In this video I talk about the orcs and how powerful they are in the lore. Going through their history, characteristics and culture. From their creation as described in World of Warcraft Chronicle up to the current state in WoW Battle for Azeroth

Our bond is IRON. Our will UNBREAKABLE! Who will stand against us?

HellscreamsFist Lok'tar! Brother!

[@deniz3029]

Turalyon did it pretty well.

[@canjohn8272]

Deniz Annen did it pretty well ;) Also he beat Doomhammer while Orgrim was blinded by the Light.

[@deniz3029]

Can John Turalyon blinded Orgrim thanks to his bond with light so it still counts as 1v1. But we could still talk about Varian Wrynn in Ashenvale who almost killed Garrosh and slaughtered all of the orc forces there :D Edit : Almost all by himself.

[@mehmetkagan2738]

Deniz As a 12 year Alliance player: I can't deny that Orgrim would make Turalyon his bitch if he saw his attack. Turalyon was able to beat Orgrim because Orgrim was already blinded by the Light. Orgrim killed too much strong Warriors like Lothar and Blackhand. Even Grommash (Slayer of Mannoroth and Cenarius) thinks, Orgrim could beat him in 1v1 in the Beyond the Dark Portal book. Orgrim was the same level with the Broxigar. Sadly we only had Varian to compare such strong Warriors and he defeated by the Felguards...

[@joeturner7768]

You know what's ironic the humans and orcs are both creations of the titans of the pantheon

[@bindair_dundat]

With their size and muscle mass, a punch from an orc would probably feel like being kicked by a horse to a human.

[@Kristers_K]

They are insanely powerful warriors since their whole lives are based on war and fighting. But they are also the most powerful shamans out there mostly due to their spiritual connection to both elements and ancestors, Drek'tar alone can bring down mountains and no doubt the likes of Thrall can summon massive storms and tremble half a continent to rubble at their full potential, if not more, to which dwarves, draenei, tauren and even trolls pale in comparison. It's the deep connection and respect to the elements that's quite admirable.

[@seffay6875]

Kristers Krūka Sad Thrall lost his deep connection with the elements though...

[@Kristers_K]

True, but it's due to his own inner struggle, his regret for killing Garrosh, the son of his friend and savior Grommash. It actually does show the connection since even something even like conflicted morality can affect it.

S. F. P. Varian wasnt a MERE human though. While he practiced home in his castle, he also got trained by an ORC. So he learnt the superior ways of the ORC warrior!

Hope he makes how powerful are trolls

[@SniperKing-O]

Imagine if Orcs were given the Worgen curse. They're natural bloodlust combined with both the Demon blood and Worgan curse would be the most frightening thing to ever see in both Azeroth and Draenor! Almost nothing could stop them if they had that curse, lol!

[@ronanchristiana.belleza9270]

and Considering that they are already Physically Strong, if they have Such a Worgen Curse, i don't Think Even a Tauren could Fight Orc as the Wargen Orc itself could Match the tauren with Raw Physically Strength Alone

@Tomáš Pavlík All good my dude.

[@canjohn8272]

Great video, brother! But you could have also add Iron Stars because with the Mag'har joining to the Horde they bring signifacnt numbers of Orcs from Draenor according to Steve Danuser on Twitter. Mag'har Orcs also have Azerite Iron Star on 8.1 patch and they also did bring allies like Gronns, Gronnlings, Ogrons and Ogres. So Horde now has significant primal power. As for notable Orc moments I would list: Orgrim kills Blackhand, Shadow Council and Lothar, plus conquers Stormwind and Khaz Modan Region. Broxigar kills thousands of demons and even wounds the Dark Titan himself. Grommash defeats both Cenarius and Mannoroth (even without Demon Blood). Thrall destroys Durnholde and saved the World couple of times etc. Note: Orcs also become adults at the age of 12. According to Rise of the Horde; Durotan becomes the Chieftain of the Frostwolves at the age of 12 and mates with Draka next year. Also Grommash defeats the Gorian Empire at the age of 15 and drinks the Blood at 22.

[@fumarc4501]

And I’m just sitting here hoping to hear someone mention the fate of the Necrolytes and Stormreaver Clan.

[@uniackesummers5948]

Can John Also I would add Thrall vs deathwing, and Garrosh defeating Taren Zu (excuse the spelling).

[@canjohn8272]

James Summers I mean yes Thrall was the one who defeated Deathwing but he got a little help from his Dragon buddies. But I guess kill still goes to Thrall so yeah. And yes Garrosh beats strongest Monk probably, even Emperor Shaohao fails to touch random Shado Pan Monks yet Garrosh makes Taran Zhu his toy.

[@Irken_Invader_Zim]

So both races were made by Titans Humans were originally Iron Vrykul with a purpose to fight off the old gods Orcs were originally Ogrons or created by the Ogrons and the Ogrons were made to fight plants? Lol

[@elijahbutcher9522]

no orcs were descended from ogres who were descended from the ogron, gronn, magnaron, and colossals in that order the latter had to fight monster plants, when the ogron, gronn, and magnaron came to be from devolution they inherited the urge to crush the plants but held no loyalty to each other or their ancestors and while they fought the evergrowth (the plants) they didnt do it consciously, meaning they didnt understand why they fought the evergrowth

[@szymonkalinski3014]

Cool new series :) Now i wait for how powerfull are Forsaken and Blood elves.

[@fumarc4501]

How strong are the Gnomes and Draenei?

[@gasops5606]

I always see orcs as warriors, strong and honorable. Just made an orc warrior :D love him

[@franzlimit]

Loved to see this video. Could you also make a video some day in which you try to rank/compare all the existing playable races based on their physical abilities; fighting skills; average intelligence; magical affinity etc? For example, which race would win in arm wrestling? Tauren, Orcs, Draenei, Dwarves or even Worgen based on lore? How many humans would it take to wrestle a single orc in his prime down?

[@Cyberwings101]

One nun corrupted orc has a strength of for regular humans and one fel orc has the strength of 4 nun corrupted orcs and that's lore. Skills are a diffrent story

[@mathenis]

Broxigar, the only mortal and Orc who ever made a wound on Sargeras.

[@bobbybiggerstaff7269]

Thank you for another great video! I quit playing wow and keeping up with the lore around the time when wow Chronicles 1 released. I find it odd that the orcs, a third or fourth derivative of a Titian creation are super strong. When dwarfs are 1 derivative from Titian form. And humans... well even though they are just 1 derivative away, they are yet in fact a sicker version of the vicrul. Logic would have you thinking the titian's would've made the best of the best keepers for Azeroth, to protect one of their own. However we know that to not be the case.

[@kiondeessameirmaozona8050]

How powerful are trolls?

One of them is president of the US so I’d say they can get pretty powerful.

I enjoy your videos a lot and do think your accent is nice. The "How Powerful" series are my favorite. It would be nice to do comparisons; as in an average orc vs an average night elf with no weapons and magic locked, etc...

am I the only one who noticed that Thrall is the only orc with eyebrows?

Yes, and its weird.

The strongest warlock, the first lich king, and the warrior that killed demons. But most importanly they have green jesus with them.. Without a doubt they're one of the strongest race in azeroth...

Im maining a human but my heart will always be with the Orcs and the Horde since I made an orc hunter in Vanilla, Lok'tar ogar

[@Kunori]

There really shouldn't be that many orcs left by this point. First, they were tribal cultures, lacking huge population centers like cities, and living on a harsh world where death was a constant danger. Then they fought the draenei, then they fought the humans and ended up in internment camps, about enough time passed for orcs born during the war to grow up, then all of them in the new horde except the frostwolves piled into a fleet of ships and sailed across the ocean (with enough room in said ships to pick up EVERY surviving darkspear troll on the way), then they fought the night elves, then the Legion again but worse this time. Then world of warcraft happens, over the course of which they fight the scourge, the legion again, have a civil war, maintain years of grinding constantly against the alliance, endure a plague and the world getting some huge cracks in it, and apparently had a food problem, since that was one of Garrosh's gripes? And may have had something to do with living in Durotar, known for its massively fertile fields of bare rock and dust? They haven't exactly been in a great position to have lots of kids. Even if they had they haven't had time for most of them to grow up yet, and that's assuming orcs are adults at 14 or something. There was an old warlock trick to magically age kids to adults super fast to make more soldiers, but that canonically produces orcs that are mentally unstable and I doubt anyone in the new horde would have allowed it. Since the official position is that resurrection is rare and special in-lore, there really shouldn't be more than, like... a town full of original timeline orcs left. A small town.

[@gorlab9549]

Not all of the orcs joined the invasion even if they were part of the horde. Many including females, children, and maghar orcs stayed back and lived what normal lives they could. Garrosh was born and raised on Outland before being brought to Azeroth by Thrall.

[@respectdude2482]

The soundtrack? :)

[@Doronsmovies]

It's the Army life and the Maghar music from BFA.

[@Krom184]

If you enjoy orcish music as much as I do then I would also recommend Rise to the Dark, Iron Dawn, Doomhammer's Legacy, Warsong (from WoD), and Doomhammer (from Siege of Orgrimmar MoP).

[@o-hotynk25]

Broxigar is probably only character that hit Sargares.

[@lucaslima33]

Man, lore is a thing, but in-game they are basically the best race for every fuckng class they can be. It may not match visually or with the lore but it is just ridiculous how they can be good in everything they do. There is only one Race that i see that can make up with them: The Trolls (Humans got nerfed).

[@deniz3029]

Doronsmovies doesn’t give alliance fanbase enough love. Obvious Horde bias.

[@fumarc4501]

It’s not biased if it’s true.

[@Mick0Mania]

I was recently able to meet the art manager for the WoW team through college and got really pumped up to build up my portfolio to apply there (he didn't seem impressed with my current one). I played WoW for a few months out of curiosity and went back to try legion not too long ago but never really got hooked. My main goal was to find a transmog for my Tauren that I really liked, so once I did, I kinda lost interest. I really want to give the game another shot, but whenever I do, I just can't get hooked. This may very well have a lot to do with my lack of knowledge of the game. So this is my request to WoW fans: Convince me to play again! I wan't to play to check out art assets alone, but it would really help to enjoy the game as well. What makes you lore fans like playing game? Perhaps I can learn from you all. I did collect a whole bunch of Gnoll costumes to roleplay at one point, but it is way too time consuming to do that and not a good reason alone to pay subscription money IMO...
