Over and over again, until too few of us remain to fight them. He graduated the Warden academy, got a letter of recommendation from the Jailer in the maw, and is now taking on his first job as Sargeras prison buddy. Whether it takes a few years or millennia, the Legion will return. Illidans' 10 000 year long internship with Maiev is at an end. In Tomb of Sargeras he even says ''Illidan Stormrage says: Sealing the portal buys us nothing, archmage.

So in short Illidan had witnessed something no one else had seen and he was able to understand the grand scale of the threat from the Legion which he was correct about. Claim 5 Lingering Soul Fragments from the final bosses of Legion dungeons.Higher difficulty dungeons provide a greater chance and quantity of Lingering Soul. Skullbearer Illidan could be obtained through Skullbearer Illidan bundle, which also contained 5 Demon Hunter card packs and was available from 10AM PT. Illidan saw the endless threat the Burning Legion was and did ANYTHING to make sure they are stopped once and for all so it was never about himself becoming more powerful for ''Coolness'' but to able to achieve his quest that no one else have witnessed except his fellow Demon Hunters (I believe in Illidan book Kayn also saw the same visions?) Illidan when he accepted the Gift from Sargeras to become a Demon Hunter did get the ability to see ALL FORCES of the Burning Legion, across all planets they are conquering and have conquered. I love it how everyone who dislike Illidan goes on about ''sacrificing others to obtain power.'' sentence is utter bullcrap.

Wow legion ptr retreiving illidan
