Even if Telaryn was right, I find it kind of cute to assume Blizzard would remember and care for that detail.
If push comes to shove, they’ll just res her with two and go:“Yeah, well, these Val’kyr were better than the previous ones.” The hands of the creators won’t be bound by this pesky continuity if, or rather, when they want to write another resurrection.
Yeah but there’s more to it than just resurrecting Sylvanas when she needs her plot armour. Even if she’s unable to perform that, it doesn’t mean she’s unable to do anything else val’kyr can. If that were the case, why does Sylvanas ever feel the need to use lesser val’kyr if they’re unable to resurrect her?
So again, I’m not saying she’s completely useless. Be a lot cooler if you didn’t apply your headcanon here.
In the Dark Mirror story they juxtapose the ritual with which the three val’kyr resurrected Sylvanas as being the same thing that was done to Nathanos, only greater in scope (and thus, the power required).
After a moment of silent seething, the Dark Lady regained her composure. "The power of the Val’kyr will preserve my body for ages to come. Your once-human form, like those of my other Forsaken, will not enjoy such longevity. I would prevent your decay, spare you the pain I experienced when…"
So three val’kyr gave up all their power to the point of destroying themselves in the process to resurrect Sylvanas, and they compare the ritual to the one Nathanos goes through, only that Nathanos wasn’t being resurrected and he wasn’t a greater undead yet, so it required less power – yet even then it left the val’kyr permanently drained. But contextually they mirror them as being the same ritual.
That’s what I’m saying. It doesn’t work like that, so they don’t do it. Glad we agree on that.
Do you need like some kind of reading comprehension lesson? I’m currently studying to become an English teacher, so maybe I can give some pointers since you seem to be struggling to interpret what I’m saying and seeing things that aren’t there.

You’re essentially arguing that she’s of little more value than a lesser val’kyr, who got killed really really easily in Andorhal, ergo useless.
So it’s a really diluted version of the same ritual. This still doesn’t say that it’s impossible for the val’kyr to fulfill that Pact now.
yes this is how the Pact works. This is the only known parameter to fulfill the Pact she made with Annhylde. Nothing is ever written about it requiring them to be at full power, all that we’re shown is that it’s trading their lives to restore Sylvanas.
yes, we agree that the lesser val’kyr who weren’t part of the initial Pact can’t complete said Pact.
i fail to see how this relates to the 9 Greater val’kyr who ARE part of that Pact.
I’d genuinely recommend another career.
(hey pal judging by that snark at the end of ur last post I can tell you’re getting a bit antsy, if u want an easy out just go grhhhhhk sorry ghrrrk im driving through a tunnel i can’t hear y- and then quickly stop posting)
And if the diluted ritual leaves it drained of her power, do you think she has the power to perform an ever more demanding version of it? It’s the same parameters, only Sylvanas’s resurrection demands even more power. Power that our gal currently does not have. Where do you reckon it would magically come from?
Instead I’m just trying to RP at the same time and you’re still reading into things that aren’t there. The offer stands though, feel free to hit me up on Discord: Dodger#6969
everything else in your post is but thankfully the only relevant stuff is in one easily quoted paragraph to which i can rlly easily reply with recycled quotes of my own
which you all conveniently have yet to prove me wrong on.
It’s ok bud, you bought into some zany headcanon and speculation, that happens. Just don’t go around pretending it’s the factual canon of the setting when you are actually just completely incapable of backing it up.
Because like we both know, it’s a diluted version of the same ritual, and the val’kyr in question got drained too much by that alone. If she’s unable to repeat the diluted version of the same ritual, how is she supposed to perform Sylvanas’s resurrection?
She can’t. The ritual require’s three val’kyr’s power. Third one is unable to do that. Therefore Sylvanas is unable to resurrect now. Try though I might I can’t put it any simpler than that.
