. He was then intertwined with the Shadowlands, but since taking off the helm hasn't shown any Death Knight powers.. Because he's not one.
Why isn't the player on this list, the confirmed leader of the Knights of the Ebon Blade and a character strong enough to raise people into the four horseman.
Hey, i just wanna have a fun chat.
I love WOWs world and really wanna bounce ideas of some y'all.
For starters I've never seen a bigger magic based world. So question: what your favorite kind of magic?
12:11 turn your subtitles on holy shit my sides.
Bolvar is not a Death Knight. He was never raised from the dead and the flames of life actually keep him from dying. That is the reason the Jailer couldn't influence him through the Helm of Domination.
By that logic Arthas never died before becoming a DK right? It was only later on after being a DK and the LK that he pulled his heart out etc right? I do agree though that Bolvar was never a DK and that he was simply just a stand in wearing the helm to control the scourge or better yet not control but hold back. Bolvar only really showed one ability as a DK and that was raise other DK's but that again was due to the helm.
@@silverspear21 it is stated in game that Arthas was a Death Knight though so he was raised.
@@JFetch When and where and by whom was he raised? If Arthas was raised we never know who did it when or how.
@@silverspear21 It happened offscreen, but he is specifically called a Death Knight. Just because we didn't see it, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
@@JFetch Do we have any information about this off screen event or are you assuming it happened off screen?
My boy Thassarian didn't made to the list? What the hell! You can add him by replacing Alexandros, yes he was powerful fighter but just to get slain by his son, and didn't had much feat to prove/scale his power level as DK. Hell, why don't just replace him with Sir Zeliek if we are agree that the fourhorseman is a DK, since he can wield the light as DK, meaning that there's no trade off in power from paladin to DK. As a note, Thassarian have good feat, he dominate a lich and a san'layn in Borean Tundra and survived the battle of the Light Hope's Chapel.
Oh how disappointed we were.
So much promise wasted...
ARTIST MANITOBA! Rewatch with subtitles on and this will make more sense...
Nazgrim wasn't a part of the battle on the Broken Shore. Unless you mean the second time we assaulted it.
Ok so he was then . Didn’t say which time
I still wish we got pandaren Dks and walocks.
Also goblin monks because that was my main race.
This video just reminded me of those things lol.
tuskarr demon hunters doe
THAT EDGY looks until it took over by forsaken
