I felt weird as a troll warrior wielding this thing, so I changed it to Gorehowl.
Brainscrawler That just strikes me as the epitome of irony, I'm not gonna lie.
Playable Troll is Darkspear tribe, while the one here is Zul'aman.
It is still weird to use that weapon as troll. It is weird to me how Blizz decided to use this weapon as warrior artifact. Anyway all warrior artifacts are not so bound lore-wise to Horde.
Kind of like a Troll using Trollbane.
The The Arcanite Bladebreaker skin is also very cool. I'm having a hard time choosing between it and Gorehowl now XD www.wowhead.com/item=139578/the-arcanite-bladebreaker
These Artifact Lores really gives weight to the artifact, first it felt like i was wielding a nice 2h, now that i know its backstory, it feels heavier.
Still should have been the Axe of Cenarius. I mean fuck, Broxigar is, IMO, the greatest Warrior in all of lore. He is untouched by any mortal being... I wish Broxigar was in our lore more than just a little tidbit.
Endeavor Tabarsi I beg to differ. That blade was forged with the SOUL intent of being used by Broxigar, a Warmachine, an Orc Warrior. What's the difference from that and Strom'Kar? A HUMAN 2h sword...
Endeavor Tabarsi That's not what you said. You said it doesn't fit well with the Warrior Class, but how is slaughtering 10's of thousands of Legion demons NOT warrior enough? I think the Axe is PERFECT for the Origins of a Warrior, druidic magic or not. Strom'kar falls into the same category by your logic.
The problem with the Axe of Cenarius is that it is a VERY VERY plain looking weapon. It looks like a very plain carved wooden axe, and its power comes from the druidic enchantment Cenarius placed on it. This was even commented on in War of the Ancients, when demons at first laughed when Brox charged at them with what looked like a wooden axe. I'm not saying it would be a bad weapon, because it has some neat lore behind it. But Blizzard wanted the artifacts to have a very unique look, and the Axe of Cenarius is too plain looking for what they were going for. I personally was hoping for Gorehowl, but I have a feeling they didn't do that because it has been useable in-game since Burning Crusade. That said, I think the lore behind Strom'kar is really neat, and it was awesome to finally hear some more history of Thoradin and Arathor. We always knew Thoradin existed (because Thoradin's Wall is named after him), and we knew he was the original founder of Strom (now Stromgarde) and the one to unite the human clans into the first kingdom. But beyond that we knew little of him.
For what it's worth, the model of the "Axe of Cenarius" that Brox uses in the Black Rook Hold flashback uses the same model as The Betrayer of Humanity, a drop off of Kel'thuzad in 25m Naxxramus, if you'd like to transmog that and feel like you're actually wielding the Axe of Cenarius
***** Broxigar was taken in by the Night Elves. They saw his power, they saw his abilities, they looked at him, as an EQUAL. Broxigar was able to attack SARGERAS... Yes, Thoradin is a badass. But Broxigar is unmatched.
Honestly, I half-expected the Arms Warrior artifact would be Gorehowl. Like, the Gorehowl Garrosh took with him to DraenoR was just LEFT next to his body, and the quest to retrieve it would take players to an ogre stronghold and fight their way to take it back.
runedragon1985 You forgot that Gul'dan took Gorehowl from the field and used it to taunt Grommash. Consequently, during the final 'Draenor is free!' Cinematic you see Grom raising Gorehowl up. So yeah, no Ogres involved I'm afraid
Though I'm not sure where Garrosh's Gorehowl from Mop went....
you can get Gorehowl from the last boss in the Blood Furnace in Outlands
Blood furnace dungoeon doesnt drop Gorehowl its just warsong axe (there is small visual difference) if u want gorehowl u can drop it in old karazhan from last boss.
Oh yea, that's right >
This might be your best video yet! Amazingly done Nobbel!
I stopped playing legion, but I'm still subbed to you. Because your content is good.
I absolutely love the hidden effect of terrorizing Troll mobs (it even works in ToT), if a Darkspear (playable) Troll wielded it, he/she would have to be majorly ballsy.
Also, I liked what they were going for in the battle against Zakahj by saying he was changing tactics, as if to inform a strategic warrior (part of the Arms class fantasy) to change his/her own tactics. Unfortunately, there's not much to that fight, and even the game mechanics of Arms is just so basic and completely lacking in that fantasy. I like the DPS that my Arms warrior has, but I wish it could be a funner spec to play like Fury.
I, a darkspear Troll, am wielding it to great effectiveness. And I am ballsy indeed ;)
"oh no problem mon im just wielding the blade that slaughtered my ancestors"
i love ur videos. especially the artifact ones. lot of lore, me happy :D
I came here after running Zul Grub on my alt and all the trolls keep getting feared and i had this buff. Pretty cool that even tho legion is over they still have this. Which lead me here :) ty
well I was gonna sleep for work tomorrow but then the master of lore uplouded a video
Been waiting for this thanks Nobbel
very cool one. Liked it
this explains sooo much and such an inspiring story, thank you nobbel, greatest of lorewalkers amung us curious folk, thoradin full lore next? including mentions from the death knight order hall campaign? with the history of Stromguarde and events in it? only u can do it so well!
I've just finished reading Chronicles and i really gotta say: Was there ever a thing the trolls recovered from?
Those photoshpping skills tho :P
Is there any difference in Thoradin's dialogue for trolls by any chance?
I'm very happy you talked about the origins of the Humans in WoW, i knew nothing about that.
gr8 video nobbel..
as usual ;D
great Video
Geweldige video, wil gelijk een Warrior spelen!
Awesome ❤
oh fuck yeah :D always good to see more lore :3
So this video being here means the warrior order hall story should be out sometime soon.. *grabs popcorn*
Good lore weapon, now we need the axe of censorious.
Grey World Cenarius
Thank you
Grey World stupid auto correct
Wait wait wait, i need more info on the trolles that runs in fear ! :o XD
Everytime you do a dungeon/raid containing trolls for example in throne of thunder or zul'gurub, while having this sword equipped they instantly get feared because of the sword.
+Nobbel87 About the bit where Thoradin chose a place for his keep, this was based on a Lithuanian legend of King Gediminas and the Iron Wolf.
if you are going to farm any raid, before you are max level as a warrior, make sure strom'kar is your transmog, as just being transmogged it will terrify trolls.
O_O it makes the trolls run away in fear? Holy shit I have got to see this with my own eyes!
that seems like a nuke like tharemore even has the mushroom cloud effect so the alliance can use devastating magic like that but the horde cannot without breaking war crimes I am so confused NOBBBBBBBBBBEL HALP
Stromkar from conan the barbarian.
So is it save to say that the event around the mushroom circle with the singing fairydragons is connected to Zakajz? Were they singing to keep him sleeping or is there an even greater evil thy try to calm?
at the end was that za the bc raid? chill that blizz would make another weapon with an effect in old connect. reminds me about the ashbringer in old Scarlett monastery
It works in ANY instance with trolls in it. Even in ToT
i dare to say that Trolls are one of, if not the most important race in WoW. Night elves evolved from them, they had the biggegst kingdom ever etc. kind of sad what happened to their land honestly. Can you do a video about the old Troll Empire?
Well you said it well but it would be better to correct it to that trolls are one of the most important race in Azeroth . becouse WoW was mostly about humans and orcs
WeilerArmenian which is kinda funny since both are pretty much aliens
Caio Ramos created by aliens*
Caio Ramos still created by some, so not really native to azeroth, like Trolls or tauren
Caio Ramos ... still created by some, just like my other 2 comments xD
YES
FINALLY WARRIORS POGCHAMP
Imagine if the weapon was Trol'kalar instead the Trolls would go crazy. But that would be a little to easy as Thoras has the sword, it doesn't have that same crazy awesome weapon appearance, and it belongs to the Trollbane family.
Nobbel what's ur favorite class in legion? :D
Question, to anyone who plays in the US, what would you guys say is a balanced PvP server but has a good population and activity ratio?
Searched for lore on this weapon after soloing Throne of Thunder as Arms for the first time lol.
Where are you getting the Lordain information? I'm very interested in it and just want to find the source xD
Nobbel ik probeer te slapen en dan komt je video. nu moet ik je video wel kijken.
ga lekker slapen, video is er morgen ook nog!
Nobbel87 Is this Dutch? I think i can tell what you are talking about, greetings from germany :D
Nobbel87 niet verwacht dat je zou reageren. Geweldige vid zoals gewoonlijk en alvast fijne kerstdagen.
Paul Drews its dutch yes, its similar to german but not the same. I was saying that i was trying to sleep but i now i need to watchs his video.
And this is one of the moments i love that i speak dutch, groeten van Zeeland ;)
Hello nobbel, can we get a lore about ymiron the fallen king ? thanks alot.
if I up my account do I have to do it over n over again? ?
drink everytime nobbel says thoradin
I'm pretty challenge right now but I've completed your drunk!
best story
its kind of weird if you are a Troll Warrior(like me) and have the sword.....
Most artifacts are quite weird for Trolls... or orcs.
hmmm thats true
i might be reaching abit here but that weapon reminds me of terra's key blade abit which imo is the most badass of the keyblades
hi, can you make video about anduin wrynn, and is he become paladin or something else?
xjackfighter canon wise anduin is a priest theres a cata questline from varian where you guard anduin from twilight while he heals you :) but an anduin video would be awesome
Eh, the axe of cenarius would of been better but I enjoy learning more about the early humans in wow. It's gratifying to know that there is in fact a warrior culture within the humans of the alliance, that it's not just the light and lordliness.
im 3 years late, but you mean the wooden axe created by druids ?
Suprised you didn't mention that the blood DID affect the sword resulting in 2 of our gold traits: Corrupted Blood of Zakajz and Void Cleave.
Wouldn't it make more sense if the arms warrior weapon was gorehowl. It was said to be the only weapon to harm sargeras right?
Booberry uh no. That was the Axe of Cenarius
Hello Nobbel!
Wait thats the thing i absorb as shadow right?
wat vind jij de mooiste class order hall ?? :P
Do the Thoradin lore please
yay its the buster sword
I never came this early.
0:19 You should prolly add a notification that that's from the video or remove it, I spent a few mins trying to figure out if windows had reinstalled skype for the third time without my permission.
if u to throne of thunder the trolls will have a debuff and will run away :D its awesome
I get why they need it but anytime I see a non human using warbreaker I die a little inside
This artifact is actually pretty cool. I through that it was a random sword held by a king LOL
and why the heck are you playing a GNOME ???
Would be funny if the holy paladin took the sword by accident and the arms warrior took the hammer
In an odd way it probably would've worked out, since paladins are just warriors trained to use the Light.
Is the voice actor Peter Cullen?
I thought King Thoradin would have more Concise and thoughtful dialogue judging by his history and actions. Otherwise, I really like the character.
i feel like boosting a warrior getting this blade and seeing what trolls fear it
Wait. So the Trolls literally run away from that thing?
Nobbel.....how have you not gone crazy of saying "The burning Legion has invaded Azeroth once again"
God damn gnomes
Want to talk about irony how about a pandaren wielding the fist of ra-den
Pretty cool lore.
Shame the blade looks kinda bad.
you know thoradins end story sounds very similar to the end of beowulf
Wait a second, isn't Thoradin now one of the new 4 horsemen in the death knight order hall?!
Winthrop Augustine Thoras Trollbane is resurrected as horseman. He was also a king of Stromgarde but later... During the 2nd war when Alliance was formed.
Nah that's Thoras, who is a descendant of Ignaeus who Thoradin befriended.
Reign thanks 🙏🏾, I just the death 💀 knights campaign video again.
Nermin Čustić thanks 🙏🏾, I just watched the death 💀 knights video again.
gnomes
Such a cool weapon, a shame that arms just plays, well, as arms does. Gonna stick with fury :) Even tho the weapons are kinda boring.
so yeah... my Shadow priest did nothing... And there was no threat since a warrior put a sword in its head....
SIGMAR!
wait, where does the sword make trolls flee?
Zul'farrak, I think.
morthim zul'aman
In any zone that has trolls
i'm trying some PvP and it isn't really working. suspicious.
It won't work in pvp. That'd be horribly imbalanced.
I'm kind of meh on all the warrior artifacts, but of them all this is the one I'm least meh on.
400 views lol, only 11 min off publish XD
arms was boss at the start of legion, shame now this great blade has no use
Thats not a sword, looks more like a wooden plank with some sharp bits.
dat odyn upskirt, nobbee u pervert.
K
This weapon broke warlords and warlords alike! Why?
Because Arms warriors OP
It broke warlords and warlords?
troll warlords mind you
when you see it's a gnome. /puke. ;D
Obligatory youtube algorithym changes etc comment.
(I don't normally comment).
P.S. Fuck youtube changes.
.
If the Burning Legion invaded as much as Nobbel says, Azeroth would be screwed.
I would love to reach level 110 but this one player keeps on kicking my ass
jacobislucas is it theLegend27 ?
Stop releasing videos this late... people need to sleep :D
