Finally saw the assault force the rebellion and allied forces are taking to Suramar. And I finally have the proof that the blood elves can easily hold their own against the nightborne.
While the archaeology quest given by the Reliquary to steal the highborne secrets of the nightborne, it is just an indication that the nightborne generally have a larger library of knowledge (obviously) not that they're better.
The blood elf scout you rescue, he is able to take apart a 10,000 year old arcane nightborne, almost as easy as how the blood elves dispatched the highborne in Azshara. He examines their spell, finds it's sloppy, pokes holes in it and tears it down. Now why can't we see more blood elf superiority in/over the Kirin'tor????
I must say I am quite pleased about this, especially since there is the possibility of the night elves reuniting with the nightborne, I'm glad to see blizzard certainly not making the blood elves look less, and in fact when measured up against the nightborne or any night elves, prove to be the better and smarter. Which makes sense, because the blood elves have devoted their entire mission to cunning and power.
--- on another note... look how pathetic the night elf camp looks .. they look like a bunch of refugees, and the high elves are just a party the side of a handful.. lol. I'm sorry I just have a hard time finding any modicum of respect for night elves - it's so pitiful.. and as for the nightborne for all their supposed superiority, we pwn their arses too.
Blood elves for life !!
---EDIT -- New additions from the camps:
Even the Nightborne respect the blood elves: Victoire and Silgrn make these comments about the blood elves:
The night elves so primitive in comparison and unimpressive to them, though they're quite polite about it. Silgryn remarks "It is hard to believe we are all descended from the same elves. None of us are truly impervious to the passage of time. It seems." - i.e. he is shocked how different the kaldorei have become to what they once were, so different it's hard to believe by looking at them, that they all came from them. And his comment is marking how their glory has faded considerably - a far more polite version of Elisande's comments that follow.Silgryn: "These blood elves are battle-hardened and disciplined. Their strength will be most useful."
Victoire: "These blood elves have some formidable magic. Let us hope it is enough to counter the might of the Nightwell."
Silgryn: "The night elves use bows! I do not think a bow has been made in Suramar in centuries. I wonder if they would let me use one for practice..."
Victoire: "I saw the Sentinels doing target practice over in their camp. they sure can shoot...We never really embraced the bow. After all, who needs such primitive instruments when you can craft the fabric of the world to fire missiles for you?"
