When I get home, I'll start dropping wowpedia quotes. (Currently at work on the phone, hence my short replies)

While we wait for your quotes I'll post some of my own!

Quote:My father was Deathwing, the Worldbreaker, the Aspect of Death, the Destroyer... But I hope you will not hold that against me.
I have no love for my father, whose corruption destroyed my race, or for the Red Dragonflight, who stole away and experimented on my egg to create me.

Sayings Wrathion (That OP little whelp he is) says when you ask him who is he.

Lets point out the first and notable connection. He's the son of Deathwingm Aspect of Death, dest- you get the point. Shall we look at his other children? Onyxia, another Raid Boss. Second point. The Red flight did experiment on his egg. Sure, they made him uncorrupt, but whats to say is amazing OP skills aren't a result of that itself?

I've had this discussion with you before Reigen about Wrathion. He's a poor example on how powerful Whelps would be. It's like saying Tyrande Whisperwind is why all Priestess's of the Moon are so much stronger then the average person.

Wrathion is not a direct son of Deathwing. Sinestra is known to be the only female Dragon to survive mating with Deathwing, and Wrathion's mother is Nyxondra, not Sinestra.

Wowpedia and WowWiki list Wrathion as a son of Deathwing. So they could be wrong, or perhaps more then one dragon has survived Deathwing.

Wowpedia and WowWiki list Wrathion as a son of Deathwing. So they could be wrong, or perhaps more then one dragon has survived Deathwing.

Quote:While Wrathion refers to Deathwing as his father, this claim is dubious, since Sinestra was previously established as the only dragon to survive mating with him after he succumbed to corruption.[9] When asked about Wrathion's lineage, David Kosak confirmed the theory that Deathwing isn't Wrathion's literal father, and tweeted the following:

"We don't know who Wrathion's literal father is. Certainly he's in Deathwing's lineage. He considers DW to be his father, FWIW."[10]

While Wrathion's mother is clearly Nyxondra, the identity of his father unclear. Neltharion/Deathwing is the leader of the black dragonflight and as such is likely seen as the father of the entire flight (which could be why he refers to Deathwing's actions and why the legendary daggers are named Fangs of the Father). As there is no real shortage of other named (and unnamed) male black dragons, Wrathion's actual father could have be any of them.

http://wowpedia.org/Wrathion#Heritage

Deathwing is the father of the entire brood, yes. So, he is a father of Deathwing, although more along the lines of Grandfather to the x degree. However, seeing as he was kidnapped as an egg during Cataclysm, and we know that during Cataclysm only Sinestra was capable of having Deathwing's eggs, he is not Deathwing's direct child.

Hmm. Regardless he was experimented on as an egg, and most likely as a young child as well.

The point still stands, Wrathion is a terrible way to say whelps are OP. So I ask again, how are they OP?

Saddly Game Mechanics don't count for either side.

Is there any example asides from Wrathion (Once more an OP person in general) that proves either or?

Examples are all in the other threat, where its on topic. This topic is asking about playing dragons, which is a no. :P

Baggins…
Perhaps it is your imperfection that which grants you free will, that allows you to persevere against cosmically calculated odds. You prevailed where the Titans' own perfect creations have failed.
