    Broxigar is the 2nd worst character ever put on paper. They took a character who is more or less a meme, Varok Saurfang, and turned him to 11 to be even more HARDCORE. I know, everyone loves Saurfang, but lets not forget that he was just an NPC that cleaved really hard in Org when the game came out.

    And as dreamcrusher - There is nothing special about brox, axe did all the hard work. You could replace him with any orc.
    Forget the Orc, just give the axe to a gnome. Imagine the gnome punt that happens after Sargeras get scratch by that thing.

    Also since Titans are now planet size, I'm pretty sure the Sargeras that Brox scratched is now an avatar.

    Broxigar wasn't an extraordinary warrior. This is specifically noted in the WotA novels. Thrall picked him to investigate the strange magic because he was smarter than the average orc.

    Having a death-wish isn't courage.

    Can't it be argued that being smarter makes you better at fighting? Since he's not physically inferior and all that(maybe apart from being aged).

    Ahh, I was totally unaware of how big of a meaning his axe had in this. And how hated this character seems to be lol. Guess I wanted to find a way to justify Vol'Jin's death. He definitely is a mediocre character, badly written by blizzard, but why not put som effort into making his story better instead of just killing him off and hope that everyone just forget him...?

    Now that's some wishful thinking right there.

    Think it's rather obvious the Loa whispered of Sylvanas. I mean, Vol'jin did say he never trusted her. But he does trust the Loa, hence she was made the warchief.

    Maybe Vol'jin was just... trolling them.

    You already answered the "why".

    Broxigar is no normal warrior. Most could not have survived wave after wave of demons to the point he was standing on a hill of corpses.

    His survivors guilt was born from him being more bad ass than the average Orc. The Legion wiped out his whole force but they couldn't kill him he alone held barred the way and that was before getting the magic axe.

    I don't think that's the issue, i mean Saurfang was a high ranking Horde member from the beginning, sure the Saurfang meme made him super popular, but Saurfang wasn't a Gamon type of NPC.

    Saurfang received enough serious lore since Wotlk to be more than "LUL he cleaves people!".

    Lol

    Broxigar didn't wound Sargeras, he delivered a scratch at best and he did that with a fairly overpowered axe. Broxigar himself is nothing special. Sure, he's definitely above the average grunt, a rather capable warrior but in the end the dude has no personality, no brain, no charisma or vision to be a leader nor strategic/tactical skills to be a commander. The orc himself is no worthy of any special attention and no one would waste energy and time in bring him back. If anything he should stay dead and I can only hope any Knaak character left will follow him into the abyss (crap, I just quoted Illidan).

    Plus, Vol'jin and Sylvanas are the obvious focus of the cinematic and even theorizing that the name whispered is not Sylvanas (unlikely but we're not 100% sure) there's surely no way in hell that freaking Broxigar is what Vol'jin's refering at.

    Clearly Vol'jin wanted Sylvanas to resurrect Brox to be the new Warchief, but those idiots thought he appointed Sylvanas.

    I dont know i think Vol'jin would find having a resurrected Garrosh serving under Sylvanas the ultimate in lulz plus Garry as a orc would have to follow his warchief cause he sure as shit wouldn't have many allies to help him back to warchief. So she could send him on suicide mission after suicide mission and seeing how he knows he has alot to prove he would be more than glad.
