Turalyon vs. Tirion vs. Uther.

[Theoris]

Uther was a priest.... they were all priests.....

Turalyon was originally a priest. Uther and Tirion (and IIRC, Saidan and Gavinrad) were knights.

[Schattenlied]

If you noticed, most of the time in a lot of lore, players just aren't there or don't exist for main events. Canonically, it was probably written that Tirion kicked the Lich King's ass by himself.

It wasn't written that way. The entire point of us being there is the Lich King was testing us throughout the expansion, weeding out the weak, so that only the strongest heroes Azeroth had ever known would make it to his throne, where he would then kill us and raise us to conquer the world for him, while Tirion was made to watch. That is the lore.

Stunned, blinded, awwed. Kind of the same thing. Uther glew really bright after his friend died. I'll chop it up to an adrenaline rush. I don't need to play Turalyon down or up but he doesn't even come close to what we know about him before the 1000 year war. He didn't do anything close to something as insane as defeating the Lich King.

Since when Uther or Tirion defeated Lich King?

[Zarc]

Tirion if power.

Also Tirion if story, thanks to his vanilla questline and book. Uther being close behind.

Turalyon is just a weeb for the light, not a proper paladin.

Uther and Tirion aren't even close in power to Turalyon. Uther was the first Paladin, he was a mentor to both Turalyon and Tirion and passed his knowledge on to them, after which both of them could build on that to become more powerful than Uther ever was. Up to the Second War they walked very similar paths as peers, after that however Turalyon got infused with the Light and spent a thousand years perfecting wielding the Light as a weapon, which is what being a Paladin is all about. To think Tirion could have mastered wielding the Light greater than Turalyon in barely a lifetime would be ridiculous, even more so if you take into account the wealth of knowledge available to Turalyon from beings who have spent millennia and eternity wielding the Light.

That being said, of course Tirion is a bigger character given that Uther has been dead since well before World of Warcraft began and Turalyon has been off-screen for roughly the same amount of time, so I understand anyone who'd like for Tirion to have been the more powerful one. Wouldn't make much sense, though.

Knights and Clerics actually.

[Jorah]

Knights and Clerics actually.

Uther also was cleric. Tirion / Saidan / Gavinrad were knights.

[Theoris]

Knights and Clerics actually.

Uther was also an apprentice cleric, yes.

[anaxie]

Gavinrad. Such a footnote

[Jorah]

Gavinrad. Such a footnote

BTW he was Stormwind knight from Botherhood of the Horse (Like and Lothar).

Anything special?

Knights of BoTH had +100 to badass.

Wonder how he fot the title

THE DIRE

[Merie]

Uther is like the ObiWan Kenobi of WoW but Turalyon has been fighting the Legion on their home turf for a thousand years and is still standing. Every piece of his loot must be indestructible super charged titanforged out the ass packed with sockets and bonus speed and leech by now...

[Razaron]

Turalyon hands down. Really shouldn't even be a debate, he won the 2nd war for the alliance, went through the dark portal won again. Battled demons for over 1,000 years.. his teachings with the light is more developed. Anyone who says anyone else is just being more of a fanatical thinking...

Tirion killed the Lich King.

Turalyon almost died to a random Eredar rogue.

Yeah totally not a proper paladin... not like he was fighting the legion for a thousand years evading death and survving the destruction of draenor, attacking argus with skirmishes and becoming immortal.

But yea let's pick the fanfic favorite bum Tirion over him because of his uber awesome weapon.

Surviving Draenor and becoming immortal wasn't him.

[Aeula]

Turalyon survived the destruction of draenor and became immortal and lightforged, dafuq u talking about?

Your precious tirion is only good because of the ashbringer.

All that happened because of dumb luck and the Naaru.

[Nathreim]

Tirion hands down. His faith was strong enough to defeat the Lich King who is by far the most powerful foe any of the Paladins have ever defeated. Uther couldnt stop Arthas and Turalyon had trouble with a first Gen DK.

Not only that but Tirion's faith did not blind or control him in the way it does most Paladins. He saw the good in all races even undead.

You can't base an overall judgement of their power on 2 single events.

Though two can play that game.

Turalyon fought the Legion for a thousand years in countless wars and continues to do so.

Tirion was captured and killed at the beginning of his second war against the Legion, Azeroth's third war against the Legion.

[McNeil]

Pretty tough to say. I wish I could've seen more of Uther in combat, he was only shown fighting Arthas which he lost despite having the favor of the light during the match. Tirion is a great and powerful paladin, but I think he's only that strong because he's carrying Ashbringer which is in a league of its own power wise. If Uther was using that sword instead he might've been the strongest, and I haven't been imrpessed with Tirions fighting skills before the Ashbringer. As for Turalyon he seems powerful and has a history of being in constant battles, but then in Legion he seems to lose his badass status and just lets the players do all the fighting instead while he AFK's in the Vindicaar. Maybe we see more of his fighting skills in Antorus.

So far I'd say Uther if there's no Ashbringer involved, otherwise probably Tirion.
