I’ve heard about powerful Paladins, Priests, Shamans etc. But rarely have I heard any from the Rogue side of WoW lore.
Who is the most powerful Rogue in WoW lore history and what is their greatest feat?
It’s hard to say, as they are only strong for as long as the plot demands and are subject to the arbitrariness of the writers.
Look at malfurion, for example, the most powerful druid who was overpowered by axe orc sauerfang just like that.
As for the question itself, we have some prominent candidates like Garona, Matthias Shaw, Valeera Sanguinar, jorad Ravenhold, Lillian Voss.
Some would certainly list Vanessa VanCleef, but in the dungon she herself says she is nowhere near as good as her father
Either Shaw or Garona.
Edwin van cleef probably, or just any of the original deathstalkers
I doubt it, since he was trained by Shawn and still got defeated by some rookie adventurers.
and tbh, even i think that garona, lillian shaw are way ahaead of him.
even Jorad if likly better since he is the leader of the uncowned
Yeah but still it was an quite feat what he eventually did with the defias. Player charachter is basically deus ex machina so its hard to really use that as a point.
What do you mean by powerful though? Like in raw strenght or their ability as a rogue (meaning stealth and subterfuge).
That’s the same thing since rogues don’t have magic.
I mean they clearly do given high dexterity doesn’t make you teleport. Or make a dagger coated in shadow magic.
Modern wow rogue’s start to feel like Arcane tricksters rather than pure rogue’s
