Why didn't Jaina attack Rommath?

[Aquamonkey]

The eagles are intelligent beings, not slaves to someone. The eagles wouldn't gain anything by going to a very dangerous adventure across the mountain, they didn't owe Frodo anything.

Except they could not be dicks and help stop the greatest evil from rampaging across Middle Earth again. It's in their own best interest to help, unless they have some non-aggression pact with Sauron.

So I guess eagles like it when it rains fire.

[Zaelsino]

Yeah, gamescale. Not to mention he was surrounded by guards on all sides; it seemed like the Sunreaver resistance group had the middle under control at least.

Though a proper mage fight would have been cool. Aethas got stomped in seconds. >.<

Aethas thought he could reason with her. If he'd come in with intent to kill the fight probably would have lasted a bit longer.

[Haytham]

She was too busy picking on civilians to fight somebody her own size, I guess.

Indeed.

The blood elf mage would probably kill her off anyway.

True enough. He should have seen it coming after she gunned down all of his bodyguards though.

[Immitis]

Indeed.

i dont think you realize how powerful jaina is. theres probably less than a handful of people that could put up a serious fight against her on their own native to azeroth

[Gags]

Did I say she was weak? No. What I said is that she chose to use her strength to bully and kill tradesmen and innkeepers instead of fight an archmage at or near her own level. Which she did.

I agree, as an alliance player, she went a bit overboard. But did she even know he was there? If they did cross paths it would be a completely different story. Who knows what would of happened, but I would still put my money on Jaina.

I could. Not with violence, but with my silver tongue. She will give birth to my human-orc hybrid babies and we will settle down somewhere nice and quiet. Her fire balls and frost bolts cannot withstand my level 100 sweet nothings.

[Maxilian]

Why didnt Frodo take the eagles to fly to mordor?

Because he wasn't lvl 60 so he couldn't own his own eagle and all the others eagle were only for 1 passanger and not 2 so noone could take him there

That's one of your pickup lines?

Well... i'm pretty sure she would want something.... bigger... you can't even compare yourself with a dragon... even more an ex-aspect (yeah we all know that he was an aspect for just like 5 mins but it still counts)

[Combatbutler]

Attacking her would have been counterproductive, he wanted to get as many Sunreavers out as possible, battling Jaina across the city was not part of the plan, though it really would have been interesting.

He's the Grand Magister of Quel'Thalas, which makes him the most powerful mage representative of a race that not only taught humans everything they know about the arcane but also that eats magic to live. Jaina would have a fight on her hands if she tangled with him. However, granted, lore-wise he wasn't interested in a fight, he was mounting a rescue operation, so he would have been trying to get around by misdirection and stealth.

[Mandible]

And leave the whole circle unpatrolled? Jaina may be angry, but she is not crazy!

No, she just have OCD.

All i can say is, it will be very interesting to see how the remainder of this expansion plays out and how the major NPC's play a role in it. Going to be good!

[Frozenbeef]

i would love to see a strong horde mage such as aethas or Rommath have a battle with jaina...heres hoping its included in the 5.2 rep grind :P

[ghostblade]

The eagles would be corrupted by the ring as anyone else. They wouldn't even get close to the mountain of doom, since the ring's calling was stronger the more they got nearer it. In the end, the eagle would use the ring, either becoming a servant of Sauron or making it easier for Sauron to locate and get the ring back.

no the reason was that the eagles where neutral. the only helped gandalf because the lord of the eagles owned that to gandalf.

[Loaf Lord]

Jaina is pretty OP with the focusing iris thingy amplifying her magic. With it, she's probably the strongest mortal mage. Without it, Khadgar might trump her, and idk how powerful Rommath or Aethas are.

[Skytotem]

The timelines do not coincide. Just like the Horde Theramore scenario takes place before the mana bomb, the Alliance one takes place afterwards.

What on earth are you talking about no it doesn't.

[Justignoreme]

What on earth are you talking about no it doesn't.

yes it does. Horde one = rescuing Thalen Songweaver BEFORE the mana bomb. Alliance one is AFTER the mana bomb has been dropped and there's a giant bloody crater in the middle of the ruined city. Get YOUR facts straight please.

You're thinking of an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SCENARIO

Thalen songweaver isn't present in the one where the sunreavers are pushed out of Dalaran, you're thinking of rescuing him from Theramoore, which took place before Cataclysm.
