Any other non human mage ?

[Combatbutler]

And you make assertions and draw conclusions about them that aren't factual, as if to say that there is no possibility any of these mages are anything or could be anything - because their city fell to ruin. This is what you use as some sort of evidence that they aren't good mages.. or "aren't as good as i think"

Which facts do I ignore? That they teach outdated methods?Being even further decimated during classic, being driven from their city by a horde force with many of them dying in the process, being cut off from all they gathered over the millennia wandering the wilds for years scattered and alone, suffering from withdrawal I never said they aren't good mages what I said is they aren't top tier mages being above the rest, which is something you personally want them to be.

Now you can bring facts hard facts that distinguish them as super amazing mages within a margin of the last 1.000 years.

So good that they single handidly won the troll wars for the high elves.

They do not, they unleash their super decimating spell together with the elves, not on their own

Where not humans the biggest potential in wizardry accordingly to chronicles?

No it isn't stated, just that they have a very good affinity for it.

Horde fans, simple. Everyone but horde alligned folk are rubbish or second grade.

Foolish thing to say the elves in general are good but most certainly not the best magic users on the planet, heck canon sources outright say elves and humans are pretty much equal in terms of power.

I would like them to give Rommath a chance to show off. He should be able to at least hold Jaina down on a duel.

Considering that Jaina must be now second only to Azshara and mayyybe Dadgar in terms of strength, I doubt Rommath has much of a chance. We've seen no Mage pull half the shit she pulled in BDA within living memory.

[Varodoc]

Azshara should still be able to effortlessly stomp Jaina and Khadgar. I refuse to believe that anything remotely Human can even contend with the power of the Champion of N'zoth, Queen of the Naga, and former Queen of the Kaldorei. There has to be a limit to Human Potential.

There's no stopping the human potential! You'll all be wives and love interests to human male paladins. That's the fate Sylvanas saw.

[Trikszter]

Well Thalyssra is completely useless, she couldn't even hold a candle to Jaina when we were confronted with her in Stormwind. Which suggests to me that the Nightborne's magic must have stagnated over 10,000 years of isolation.

The Horde's only hope for a decent mage lies with Rommath. But Blizzard won't let him do anything for fear it'd take spotlight away from their precious Jaina.

I believe the circumstances if their meeting was special, as Thallysra and her co. tried to free 2 prisoners and escape with them from StormfukinWind city as fast as possible. She could have start a battle but that would have been pointless since it only allows the reinforcement to capture them. Otherwise i believe Thallysra is equal to jaina or superior thanks to her experience.

Humans learned magic and within, what was it? A decade? Obliterated the Trolls, something the high elves failed to do for centuries.

And yes, having a good affinity for it does more or less imply a stronger potential. Chronicles outright stated that due to their heritage they naturally just better at magic. Why that doesn't imply to other titan origin races, who knows.

Jaina teleported an entire armada, effortlessly, and Khadgar was so mighty that the strongest mage and warlock in night elf history needed Dadgar's magic because his own simply wasnt enough.

We've never seen how strong she is nor have any indication of how strong she'd be.

Other than her well being gone which... isnt a point in her favor.

Blizzard have wrote a few great mages like Medivh, Khadgar and Jaina, but this is a privilige only for humans. There are other races with strong mage potential, like what nelf mages used to be. Azhara and Illidan were Heavy hitters comparable to the guardian power level Aegwynn, again a human.
A draenei lives much longer Than other races so they could produce a few capable mages, yet We have seen No one since their arriving on Azeroth. And this is only alliance side. It was the Belfs who taught humans magic. Ok 90% of the races died thanks to the scourge, so only 2-4 truly great mages left including Kael’thas who was the last truly great magi of the belfs in lore since We have seen nothing from Rommath or the others that could be named as a feat.
Blizz could have been introduced great mages with the Nightborne to the horde, but currently thallysra fails to match these expectations. Ellisand and her mates were Good ones, until We killed them all. Nightborne made Aluneth wonder about their city or whatever, and he thinks humans dont live long enough to become truly strong, yet so far We have seen nothing remarkable from them. The void elves showed More capacity in the warcampaign that most nborne or belf ever did. Its Not a problem, but it’s on alli side.
On horde side We have No one with great potency. Pandaren could have been the answer for this since they exists since the nelfs but No.
Please correct me if i’m wrong. Also sry for my bad english.

Not reading through all of the posts, has anyone mentioned Millhouse Manastorm?

[Combatbutler]

Humans learned magic and within, what was it? A decade? Obliterated the Trolls, something the high elves failed to do for centuries.

Humans got handed thousands of years of knowledge and had to be bailed out once they were really on their own, because they were skirting the line, thus the Guardian system was created, humans did not obliterate the trolls alone that is the whole point without the elves they couldn't have done it.

And yes, having a good affinity for it does more or less imply a stronger potential. Chronicles outright stated that due to their heritage they naturally just better at magic. Why that doesn't imply to other titan origin races, who knows.

Humans and elves are equal in terms of magical aptitude.

Bring a First Arcanist under Elisande prety much enough for a pont. She prefered capable mages...

Feats that have little relevance in the grand scheme of things. We haven't even interacted with Azshara to begin with aside from five seconds in Legion. Most of her story comes from the War of the Ancients, when she was much stronger than Mannoroth, possibly the most powerful demon serving under Archimonde, and only Archimonde, Kil'jaeden, and Sargeras himself would prove to be her superiors. And that was before she joined N'zoth. Azshara lacks feats not because she's weak but because she is smart and prefers to work from the shadows. In the next patch, we will see the Queen in all her glory, of that I am certain.

I might quit that game if Blizzard writes Jaina, a 40 years old wizard, as stronger than Azshara, one of the most ancient, powerful, and malevolent characters in the Warcraft universe. Instead, I hope that Jaina and Khadgar will not appear at all, and the final showdown will be between Azshara and various elven mages whose ancestry dates back to the Highborne of old (Umbric, Mordent, Thalyssra, Rommath, even Farondis).

They literally obliterated them with a magic hellstorm of fire and death.

Not by themselves the elven magi pooled their power in there as well according to chronicle.

The voice acting suggested genuine fear. I doubt her power is anywhere near Jaina's. Thus far she hasn't done anything near what Jaina did in Stormwind or Dazar'alor.

[Varodoc]

It's stupid that Thalyssra can't just shit on Jaina and proves that the writers are truly biased towards Human characters. One of the Highborne of old, a veteran of the War of the Ancients, a Shal'dorei whose veins are overflowed with the Arcane, and an arcanist who has been using magic for thousands of years, is weaker than 40-yo-old Human who has been studying magic for less than three decades? Give me a break. I don't even like Thalyssra, in fact I hate her, but it's ridiculous that Jaina and Khadgar are written to be so strong.

Except protecting boats from artillery fire XD

But she didn't sought for Arthas and clam-blocked Jaina.

Being more serious now the only limit they have currently is being banned in the fanclub of Illidan, Shamans, Druids and the void magic I think.

Blizzard outright admits that writing humans is easy so that's what they like to do.

Millhouse Manastorm was locked up in Arcatraz by the Naaru, just saying they didn't lock up nobodies.
