Guild Wars 2

with help of sylvaries he will be. if scarlet was able to level a city to ground(l.a) or the sylvari on zepherite ship can go crazy (most probably due to mordermoth corruption because he lost connection to pale tree) and alone destroy the ship. NOW what if morderrmoth finally breaks the pale tree resistance and take over the mind of all sylvari. that would be end of not just triya but beyond as we know it.
why?
because mordermoth has minions who did not lost their mind and can have battle strategy, use weakness of their enemy against them. SMART minions are most dangerous army a dragon can have.
because of numbers: a corrupted pale tree give rise to adult sylvari who are ready for combat maybe few hours after waking up. while other races need years to make their children combat ready.

so far all minion of other dragons are brain dead. and even son of svanir are not that smart and their number is low.
so all those thing i mentioned makes sylvaries the most dangerous threat triya and even beyond is going to face IF place tree is defeated by mordermoth.

Good, I like my veggies fried… sometimes.

OP, you disprove your own point in your statement. if sylvari are a threat because mord corrupts them, then mord is still the bigger threat. personally, i believe that mord is considered the biggest threat of all the EDs because he 1) is so far the most aggresive of them all, seeing as he’s attacking the iron marches, which is pretty far from maguuma in general, 2) because he seems to be capable of corrupting an entire race without ever touching them, or looking at them funny, and 3) because he’s possibly much closer to any city than the others. kralk is somewhere to the east (i think, probably wrong, i’m not a major lore buff, somebody correct me if im wrong on his possible location), jormag is waaaaaay north, primordius is underground somewhere, in theory still fighting the dwarves, and we don’t even know bubbles’ name or what his minions look like. so i’d say mord is the bigger threat, not a race who doesn’t exactly ask to be corrupted.
Edit: also, scarlet had an army, and a giant drill, she didn’t level LA on her own, and aerin had grenades, on a ship made of bamboo……..one grenade and that sucker’s going down

That would still make Mordremoth the greatest threat.

If it corrupts the Pale Tree and makes all the Sylvari his minions, all the horrible actions the Sylvari would commit are Mordremoth’s actions by extension, since they are all under his control.

i find it hilarious how now, after you’re point is disproven OP, you just change the name of the thread and change the argument a tiny bit. he is still the greatest threat simply because he CAN corrupt an entire race without going near them it seems. even sons of svanir have to go out of their way to find corruption to take in, mord just thinks it and it happens it seems. he alone IS the greatest threat. also, sylvari are outnumbered by far by all the other races anyway, and they’re the least warlike. charr alone would wipe them if they all turned, so we don’t need a pre-emptive strike, and they won’t make mord more powerful.

i changed the title because people did not understood my point so i changed it for better understanding. nothing unusual here.
mordermoth needed scarlet to wake him up, and he got lucky omad made that machine and scarlet went in or he would have been still in sleep. and posing no threat.
aerin actions and behavior is similar to scarlet (zyphraite ship incident) mordermoth need some kind of power from them and he needs sylvaries to get it for him.
all that being said. without sylvaries mordermoth would have been still in sleep. so yes he needs them.

No, it didn’t need Scarlet to wake up (for all we know Scarlet was trying to stop it from waking up).

Elder Dragons can wake up on their own, it just takes a bit longer. ´

stop it?!!
by redirecting flow of magic(ley lines) right where he is. did you play the LS1 final chapter? did you see the cut scene?

Yes, I know what happened. But do you know that it was the thing she planned?
For all we know she miscalculated.

And the fact still remains that Elder Dragons CAN wake up on their own without outside help.

even if we accept that mord couldn’t wake up without an outside influence helping, it still means mord is the bigger threat, since he corrupted someone while sleeping and without the use of a champion. also, the whole “he needs something from them” is illogical, by that logic zhaitain isn’t (wasn’t) a threat, and neither are any of the other EDs, since every single one of them has servants (like scarlet and aerin, or destroyers, or icebrood) who go and do things for them because they personally cannot. and as lordkrall said, the EDs can wake up on their own, and yes, scarlet could have been trying to stop it, can’t always be a genius and get every calculation right. (though still don’t like her, don’t care if it turns out she made an ED nuke or something)
Edit: i am not trying to be a jerk, i’m just trying to help you see the holes in your logic, just like there are holes in the logic of how our characters suddenly know mordremoth’s name

If I’m not mistaken every other ED woke up on their own, and Mordremoth only woke up early

Other dragons can have smart minions. Sure, the rank and file are pretty slow, but the champions show evidence of high intelligence. There is also evidence that the higher ranking minions don’t completely lose their minds.

There’s nothing to stop Jormag corrupting very smart (and powerful) Norn and using them as minions.
