: I realize this has been brought up a number of times
: before, but I still felt some things had been left out
: in the argument for the Watcher's power. So as to not
: leave any out, I'll just list the reasons why the
: Watcher is DA BEST.
: 1.HE CREATED/DISCOVERED THE DREAM OF UNLIFE! This means
: EVERY thrall, soulless, shade, etc. you fight exists
: because of The Watcher (or at least his discovery).
: 2.He defeated Mazzarin, the most powerful
: avatara/archmage that ever lived. Though he had to use
: a big ol' army of thrall to do so, the fact still
: remains that The Watcher is the one that finally
: finished him off (I'm pretty sure this is from Shade
: flavor text, tho it might be from thrall/avatara,
: can't remember)
: 3.He's immortal. Or at least so close to it that it
: really doesn't matter whether he is or isn't, as
: evidenced by his being around for 1000's of years and
: being labelled an ancient evil. Though I realize
: others have acheived immortality (ex.-Soulblighter),
: this still takes a whole lotta power.
: 4.He can go one-on-one with the Deceiver and survive. The
: Deceiver's flavor text states that he and the Watcher
: fought at Seven Gates (or Bagrada, one of the two) and
: that the Watcher barely survived. Barely or not,
: surviving at all while going one-on-one with the
: Deceiver is something no one else can do. And I
: realize this is sorta making The Watcher seem the
: equal of the Deceiver, but don't worry, #5 will
: address that.
: 5.He's more powerful then the Deceiver. Though there is
: no straight evidence of him being able to kick the
: Deceiver's ass, we can still infer that he is more
: powerful through some observations. The Deceiver was
: defeated by the weak, shattered remnants of the legion
: at the end of the Great War and was imprisoned in a
: block of ice, and couldn't break free without the help
: of my zerks bringing him his staff. The Watcher
: however, could only be defeated by the mighty Connacht
: (and even Connacht needed his army to help him out in
: order to do so). And as far as imprisonment methods
: go, Connacht needed a whole damn mountainside to
: imprison the Watcher, not just some worthless block of
: ice. The Watcher also managed to free himself on his
: own, without my zerks bringing him anything.
: 6.In the end, the only thing powerful enough to drop the
: Watcher was himself, arrows tipped with bone from HIS
: arm. Nothing anyone else had could stop him, they had
: to use the power of the Watcher himself.
: Just had to give props to my favorite character in the
: whole series. It's a shame we don't see more of him in
: the game. Oh well. Let the debating over who's more
: powerful begin!
Don't forgive that Connacht/Balor was the most powerful archmage in the myth history ever known. He destroyed Trow Empire(yeah, yeah using Sunhammer), killed Mjarin and Moagim Reborn, impresions myrks and he was the first human that survived myrk attack. And Balor: controlled all fallen lords(incluiding Watcher), And only one of the eblis stones could stop him(remember his sword attack in myth TFL). So watcher wasn't the most powerful archmage, Balor was.
