Bolvar was stronger however Sylvanas started dating the Jailor so he handed her all the Raid Loot.

Bolvar is the Paladin of Bahamut that became a Warlock of Tiamat, so he lost his former powers and had to grind his way back up in the new ladder. Arthas had a lot longer to achieve that, so it makes sense that Sylvanas would lose to Arthas but win against Bolvar. Also the fact that apparently all death knights draw power from the Shadowlands, and the Jailer is directly connected to the Lich King, or atleast the Helm of Domination, which he was wearing, if you'll recall.

Bolvar hadn't gotten any new loot since Wrath, while Sylvanas has been grinding soul ash in Torghast since Legion and has a full set of legendaries at this point.

ooh now i understand why sylvanas was always missing and nathanos make us do all quests during legion and bfa. She was in shadowlands patch 9.0 grinding for legendary items and gather so much power and she doesnt need horde anymore because she poses more power than everyone in the game. When we finally reach to her level it was patch 9.1 kortia but sylvanas had 2 legendaries and we had just one. So we need a raid group to kill her or beat her idk i didnt do that raid :D Poor Bolvar he face that monster alone. But how did he survived, confusing. May be sylvanas want us to go shadowlands and she can torture us. 400 iq :D

The thing is they never really showed her getting stronger she looked the same, was still getting her ass kicked, then all of a sudden she gets essentially a number buff and takes down a super powerful dude, then we are supposed to just accept a, "look guys see how strong she is now" moment when everyone just saw plain old sylvanas, beating the lich king. They did not do a good job conveying how much stronger she got, they just said it if they showed her getting stronger and using her new found powers it would have been more acceptable. The way it appeared, thanks to them not actually portraying the strength she got, it just looked like vanilla sylvanas beating the lich king which just makes him look weak.

@necrona 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, but if people saw her getting stronger they would get suspicious... she already was acting a weird, and everyone got confused about her (both characters and players). If they knew she was getting some new powers from somewhere and was getting too strong, they would suspect her reasons to get to war and BfA would be a different game... we say it would have been better now but back then, the fans were ecstatic that there was a was between the factions again. Blizzard just gave them what they wanted...

@Gogo Apples the books, also the "light grant me one last blessing" is very obviously implying that the powerboost he gains is a one time thing, and is just that--a massive powerup. whether the sword channels it, or tyrion himself, whatever--tyrion in that moment became a vessel of the light itself. probably not literally the entirety, but enough that it would have probably destroyed a lot of VERY powerful beings.

The Four Horsemen do lead an attack on the Legion. The Legion tried to launch a counter assault to retake the Broken Shore and kill Illidan and Co but the Ebon Blade caught wind of the attack and wiped them out with the Horsemen and a bunch of undead dragons and griffon riders. So in the end they do save the world despite the shenanigans Bolvar forced them to do. Also the Ebon Blade have a short story leading into Shadowlands that explained Bolvar was seeing small glimpses of the future for a while now and was building the Ebon Blade's power to deal with the dark presence he sensed(Jailer). Its a good story and explains that a lot of distrust existed between Bolvar and the Ebon Blade because of the questionable orders he gave during legion.

13:05 : The reason why Death Knights don't just go to Paladins and be like " Ye we need his body, can we please come and get it? " Is because Death Knights are literally machines based on 1 Goal. If the Lich king/Deathlord commands a Death Knight of Acherus to retrieve said corpse, they will do it regardless of the consequences, because that's how a Death Knight was created in the first place. Cold, remoseless, no mercy just pretty much all the negative emotions put into this overpowered sack of meat and bones with crazy abbilities. Just absolutely ruthless giving no care for the innocents. In fact they don't have much of a choice either, if they don't fight/kill they will lose their minds and just go crazy. Death Knights NEED to be in battle most of the time. Some Death Knights like Thassarian have more control over their thoughts and such but since YOU as the player back then are the Death Lord you pretty much did what was commanded. I think it completely makes sense to the Lore and it showed that Death Knights aren't the "good guys" but more of a Neutral killing machine that acts on a single purpose without having any regard of anything or anyone.
