Illidan Stormrage Vs Drizzt Do’Urden
Illidan Stormrage Vs Drizzt Do'Urden

I can tell you that I don’t know much about Stormrage, but from what I was able to research, he does seem to have a ton of power and would cause some trouble for the Drow.

Who would win?

    I belive Illidan Stormrage to be from the Burning Crusade expansion pack for WoW because of the opening video for it. I guess the other guy is from Dungeons and Dragons. No experience with either of these guys. This is the most evne match I think I’ve looked at so far. And it’s only even because nobody knows anything about them lol.

    Just because I’ve seen what Illidan can do and the sheer power he has at his disposal, I’m inclined to say Illidan. But I’ll wait to see what someone more knowledgeable of Drizzet thinks.

    Yeah, just seeing what Illidan can do from WoW I’m more inclined to lean in his direction than in the direction of Drizzt. I wonder if there are ANY Dungeons and Dragons fans in here or not. If not, this fight will die. =l

    Raises hand for D&D, but prefers to see others come to the rescue of Drizzt – Admin

    drizzt is only mortal he can probably best any other mortal fighter in the world and lesser demons but i dont think he would last against the over powered might of a WoW demon

    All i know about drizzt (coming from wikipedia youtube and some other sites) : he isnt human, and He is really good at swords he uses 2 of them. could not find info abt this guy.

    I know alot about illidan stormrage already.

    admin, why dont you help Drizzt out here doesnt seem like anyone knows much about him here.

    From what I’ve seen of the Drizzit (from this site mainly), he seems to be more inclined towards melee combat supplemented by passive magic.
    Illidan on the other hand is well versed in both combat and arcane magic. I think his versatility will give him the edge in this fight.

    Well from what i can gather from the books dritz is the greatest swordsmen in faerun only rivaled by artemis entreri. He can also summon globes darkness and levitate to a certain degree. And he can summon a migic panther from the astral realm. He’s also adept at defeating spellcasters by using himself as a distraction while his panther attacks from behind. But the spellcasters in forgotten realms cant cast spells very quickly and their power is really determined on their level of concentration. that being said Dritz stands no chance against an opponent like illidan.

    “admin, why dont you help Drizzt out here doesnt seem like anyone knows much about him here.”
    well your wrong there i have read all but three drizzt books and all the wiki pages related to him and his enemies so if you need to know something just ask .but from everything i know about him ,i really dont think he can win in this fight.

    Drizzt does not have the capabilities of surviving this encounter. Icingdeath might stall some damage, but he couldn’t keep up with the corrupted Demonhunter.

    he is more known as the betrayer than the demon hunter after he consumed the skull of gul’dan and ” betraying” his people. The skull of gul’dan made him very powerful thats another reason why illidan will win, because of the power he gained when he consumed the power form the skull of gul’dan

    Drizzt would definatley win he would completely destroy illidan, I have played both games and read all the books on drizzt, he has two scimitars, a magical panther, anklets of blinding speed, the bow taulmaril and infinite arrows, a mithril chainmail shirt, a spidersilk shirt has trained for about 150 years and then spent a couple years training as a ranger and has since then gone to mithril hall he is equally adept at using magic(sorcere) and swordsmanship(scimitars) his scimitars are called twinkle and icingdeath and twinkle helps defend him is able to point out danger and do other stuff, icingdeath deals ice damage protects from fire, and help his offense. it is named after the dragon icingdeath from who it was taken. so drizzt could completely pwn illidan stormrage!!!!!!!

    You do realize that Illidan can cloak himself in demonic flames so that even being within 10 feet of him will result in being scorched in hellfire right? Or how about being able to transform into a demon with enough power to level cities? Or how bout raising an entire island from the bottom of the ocean with his magic alone? Sure Drizzt trained for 150 years, but Illidan is over ten thousand years old. Sure, Drizzt might be able to withstand one blow or two from a direct melee attack, but Illidan just has so much power behind him…. he can hurl bolts of pure chaos energy. He’d make short work out of most Warhammer characters.

    i know for a fact that drizzt will win if any of you read a book with him in it you would know what he could do! in one of his first books, the crystal shard by R.A. salvatore drizzt takes on a balor! ( if you dont know what that is its like the highest level demon) & that was only his 8th year on the surface! for the people that say “he is only mortal” & stuff like that read one of his books, he might as well be immortal! he can fight blind, agiants a dozen orcs by himself & win no problem, this would be nothing for him! drizzt lived in menzzoriban ( icant speel it off the top of my head) the city of the drow, where allmost all of the nobles & high ranking familes want his head, then he went back 10 years later & completly destoryed the highest ranking family! he has helbed fight multiple demons & lichs not to mention an few hundred thousands orcs! he is the by far the greatest hero of all time! read his books, the legend of drizzt, by R.A. Salvatore you would kno why he would beat any one, well besides mayb GOD!

    i know both of them, illidan stormrage and drizzt do’urden. i would agree that illidan stormrage is quite strong due to the fact that he could metamorph to his demon form, but then i would think that he is still no match for drizzt, i agree with grimm_god for his brief history for drizzt. i’m actually an avid follower of drizzt and i would have to say that illidan would be pwned badly. mind you that drizzt already has experience with demons so defeating illidan would be a cinch. go read his books so you’ll know.

    @Skrunks
    -yes we know illidan can cloak himself in flames. but because of drizzt’s scimitar – icingdeath – flames doesn’t have an effect on him. besides illidan wouldn’t know what hit him after drizzt is through with him.

    I have read all of R.A. Salvatore’s books, played Warcraft, and currently play WoW. Drizzt would probably win because, as said before, he has experience with demons,, and Icingdeath was made specifically to kill demons, it sucks the lifeforce(something of that nature) out of the demon once it comes in contact with the demon.

    Illidan isn’t technically a demon is he….?
    He’s a night elf, brother to Furion Stormrage who was corrupted by magic from the well of eternity and also changed by the consumption of the skull of Guldan so he isn’t exactly a demon is he?

    “I have read all of R.A. Salvatore’s books, played Warcraft, and currently play WoW. Drizzt would probably win because, as said before, he has experience with demons,, and Icingdeath was made specifically to kill demons, it sucks the lifeforce(something of that nature) out of the demon once it comes in contact with the demon.”

    First, Illidan is only half-demon. Banishing him like he did to Errtu would not work, since Illidan is still as much biological as he is demonic. The first time Drizzt encountered Errtu, Errtu’s defeat was a surprise to both of them, and the Scimitar froze Errtu from the inside out after being stabbed in the stomach. The Second time Errtu would have one and it took Drizzt and all of his friends to defeat the demon. Oh, and Balor is only the second highest level demon. Demons in Warcraft are far more powerful then in Forgotten Realms.

    Second: Illidan is not a etheral being, is is a swordsman that has had ten thousand years of life and experience. He was able to go toe to toe with Arthas Menethil. Landing a succesful blow on the Demon Hunter would not be an easy task.

    Third: You have obviously never read War of the Ancients. If you had, then you would know that Illidan Stormrage is not only a capable swordsman, but a powerful sorcerer before he absorbed the skull. Simply ripping the sword from Dizzt’s hand with his mind alone would not be out of the question. Or how bout Mana Burn? Combusting all the magic within Drizzt? Gee, that might be painful for a Dark Elf. (Do not say that in Warcraft it only does so and so damage. Games hold no weight on the argument of the story.) Heck, in War of the Ancients a Fel Hunter latched onto him and began sucking the life out of him (any other being they had attacked were left as lifeless husks, drained of all magic and life). With willpower alone he absorbed the entire Demon, magic and life, into himself. He is able to animate ininamitae objects, summon beings of hellfire, and what exactly would protect Drizzt from a homing bolt of Pure Chaos? (Chaos Bolts pierce all defenses, even divine shields. A Chaos Bolt would punch through Kharn the Betrayers Blessing of Khorne, and go ahead Matapojo, lambaste me for herecy, lol)

    Look Drizzt losses plain and simple. Don’t get me wrong he is 1 of the best swordman from his universe but he is no match for the powerful being that inhabit the universe of warcraft. The only advantage I see Dritz having is his inherent resistance to magic and perhaps if he got his hand on Khazid’ hea he might have a chance at melee but since thats not gonna happen drizzt is as good as dead.

    Illidan would win because (assuming he can use all his magic) he could summon a shadow demon to devour the other guy’s soul.

    i would looooove for drizzit to win this because im a huge fan of drizzit do’urden BUT although drizzit has icingdeath i really doubt it could do anything more than half kill him so then illiden would let loose all of his magics upon drizzit even with extream dexterity and agility drizzit would not be able to withstand the might of illiden but if i had to choose who id want to win it would be drizzit hands down no comp also if it was only using melee weapons then illiden would be in EXTREAM peril!!!! i believe!

    I’ve read all of Salvatore’s Drizzt books. He’s without a doubt my favorite D&D/fantasy hero. Unmatched in melee combat (excepting maybe Artemis Entreri).

    I’m also a semi-hardcore PvE raider in WoW. I fought Illidan at level 70 in Black Temple. At the time, the highest level boss (until Kil’Jaeden in SWP). Hard 25 man boss fight.

    I love Drizzt, but I have to give this one to Illidan without a doubt. If the fight was strictly one on one, Illidan would destroy Drizzt.

    Drizzt has killed demons before (Mezzolith? or some 6 armed sword wielder), but he did not defeat the Balor, Errtu. Wulfgar managed to escape his icy prison that the balor had him encased in, and the barbarian stopped Errtu dead in his tracks as he was going for the finishing blow on Drizzt.

    Balors are powerful in the D&D world, but Illidan is the equivalent of a demigod if shifted to the D&D realm.

    ok, first off i have read every single book in the drizzt do’urden series by R.A. Salvatore.
    Second. i have played warcraft since it first came out (the original RTS) not wow. illidan has been around since then.
    here goes, they are BOTH elves and illidan is half demon. demonhunters are BLIND they sacrifice their sight to be able to sense demonic energies better and hunt down the very things they trained to kill.
    Drizzt is undoubtably the best swordsman to ever live, but it would definitely be illidan that rapes drizzt

    Much as I hate to say it, this match looks like another defeat for everyone’s favorite drow. While he might be able to resist Illidan’s hellfire for a short period of time with Icingdeath, all the power and magic at the half-demon’s command would be too much in the long haul. Anyone who can level cities with their power is just too high up for Drizzt to knock down.

    I am a huge fan of Drizzt and have read all the books. I on the other hand don’t know who the other guy is and don’t know the powers they have. But from reading about Drizzt and the many magical, demonic, and human/human-like spellcasters and warriors that he’s faced…. I believe he would stomp a bloddy mud hole in Illidan! I am biased though, being a long time fan of the drow elf. I know that Drizzt is super-humanly fast naturally and add to that the magical ankle bracers that allow him to move many times the speed of his natural ability; and there isn’t a spell that can catch him. :) If that isn’t enough Gwynwehvar is a HUGE astral panther that can’t die and fights like she knows exactly what Drizzt is thinking at all times. With the teamwork they have they would outsmart and eliminate any threat that Illidan can throw their way! Oh did I mention that Drizzt is an amazing duel weilding swordsman with two magical swords that protect him further. Drizzt RULEZ!

    If they fight in an open terrain Drizzt goes down, but if they fight in The Underdark where Drizzt had grown, well maybe it will be a fair fight. And i think that Drizzt would dominate with little luck.
