Who Is The Most Powerful Mage in Warcraft? 

Who do you guys this is the most powerful mage outside of the titans and the other god-like creatures? (Vote in the poll). Also, I'll get to picking the winner for the Gamivo giveaway and will be contacting him within the next few days.

Azshara was toying with us in the fight in the Eternal Palace. She was buying time to drain the power from the Heart of Azeroth to shatter the chains on N'Zoth's prison. She wasn't really focused on fighting us fully.

I think Azshara was naturally gifted to understand magic and that's why she was the best mage. It would take much more time for Jaina to examine and to start using the well of eternity as a primary source of magic because that's how humans approach magic in the first place. She would eventually die researching the well and just write books about it.

Jaina more powerful than Azshara? Jaina would have died if she hadn’t teleported out. Azshara not only wasn’t interested in fighting the players but she was focusing on the heart of Azeroth. Which the players were empowered by the heart and it made them very powerful That’s why they were able to defeat Azshara.

This video is a huge yikes. As one of the people responsible for writing much of the wowpedia articles for Azshara and Jaina, I find this to be a huge misinterpretation. How can you think Jaina is on the same level as Azshara when Jaina herself called Azshara the most powerful mage in Azeroth’s History. Also the fact it took Jaina, Lorthemar, Shandris, and Thalyssra plus the combined forces of the horde and alliance to fight her while her actual goals were to just drain our heart of Azeroth, not to kill us. Jaina even questioned why she didn’t kill us all immediately as we arrived. These are the reasons we could actually fight her.

Jaina with "her" power. uuhh... I guess. Tho Khadgar's skill in long-distance teleportation and ability to RIP PORTALS TO DIFFERENT TIMELINES should not be understated.

Queen Azshara with the well of eternity. Kael'thas Sunstrider with the Sunwell. Elisande with the Nightwell. Jaina Proudmoore with the focusing Iris. Khadgar with Atiesh Millhouse Manastorm with Millificent Millhouse............... My money is on the power couple.

The fact alone that azshara block jaina from teleporting says a lot.

Azshara was able to temporarily hold back the oceans from completely submerging her city after the Well of Eternity imploded, pretty good feat of strength imo

I respectfully disagree. Even after recent events I’d still say Azshara is the strongest mage. I would like to see a 1v1 with her and Jaina tho. 😦

I think Kaelthas would definitely be up there.. I think he was stronger than Khadgar

What about the migthy Milhouse manastorm?

The murloc casters are the more powerfull mages in Azeroth.

I'd really like to see a most powerful shaman video. It would be very interesting to see who could win between Thrall, Drek'Thar, Ner'Zhul (pre-Lich King, ofc), Nobundo and the others.

No Kel’Thuzad? He never had the strength of ley lines or the well of eternity and yet is the second most powerful necromancer in Azeroth, right hand of the lich king, now immortal and capable of studying forever. He’s pretty fuckin strong, not to mention he has the best voice actor ;)

Can’t be jaina because in game queen Azshara blocked jaina from teleporting out of nazjatar and jaina said she have never experienced anything like Azshara’s magic before

I think this video is just hidden appreciation post to Jaina. If you discredit Azshara for having Well of Eternity, you have to mention that Jaina needed Focusing Iris to destroy Orgrimmar. Also, Azshara fought against Jaina, Thalyssra and Champion of Azeroth at once, while trying to free an old god.

the guardians were not just a combination of random mages noo, they also had the powers of the previous guardian via atiesh, which is the second strongest mage staff there ever was ( other than aluneth ) guldan bowed before medivh WITHOUT knowing sargeras was there, DW was scared of medivh, and he also had secrets not even the kirin tor knew ( they sent kahdgar to him to learn these secrets .) he was the only BEING to ever , lorewise, defeat a blue dragon by magic , because they are practically immune to it. ( outside gameplay .) he appeared weaker because he kept fighting sargeras over control, and resisted him whenever sargeras wanted to do something bad such as killing the dragon, or hurting his mother. to really show you how strong he is, the avatar of sargeras is a bit weaker than ragnaros, and ragnaros himself required two of the strongest titan keepers to push him back ( and they only won because they were MADE to resist fire ). jaina took the power from lei'shen, who in turn, took it out of a depressed and weak titan keeper. that is VERY much less than what a guardian has dealt with. azhara, medivh, and agywen are all close to power, while literally everyone else is tiers below. another example. when medivh was surrounded by lothar and the others, he began to transform to sargeras HIMSELF. it didnt say ANYWHERE that it was the avatar. MEDIVH WAS FREAKING SUMMONING SARGERAS XD. i wont go into a debate if medivh is equal to the well of eternity but that is INSANE. medivh at the end of WC3 apparently, and do not cite me on this, went beyond the timeways and traveled the alternate realities, because it was shown in a novel that thrall met medivh while time travelling. meddivh knows time magic SOMEHOW too. he escaped death, his mother , at a horrible state, managed to ressurrect even though she only knows ARCANE not light magic. ( the only character to ever ressurrect that is not a light user ) he might come back in the shadowlands, but putting him as low as ( a combination of random mages ) and putting jaina highest is kinda a bad idea

I wonder if we should count illidan. He was a mage for a very long time, and considerably skilled in enchantments and rituals. Even as a demon hunter he was still a very powerful spellcaster.

Norgannon is the single most powerful Arcane magic user in all of Azeroth's universe. Aman'Thul would be second. Then you have beings who wield the Titan's power; we're talking Malygos, with Kalecgos coming in behind him. After that we have every single other blue dragon.. Ever.. Then we have the rest of the Titan Pantheon. Then we have the rest of the Dragon Aspects. Finally we get to the mortals. It's been stated by many characters many times, that Azshara is the most powerful mortal Mage, period. If you're strictly talking mortals, she's your girl. End of story. Next we have Archimonde. He stands above the Guardians, but below Azshara. After him, we have the Guardians or Tirisfal. Aegwynn being first, Medivh being second. Then it goes Kel'Thuzad (As a Lich, not a Human) Jaina Kael'Thas Khadgar Thalyssra Then every other Mage. I lump them all together because they don't matter. This includes Rhonin, Antonidas, Aethas Sunreaver, the player character, and any Red or Bronze drakes we see using Arcane magic. One honorable mention would have to go to Illidan. We was born with great power, and a great affinity for Arcane magic. He was a prodigy, and unfortunately his training was cut short and he chose to become a Demon Hunter. We can only speculate how far he could have gone if he had practiced his Arcane skills over those 10,000 years. I doubt he would be Azshara level, but he would definitely be above the Guardians of Tirisfal.

Did u heard about Vurtne?

I still believe that Azshara is way more powerful than Jaina, even without the well since other highborne also had access to its power but still they were inferior to Azshara in terms of power. As for the fact that we defeated her in a raid, Azshara was toying with the us players for she needed our heart of azeroth to power the console and open N'zoth's prison.

Most powerful priest? Calia, Alonsus, Tyrande, Velen, Anduin or Talanji?

Cant believe no one mentioned that undead mage in tirisfall that turned himself into a lich

Well measuring raw strength even with the well I will put my money on medhiv.For starters he is still around and who knows how terrifyingly strong.also his actions causes echoes something only a few of Azharas spells could.While Medhiv created some when he was having a party or watching a stage show unfold.Jaina is pathetic in this question.Even with the whole power of the focusing iris all she could do was summon a few sea elementals to serve her unwillingly.and trust me as impressive as a wave of elementals might seem subjecting elementals aren't that amazing of a feat compared to burning a dragon alive and making him your eternal slave in a few seconds. Aegewyn is a bet but she did loose to medhiv.even if it were her power .Medhiv is way better and jaina doesn't even hold a candle to him.And if we are taking jaina maybe consider some of the nightfallen who freaking manipulated time with a power source when compared to Jainas little tidal wave.

I keep hearing the “Jaina is powerful enough to destroy Orgrimmar by herself!” She isn’t. She could only do it by tapping into the focusing Iris, the same immensely powerful artifact that was used to destroy Theramor. By that logic, a random mage that once had possession of this artifact would sudden be considered just as powerful as her. Also, she doesn’t have it any longer.

I think my Blood Elf Mage, Levi, is the most powerful mage! LOL ... But seriously, if we were to look at it from a game perspective instead of a lore perspective, I feel like the Player Character might be the most powerful in the long run, but I'm not sure. Lore-wise, there certainly are a lot of awesome mages... I feel like it's hard to really pinpoint one as the most powerful.

I’m surprised Kael’thas wasn’t brought up.

Yikes, what kinda pointless video is this, it’s already been stated VERY RECENTLY that Azshara is the strongest mage on Azeroth, and it’s also been drilled into our heads every chance blizzard got, now you can believe what you want but fact is what blizzards says something is, is cannon they make the story we don’t.

Do the mogu not count as mortals? I believe it was them who introduced the zandalari to arcane magic, and the zandalari became so proficient at it that *elves* had to steal enchantments from them.

Got to be Azshara.

The most powerful mage is Aegwynn, she literally fought avatar of sargeras ALONE and won.

Doron, thanks for making all these fun theory videos. I love settling down in the evenings with a drink and watching these

Just wondering, but where would Antonidas be on this list? WoW doesn’t say much about him anymore so I was just wondering

I am surprised at no mention of Elisande.

The most powerful Shaman in Warcraft please!

I think you forgot these line.... "Am i to assault the undead nothing but sticks and harsh languages" hahaha

Actually lore speaking the most powerful mage is Med'an- Medivh's son which is a mage a shaman and a paladin

Med'an is probably the strongest. By far. He's only mentioned briefly and never seen in game but holy shit the power that he contains is massive.

Ronin can be mentioned as well even if he is assumably dead. He is super powerful as well. And don’t forget that Blizzard had brought back many popular characters that were assumed to e dead including by using the light or necromancy.

first off, neither Jaina or Azshara could have gone toe to toe with a fraction of Sargeras' power like Aegwynn did when she entombed his avatar. Azshara THOUGHT she was on the same level of power as Sargeras but there is no way. She wasnt more powerful than N'zoth, which wouldve been wrecked by Sargeras. Sargeras has the power to kill worlds alone, Azshara couldnt save her city. Aegwynn is the most powerful ever. i guess thats as far as my opinion goes tho.

Sry but this Video is pretty weak... No Kael'Thas Elisande Kalecgos if you count dead and alive... Jaina is realy just the boring answer to everything. Also she dindn't safed the alliance against the whole Horde army... the cleared the Gas with frost... even in the end battle she bearly killed anyone. Story telling or not... Yes she is very Powerfull, but my bets would go to any Blood High or Night Elf against her. She is a maybe 30 year old human and not an 10000 year old Elf... Also Khadgar would be my guess is more powerfull than her. She learned from Kael Thas and Antonidas, Khadgar from Medihv... So Gameplay Story wise Jaina yeah, but Book and Comic wise no...

Medihv hands down and then his son from comics.

in the novel Tides of war , Ronin leader of Kirin tor send Kalegos post aspect of magic to Jaina to help him to find focusing iris. it shows she has been better than all other the kirin tor members and even kalegos on understanding magic. accourding to Billizard :"She is also the most powerful human sorceress on Azeroth." Remember she has staff of Antonidas with power of Amanthul she took from defeating the thunderking

Well, I think Azshara is more powerful than Jaina, since Azshara is the first mage who touched Arcane, as I know.

There is no room for discussion here: Azshara is the face of the mages, the most powerful one to ever exist. The only ones comparable are Jaina, Kael’thas, Khadgar, Modera and such but even then I’d say each has their own specializations.

Regardless of all other reasoning, if you were the main mage character in any story, you get to be far stronger than anyone else.

mmmm you got something wrong. Azshara was thought to be Archimonde level not Saggy. Also she was able to maintain world and continent spanning spells at all times.

I'm a rogue main why did i click so fast... oh right it's a Doronsmovies video thats why.

Azshara did was no one before did since the orderning of azeroth. Use most of her power and the heart to release n'zoth

Rhonin was the coolest imo. Really wish he had made the list, without him there would've been no Jaina!

I believe that Kel'Thuzad would have qualified as "powerful". He might have needed the sunwell and sorcery to turn into a lich, but I think that being a lich entails a certain amount of magical prowess. I think 1v1, he would have destroyed Jaina in WC3 as a lich.

Totally forgot about Rhonin

Can you make a video about the story of the bravo company and jhon J keeshan

Queen Azshara

" i am stronger than ever i am" ka'el thas sunstrider is my fav

The game constantly says Azshara is the most powerful mage in existance. So... Pretty sure it's her.

If you say Jaina is the most powerful mage. I would say Azshara is the most powerful mage because Jaina herself said Azshara is the most powerful sorcerer the world has ever known. Well how many mages could stop whole ocean around the biggest civilization on Azeroth? That could prove she's so strong.

Thought Medivh would have been more up there, wasn't he significantly more powerful and Deathwing in his prime? I mean if he wasn't under the influence of Sargeras, that is.

You did a good job with this one because you can not truly put one arcane user above another because they all use tons of resources to fuel their power from artifacts to other people to planets the list never ends so theoretically the most powerful mage ever would be the one that lives the longest because they have the most time to study and learned about ways to harness arcane power if you live 25,000 years compared to 100 years and can travel through space your gonna find a lot more sources of arcane to draw from

Cool video! Love the music&edit

there are 2 answers 1 stronger with nexus a strength without nexus Magic without external nexus / power transmission 1.Rhonin considering that when the region was first invaded, night elves thought it was demigod and they knew Queen Azshara 2.Khadgar he without focus irsi devoted an explosion to the crater on the dark portal before he had atiesh 3. first arcanist Thalyssra / jaina consider the events Nazjatar should be something on the same powerlvl Voralen wenda talk on the blue where Thalyssra only magic for canon do not ask for epidemic disorder what indicates that the ready knows how with power source Queen Azshara with the well of eternity. Elisande with the Nightwell. Aegwynn (Power of the Guardian) Alodi (power of the guardian) (first guardian) Medivh (power of the guardian) Kael'thas Sunstrider with the Sunwell. Jaina Proudmoore with the focusing iris. Khadgar with Atiesh

Aegwynn defeated the avatar of Sargeras and submerged the temple of Elune in broken isle by herself.

I said without being boosted in any way by a council or well / laylines khadgar and jaina takes the cake who knows what they would be capable of with a boost

Illiadan probably should have been included, while he isn't a spell caster in the regular sense his origins lay in arcane magic with some druidism sprinkled in and even without direct access to the wells power he was arguably second only to Azshara during the war of the ancients. In Wow we don't really see him use magic all that often as he typicaply relies on Fel and shadow magic to supplement his melee abilities but in wc3 and the expanded content such as books he is a true master of the arts in particular when it comes to ritual magic. The fact Kiljaiden specifically sought out Illidan and requested he destroy the Lich King (despite his betrayal multiple times) and the vast armies and power at his call speaks volumes to Illidans capabilities.

Hi Doron! As always I enjoy your videos very much (with this nice ending haha) but isn't there a detail you could have been missed? I mean, Jaina needed Lor'Themar and the heroes help to defeat Azshara, so Azshara is still quite a big deal

It will always be the last Guardian : Medivh !

Jaina as a mage has access to mage armor spells, which of them she is the only one who can wield the most powerful one, they call it "plot armor"

Dude it took Jains a first arcanist feathermoon loRTGEMAR AND the HEART OF AZEROTH to take her down. The same heart of Azeroth that when powered up killed nzoth. She’s clearly the strongest

Put some respect on this mans name, MILLHOUSE MANASTORM

idk if you playing the game or not, but azshara in her palace she let us defeat her she wanted us to charge the circle of stars with our attacks to release energies from the heart of azeroth to break nzoth chains, please make ur facts right.

1 Medivh - 2 Aegwynn - 3 Antonidas - 4 Azshara- 5 Kaelthas

Jaina did have the focusing Iris to help her destroy Orgrimmar. Equally, I cannot see Jaina being more powerful than Azshara personally. Azshara had her own personal agenda and we were more an inconvenience to deal with rather than an actual threat.

Doron love your vids but eternal palace was all a trick.... Btw where is jaina for nzoth

Azshara was far more powerful than jaina it's not even a question azshara punked her and called her an apprentice in the eternal palace. Imo jaina doesn't even really rival kael'thalas sunstrider and that is a fight I would have loved to see, jaina punked by a real master

Last time I was this early kalimdor was still run by old gods

Jaina is without a doubt the strongest. In the battle for dazaralor we only managed to injure her... I have managed to KILL Nzoth (old god), Aggramar (titan), Yogg Saron (old god), Arthas (Lich King), Ragnaros (elemental lord), Al Akir (elemental lord), Deathwing (dragon aspect) and much more. So she's more powerful than any of those that i listed. Makes no sense why she didn't just solo N'zoth if he's making such a big ruckus. Right now Jaina and Sylvanas are indestructible and probably have the thickest plot armor that I've ever seen. Seriously they're probably on par with Rey from star wars or higher. A pair of Mary Sue's who will end the Pantheon and the Void Lords if they were foolish enough to challenge Sylvanas or Jaina.

Is it me or his voice sounds like Pilav

One of the strongest mages are player mages themselves during legion with their artifacts. Arguably current mages are equally strong with the heart of azeroth. Who knows what level of power will shadowlands offer to players. We getting super charged equipment similar to the helm of domination or frostmourne.

Lol Jaina being at the same level as Azshara? Not even, remember she destroyed the entire inhabitants of Azsuna cursing the Highborne that lived there making them unable to escape death and turning them into gohst like beings for 10,000 years. I think Azshara is way way way more powerful than Jaina.

When i saw this video i just thought it would be Aegwynn, end of the story but i guess if you think of her as multiple mages it's cheating and i may agree that if Jaina had access to the resources that Azhara had access to, she would be as powerful maybe.

Where is my boy Kaelthas Sunstrider

Aegwynn is the most powerful mage, it said in scepter of Sargeras story from Wow Legion

Aegwynn defeated Sargeras, the end of story.

Amazing video. I agree with the conlusion.

Uh, that would be me.

??? Wheres Wilfred fizzlebang? Millhouse Manastorm? They're clearly the strongest.

Forgetting the blood elves are we ?

Just no.

the answer is medivh

Deathwing = Mylagos (pre demon soul) = Mhediv = aegwynn > jaina = khadgar = krasus (he went toe to toe with deathwing and could hang pretty long)

2:38 short lifespans? Laughs in forsaken and guardian.

Gotta love everyone down in the comments reeeeing about Azshara, trying to use the current Azshara (Old God) powers. Some of you clearly missed the point.

Well Azshara was defeated by bunch of heroes with mini wells of eternity on their neck, so now wonder she lost. (And arcane is about how you channel it instead how much of it do you channel.)

What is the name of the background music?

Not a word on Kael fucking Thas?

There are elf mages that live thousands of years. I want Blizz to answer me how tha fuk a young human girl, at her 30s is the strongest mage out there? Makes no sense. I love Jaina during WC3 but i feel like the only reason they made her so powerful without a logical reason is because she hates the Horde and players thus have to take her seriously.

kadgar no questions

Isn't it pretty much Azshara? Even Jaina says so.

It’s obviously me, I am Azeroth’s champion they say
