Greatest Heroes and villains...........where are my mages?

[Deleted]

I already explained this, they have to be truly impactful in a way that makes you want to go out and be utterly amazing like them or be so terrifying the you never want to face them whilst kael wasn't like this till much later once you get to him in tempest he starts to show that he isn't to be messed with and will destory you
kel'thuzad has had armies at us the whole time and whilst I feel his fight was extremely lacking should of been a force to be reckoned with!
and azshara is azshara I look forward to see her eventually lose it and go insane on us

So basically most of the mages that everyone has described then?

Y'know, because they're fucking powerful mages? You're either a troll or have an incredibly skewed insight into what fits your criteria.

If you don't like any of the mages in the lore then you just don't like mages in general. You seem to like dark and edgy type serious classes like DK. Your choices for inspiration then would be limited to Death Knights and Demon Hunters. Warlocks are dark yet goofy. Mages are usually light-hearted and goofy. You proved this point when you said that Kael'thas was a warlock when he wasn't. He was a fire mage. Not once did he do anything related to being a warlock. Pyroblast, summon a phoenix, fire magic, barriers... the only thing questionable was how he managed to resurrect his entire council. Sure, he summoned Kil'jaeden, a big badass demon, but Azshara and Kel'thuzad also either summoned or attempted to summon a big, badass demon. Mages actually have a history of summoning the biggest and most badass demons to date. Sargeras, Archimonde, and Kil'jaeden have all been summoned or almost been summoned to our world by mages.

Anyway, point is every class has their aesthetic and mage is more light-hearted and goofy. If you don't like that then you won't like mages. Khadgar should be a huge inspiration to any mage since he's so cheery despite his many years of hardship. Medivh is a great mage in his own right and he's still out there somewhere. Kinda flew away after Karazhan. There are plenty of cool mages they just usually like to tell jokes. Of course Arthas isn't going to joke around. Death Knights are probably incapable of making a joke anyway. Liches usually do though.

Why is Jaina being put as a villain lately? She hasn't done anything overly villainous, unless you're Horde maybe. Else, not much.. Would more call her, chaotic neutral?

Because she left the Kirin Tor and people think that Ilgynoth whisper is about her. "Her heart is a crater and we have filled it."

Because everyone figured out she's actually a dreadlord. And we know that dread lords are evil.

She's Dreadlord, confirmed by Chronicle 2. SO IT WAS TRUE ALL ALONG!
