Top 10 Most Powerful Non-Magic Casters In Wow Lore

WoW has never shied away from powerful characters in its lore. Some characters have the actual ability to devour planets or cleave them in two with a single swing of their sword. Typically these characters are empowered by some sort of magic they wield but in this list we’re going to be talking about the top ten strongest characters that do not use any magic in their kits. This will NOT include characters that are made stronger by an enhancer like a loa’s blessing upon Rastakhan or the demon blood in Grommash Hellscream, as magic is involved in making them more powerful. This list will ONLY go over pure skill and strength in a character.

[@Kiwicrack]

Small correction, and you did say that Garrosh only won because of the poison, but uh, Cairne was actually giving Garrosh a whooping, easily. So, for all his prowess, he was still not technically a match for Cairne.

[@Asterion_Mol0c]

Though I love Garrosh, I agree.

[@Darkvega2k7]

Yea I read the book, and people keep forgetting Cairne was giving Garrosh the buisness. it drives me nuts when people talk about this like Cairne was getting bodied 🙄

[@tnecniw]

Yep. If I remember correctly, the only reason (even with the poison) that Garrosh won, was because Cairne's spear broke. Because EVEN with a poisoned weapon, was he not even touching Carine, not even a scratch. But with one swing, (after Garrosh was essentially beaten black and blue) he managed to shatter the handle of Cairne's ancestral spear, which allowed his axe to slice downward and gently scratch Cairne. We are talking like a cat scratch. That was it. If the spear had held, Cairne would have won, without even taking a single nick.

[@Eisendrache2]

One could say, that Garrosh wasn't still used to fight with Gorehowl, since he used to fight with two small axes. And he only recieved his fathers axe, when he returned from Northrend and got it as a reward from Thrall

[@Justin-tc3xh]

As i remember Cairne had garrosh in a state where all he could do was block counter or take indecisive blows. But the strike where garrosh poisened him sure it was a glancing blow and cairne would have been fine sans poison, but that one strike also SHATTERED cairnes spear. So idk garrosh was never really in too bad of a spot, and if the fight continues it was an unarmed or possibly armed with a broken spear Cairne vs. Garrosh with Gorehowl who was the one that just broke said spear.

[@StrumstarHammer]

Huln Motherfucking Highmountain! The CHAD Cow who stood in front of a demon portal and spun his spear around to turn demons into confetti the second they arrived. Okay that might not be canon but that's how I played him in the quest.

[@knusperkeks2748]

Brox #1 in my heart.

[@kevind3974]

If we take away special or higher beings (cough dragons). Yes

[@matus19971]

​@@kevind3974 yea, I don't get why Galakrond is on the list. He's not natural and his powers revolve around necromancy

[@mikiusmann]

I'm an Alliance player and still have the utmost respect for Broxigar the Red, I tell people about him all the time, one of the 3 best characters in the history of WoW

[@superworm1547]

Feels like saurfang should be here as an honorable mention

[@dakojin3811]

Pretty sure Galakrond was empowered by both decay and void magic

[@revan8795]

He was otherwise the drakes he ate wouldn’t reanimate as undead.

[@saturnsix2482]

Was stopping by to say the same. So, he wouldn’t fit on this list. Broxigar for the win!

[@Sagewinds]

As much as I agree with you and it is my head cannon, we have yet to get full confirmation that he was actually empowered at all in terms of lore. It is highly and I mean Dever on 4/20 high, implied at this point, but not 100% stated.

[@xaviergould8747]

Yea he was a void corrupt drake or atleast mutated by the void

[@wassim_bn8750]

Cairne should have gotten a spot on this list, I'd say he would've been as strong as or maybe even stronger than Varian. Remember that during his mak'gora, he was kicking Garrosh's behind until he suffered a seemingly small cut that let the poison weaken him greatly. As for Varian, I don't know if he should've been mentioned since he actually was blessed by the Ancient Goldrinn, who granted him increased strenght, speed, reflexes and even sense of smell. So magic does have something to do with his abilities.

[@HAXRLITSXY]

as for galakrond, i thought it was waters corrupted by yoggsaron that caused him to mutate. this was revealed by books in dragonflight uldamon.

[@DevelonLP]

you are right "Galakrond's mutations were caused by Yogg-Saron corrupting the waters which Galakrond drank from" he didnt count drinking the blood from a pit lord but he did count gaining power through corrupted water from an old god

[@HAXRLITSXY]

@@DevelonLP the way he phrased it sounded like he just straight up thought this was natural... which it wasn't.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

not arguing that Galakrond gained his strength through magical means, but hasn't it been hinted at during DFL that Tyr's experimentation is what caused Galakrond's mutation? If so, I would posit that the books in Uldaman are just Tyr's clever cover story to shift the blame away from himself.

[@Nmyers91]

Cairne was winning the duel until the poison kicked in btw, if you read the shattering it was kinda clear about that

[@Jaricko]

Baine in one of the books i believe considered himself stronger than Garrosh as well but saw little point in challenging him because poison would just be used again like his father.

[@waflleking]

Thoradin didnt have the nickname "Trollbane" it was his companion Ignaeus that got the title.

[@Terrados1337]

Canonically there are two things bigger than a titan. Broxigar's balls.

[@Boxkar24]

Get this list is subjective but how Broxigar didn't get the #1 spot is baffling to me. He wounded a *TiTAN* while standing on a mountain of demon corpses!

[@kalidornsteelhoof]

Cairne should be on the list since he was beating Garrosh before he was poisoned. Magni and Galakrond were both enhanced by Azeroth and Tyr experimentation/decay/void magic (still not 100% clear) respectively so they really shouldn’t count.

[@ihmen]

24:30 the reason the scourge weren't able to revive Galakrond wasn't because his bones were "too big" it was because the player character stops it from happening via a quest to take out the scourge at the location before they even finish excavating the skeleton. When you turn in the final part of the quest, the dragon aspects even say you saved everyone from "certain" death, meaning it was a certainty that the scourge would have successfully revived Galakrond had you not intervened. I miss when this channel did more research before a video.

[@chosmal1]

I think that... What he mean by "too large to handle" wasn't referring to the Lich King inability to ress it, but rather to the fact that undead army didn't dig it out in time.

[@greywolf892]

Great idea for a video! I enjoyed it :) My vote is for Cairne bloodhoof. Becomes more scary when you remember that Tauren are like 10 feet tall in lore.

[@Barsee23]

why is he called broxigar the red if it's supposed to be about him covered in demon blood and demon blood is usually green in the game

[@literallypuni4091]

You forgot to mention how this was ALL part of the Jailer's plan...

[@fuzzyfailure2691]

Plans within plans, iridikron is going to revive the jailer with the corrupted dragon soul dontcha know?

[@Neomagam]

Its such a shame that some of the most badass and developed orc characters come from books and are never talked about in WoW. I think it was a complete mistake not to give fury warriors Broxigar's axe as their artifact weapon. Can you make a top 10 list that includes Eitrigg somehow? Maybe a top 10 "characters Blizzard has completely forgotten" list?

[@FlailofFury]

The pathetic excuse they gave for not giving Broxigar's Axe still annoys me to this day.

[@DevelonLP]

what was their excuse?@@FlailofFury

[@FlailofFury]

@@DevelonLP The full quote is "Yeah, thought about doing that one for a long while. In the end, a wooden nature themed axe didn't feel right, despite lore.” So just because its wood, they thought warriors wouldn't want it. It would have been literally perfect for legion, an ancient blessed weapon that cut Sargeras

[@davidpachon8591]

Rockbiter is more of an Arms weap, also Rockbiter is in the hands of a Broxigar's relative.

[@eltonazevedo1361]

broxxigar the red axe was a gift from the world tree bark and enchanted by cenarius, it would never be mention neither put on the game because it would be super stupid... as broxx went inside the demonic portal going to * no where8 and no one knows where in twisting nether... how the fuck you want hes weapon? go into the twisting nether and search for it.... some people eat shit with a fork

[@RichSmithson]

Just dinged a Warrior 25 alt today. Perfect timing for this video.

[@mjosura]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the humans shown at 0:55 as an example of a lifeform that never were "mechanized" is inaccurate. Humans are descended from iron vrykuls who were affected by the curse of flesh, ergo were originally titanforged. The better example to use for Alliance should've been Night Elf or Draenei.

[@miguelherrera7391]

Thrall did NOT cheat and that’s been confirmed. The rules of a mak’ gora are set by the two participants and if no rules are specified you can throw the entire kitchen sink if you want. No to mention Thrall and Garrosh had already had another mak’gora before where Thrall also used the elements and Garrosh never said anything about it

[@weisshxc]

I was just itching for another hiru video

[@AcktongueBaby]

I thought for sure it was going to be Broxigar as number 1. He was a complete badass with his wooden axe. This list should have separated humanoids from creatures.

[@Freestyle80]

aka he needs to appease you

[@eduardosiqueira4405]

I missed Anduin Lothar

[@Heron11177]

Garrosh also dueled Thrall during the time of WOTLK pré patch. I'm not sure if Blizzard planned well the ore for this fight, but they were both using armor and Thrall was using shaman spells. Still, Garrosh was holding his ground. The duel happened in Orgrimmar's arena and was interrupted by a Scourge invasion Thrall could basically 1 shot Garrosh in WOD because he trained a freaking lot to be basically one of the strongest shamans in Azeroth. If the fight was just pure physical strenght Thrall would've lost. I know Makgora (I don't know how to spell and I'm feeling lazy to search) can accept enchanted weapons and the use of spells, but as it appeared this duel between them was limited to muscle strength only. So Thrall needed to "cheat" to defeat Garrosh and that shouldn't be a surprise. A warrior/barbarian would naturally be stronger than a shaman

[@krustyklownkollege7361]

18:32 - Gruul the Dragonslayer? Thought it was Gruul the Dragonkiller.

[@depressedonion5610]

I am still mad that, despite it being one of the few weapons that managed to strike Sargeras, Broxigar's axe wasn't a warrior artifact weapon or an appearance.

[@davemustang8173]

Chad Broxigar vs Virgin Illidan

[@BigHeadClan]

I mean not all that close Illidan is a master in hand to hand but if we were to rank every warrior in the verse he’d maybe be in the top 30. Brox I’d arguably is easily in the top 5. Illidan is much stronger as a spell caster and would fall somewhere in the top 10 in the verse. It’s the fact he mastered both hand to hand combat annnd magic that makes him so deadly and one of the strongest characters in the verse.

At this point every single part of the lore can be retconed in the future, including RetconFlight...

[@ArklusDryxal]

Then why did he have necrotic magic and also void inside of him? Both mof these are very much against the Titans. And even in the original book, we know the Titan watchers did SOMETHING but both then and now we do NOT know what exactly caused him to go through his change.

[@DdayArt]

7:34 The movie is NOT canon.. Stop saying that you can't use magic in Mak'gora's. That's a Warcraft movie thing, not an actual lore thing.

[@Barsee23]

[@davidpachon8591]

I we get serious "mak'gora" as a thing didn't even exist back then.

[@nitebones1]

techincally the cheat is thrawl used more than 1 weapon, for a Mak'gora you have to agree on what weapons and armour to use so it is fair and only based on skill. you can also say there was no cheat as they didnt agree before hand on what to use, but to thrawl it still felt like he cheated

[@Rancidtunip]

I think we need to throw an * next to the top 2. You disqualified other orcs for being green orca and Broxigar also had a magic axe that was infinitely sharp. As for Galakrond his breath was magical in nature and id argue so was the necro dragons

[@eltonazevedo1361]

When Brox's axe was taken by the Moon Guards that captured him, Malfurion, under the forest demigod Cenarius' direction, created a mystical axe of wood enchanted with a piece of Kalimdor's magic, making it light as a feather and stronger than any mortal-forged axe. In Brox's hands, it was to be the death of literally thousands of demons and allowed him to achieve the unthinkable against their lord.

[@Karazhan_ir]

Glakarond was corrupted by Yogg'soran as it was said in the books found in Uldaman in DF. The corruption made him so big and powerful with decay and void magic

[@Chriscsg89]

Cairne Bloodhoof should have honestly taken Garrosh's spot on the list. He was completely dominating him until a glancing blow broke his spear, he got a TINY scratch, and then the poison weakened him enough for Garrosh to take the win. Also, why isn't BROXIGAR THE CHAD number 1? He literally wounded a TITAN while standing upon a mountain of demons he had slain. I can't think of any feat that would rival that from a non magic user. Unless we include the player character ofc. Also, I think even Varok Saurfang would beat out Garrosh, but that ones just my opinion.

[@FernandoComicsOfficial]

How on Earth are you gonna put Blackhand on there when he lost a 1v1 to Orgrim Doomhammer ? Orgrim supremacy 🔨

[@BigHeadClan]

Agreed, Orgrim who also lost to Turalyon although tough to say if Paladins really should be included in the non-caster category.

[@FernandoComicsOfficial]

@BigHeadClan yeah it's hard to say. If we allow them, they'd take several spots for sure. Then that kind of opens the door for death knights too 🤷‍♂️

[@davidpachon8591]

Yeah... That's a retcon, the first version implied Orgrimm kil*** him by backstabing, not for a duel, anyways Blackhand was so strong that he was the guy who take Doomhammer directly from lava to give it to Orgrimm, we could agree he beats Blackhand on the new lore but in terms of strenght he still seems to be a bit ahead, being superior is not always necessary.

[@davidpachon8591]

He didn't even beat Lothar in the first version.

[@TheNarghes]

I hardly disagree with #1 Galakrond. Yes, he was huge and devastating, BUT he was infused with Old Gods (Yogg Saron) which made him big, huge, necrotic magic infused dragon. Even if he was just a huge physical dragon, proto-dragons are evolved elements. Basicly they're pure elements evolved into physical form, still infused with one of most amounts of magic. Broxxigar is #1

[@wesbridges1037]

I'm still a bit salty about the legion intro killing off Tirion, Varian, and Vol'jin. It was a misstep that was just done for shock value.

[@Alarak87]

No honorable mention for Gamon, the savior of Orgrimmar?

[@matus19971]

As much as I like Garrosh, saying that he beat Cairne is just plain wrong. Garrosh got in only one small cut that poisoned Cairne which led to him become unable to fight back and thus Garrosh slew him with the next attack. However, prior to said cut, Cairne was whooping Garrosh's ass with ease. It was completely one sided. Knowing how powerful Garrosh was and how he had clashes with Varian numerous times, just shows how powerful Cairne was despite his advanced age.

[@Beargrin89]

Thrall did not cheat. The first mak’gora they had, Thrall threw lightning bolts without anyone protesting. There was also no blessing, no official witnesses, and both still had armor. Granted, a mak’gora’s rules are decided by the two combatants, but with how the narrative was carried out? It seems as if the two just decided to fight and end it there.

[@blueoutrider]

Every mak’gora (sp?) I hear about someone cheated to win…. The only one I heard about was from the Warcraft movies.

[@Lvl13Warlock]

Why no Cairne?? He was literally the strongest mortal alive on Azeroth while he was alive. Even Thrall acknowledged his strength. Even Garrosh did, he never accept the victory after he found out that he just got used as a tool to kill Cairne. Sad enough that he just died to a poison.....

Both humans and orcs are totally titan forged. The only OG flesh races in Azeroth are trolls/elves, draenei and tauren some of the "monster" races and aqir. Orcs descend from the massive earth elemental Aggramar made, humans from the steel forged that became vrykul.

[@That_kind_of_orc]

Varian got strength of Goldrynn which is like double of normal person and reflexes like worgen so it shouldn't be counted as his own power

[@francescogiacovelli8468]

I agree with everybody saying that Brox should be #1 and that Cairne deserved a spot, but... why is nobody talking about Grom or Orgrim? I mean, between Grom and Garrosh, Grom definetely was stronger. Sure he drank Mannoroth's blood, but when he faces Mannoroth in the original time line, the demon's blood has no effect on orcs anymore (they were abbandoned by this power when captured and enslaved by humans, then Thrall restored their spirit thanks to shamanism and the proof to that is that, even after Mannoroth is killed, orcs remain green skinned, even if they are 100% free from the curse) and he basically one shotted him, the most powerful pit lord and one of the most powerful demons known. Just think about the fact that the Doomhammer did NOTHING against him and he KOed Thrall so easily. Then in alternative time line he still manages to oneshot him again without drinking his blood. Then about Orgrim he just killed both Blackhand (so why isn't him automatically above him?) and Anduin, two of the most powerful warriors in wow lore

[@videomanster3029]

isnt broxigar green, meaning he drank demon blood so a magic power boost?

I personally wouldn't put Varyan not Garrosh over black hand, seeing how was under blackhan's leadership that the horde destroyed and sacked stormwind, forcing Varyan himself to flee and reaching a far greater power then Garrosh ever did. Edit: And blackhand did all this being a mag'har himself

[@babayinternazionale274]

WHERE IS DUROTAN? How magic of Axe of Cenarius is not magic gain? He is not mechanically forged, but literally druidically created from wood by Malfurion and enchanted by Cenarius. Cenarius even said that the enchantment on the ax makes him light as a feather and strong as a diamond. Remember the battle between Brox and Varo'then, if not for the light ax, Varo'then most likely would have killed the orc. If the ax had not been enhanced by magic, Brox simply would not have lived to see Sargeras. You added Garrosh-mag'har to the list before Ysha-heart, but did not add Grommash before drinking blood, who was a legendary warrior on Draenor before the creation of the First Horde.
