* The quest the "A Traitor's Due". The player along with Thrall, Draka, and the Primus deal with [[TheMole Vyraz]] and Helya. They take out Vyraz for betraying Krexus, and the Primus sends Helya back to Helheim.
-->'''Primus''': It is time to deprive the Jailer of his underling.
-->'''Helya''': Underling?! Helya is no one's underling! I will not be silenced! I will not be imprisoned! My wrath shall haunt your--(Zap)

Moments pages are Spoilers Off. Also added the conclusion of the assault on the wellspring


* [[spoiler: Vyranoth]] calling out Odyn for his multiple horrible actions and sheer [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] of splitting with the other Keepers over empowering the Aspects only to take the Storm Drakes as effectively pets, indicating the only reason he didn't agree with creating the Aspects was because he [[FantasticRacism didn't want to see any dragons as his equals]]. Not only is it satisfying to see someone finally bring Odyn to task for all his misdeeds, including his treatment of Helya, to the point even Eyir sides with them, but [[spoiler: Vyranoth also freezes Odyn solid to cap it off before convincing the storm drakes to join the rest of the Valdrakken Accord in the Dragon Isles.]]

* When Fyrakk assaults the temple of the wellspring, Alexstrasza manages to destroy the wards that keep most of the allied forces out of the Emerald Dream - Fyrakk nails her with an attack from behind, and goes in for the kill... when an ''axe'' flies in to parry the blow at range - ''Thrall's'' axe. And he's just the first of the reinforcements that have now made it to the Emerald Dream in defense of the blooming world tree. What follows is a scene straight out of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': [[GondorCallsForAid the Night Elves and Green Dragonflight had called for aid]], and now ''they get it''.
** At the beginning of ''Dragonflight'', Alexstrasza was firm that no foreign armies be brought to the Dragon Isles - both factions decide to sends their ''[[LoopholeAbuse leaders]]'' instead, and these leaders get to show off that in a [[TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed world like Azeroth]], you [[RankScalesWithAsskicking don't become a leader without being able to back it up with martial prowess]].
*** Genn, Tess, and Celestine show up because [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe The worgen owe the Night Elves big time for their aid during the Cataclysm]], and it just [[GoodFeelGood feels nice to fight for a home instead of fleeing one]].
*** Lillian Voss and Lor'themar Theron show up because they both feel complicit in Teldrassil's destruction, having stood with Sylvanas, and they both feel this [[TheAtoner is just the first step on the road to redemption]].
*** Velen and Tyralion stand behind the front lines, the former healing the wounded while the latter fends off raids of enemies that would threaten him
*** Rexxar and his pets, Rokhan, and Chen Stormstout stand together with Baine Bloodhoof in a four-way BackToBackBadasses. They're practically surrounded, and yet they quip like four BashBrothers - This is not the first time three of them fight together, and the fourth is more than capable of filling his father's hoofprints: [[ConservationOfNinjitsu it's clear that the enemies don't stand a chance]].
*** Meanwhile, Tyrande teams up with Jaina and Thrall - they stand, once more, in the defense of a world tree, and it's clear that none of them have lost their touch.
*** Khadgar keeps his promise to Kalecgos by ensuring the portal bringing in reinforcements remain open. The mortal races are, indeed, answering the call.
** While no foreign armies arrive to defend the world tree, the ''natives'' are more than willing to step up to the plate - Tuskarr get into the fray, Niffen strike from below, the Centaur lay down volleys of archery fire - and their leaders get into the fray as well.
*** Depowered as the aspects are, absolutely ''none'' of them is backing down from this: Nozdormu, Merithra, Alexstrasza, and Ebonhorn - the latter of which is rocking a new aspect model - keep the skies clear while Kalecgos has entire sections of the battlefield occupied with mirror images.
*** Sabellian and Wrathion affirm that their relationship is that of BashBrothers - sure they may bicker, but they're ''family'', and fight together.
*** The Dracthyr, Neltharion's army, is back together - and their leaders affirm that though they are free to make their own path, they ''absolutely'' stand for Azeroth, regardless of faction allegiance.
*** Chromie, Eternus, Stellagosa, and Tyrygosa have all answered their respective aspects' call, fighting together for the sake of Azeroth.
** The sheer force of the Defenders of the Dream is enough to cause Fyrakk to become desperate and do something he was loathe to do before: expend his ''own'' power to breach the wellspring temple. The barrier takes three ''mighty'' swings before it goes down, and the resulting raid makes it clear that Fyrakk is ''fleeing'' from the onslaught, as even empowered with shadowflame, he knows he is no match.

** The ''[[https://wow.gamepedia.com/Warlock_quests#Level_60:_Summon_Dreadsteed Dreadsteed of Xoroth]]'' quest chain for Warlocks. Over the course of the adventure you mass murder creatures created by the moon goddess and collect their blood, infiltrate the Shadow Council, rip out an orc's heart, wreak havoc across two dungeons, fight off an army of demons as you prepare a portal, and kill a Dreadlord so you can steal his horse. Your reward? Quite possibly the [[HellishHorse coolest looking mount in the game ever made]].
** The ''[[https://wow.gamepedia.com/Paladin_quests#Level_60_Summoning_the_Charger_.28Summon_Charger.29 Summoning the Charger]]'' quest chain for Paladins. It involves exorcising the town of Terrodale, getting holy water from Stratholme - the heart of the Scourge in the Eastern Kingdoms and a dungeon all in itself - and save an ancient equine spirit from Dire Maul to bless your barding. After all that, you have to combine the barding, the censer and two diamonds together. After that, you actually invade Scholomance, an entire school of necromancers, all just to get a death knight's attention, kill him and free his charger. That's right, you ''steal a death knight's warhorse by raiding an school of necromancers and killing him in there''. Your reward? A epic, glowly, heavily armored warhorse that literally came back from the dead.

** The remixed Shieldwall[=/=]Dominance zone in general, It's basically TheWarSequence, except ''permanent'', on multiple fronts, with players on ''both'' sides. The Alliance going Normandy beach on the Horde base from [[AirborneAircraftCarrier The Skyfire]]? A full-out frontal assault on Lion's landing? Both happening ''at the same time''? Yeah, all that and various secondary conflicts going on in just about everywhere else in the battlefield.
* The climax of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms when you hit exalted is perhaps the coolest battle since the Death Knight starting zone, It starts with you checking on Zhi the Harmonious to find he's been killed, and the helm of the Thunder King has been taken from you, after fending off an ambush you return to Leven to find that the entirety of the Shao-tien army has arrived and is overwhelming the defenders. Leven sends you out expecting this to be the last stand, when a few kills in, the [[PhysicalGod August Celestials]] arrive and empower you, from there, you tread into the vale at full power and proceed to ''[[OneManArmy single-handedly destroy the entire Shao-tien army with almost zero effort]]''. After this, you and Leven take the battle to the Mogu leader, Zhin the Bloodletter, the SmugSnake who's been rubbing your "inferiority" in your face during every main event in the quest series, and finish him off after a (Surprisingly difficult for this game) fight, you return to the Terrace where you get your dailies and are hailed as a hero by everyone in the vale.
