Let's say you're in a cave, and both of these items are laying next to each other. You have to pick up one them. Which cursed item would you prefer to be corrupted by?

One Ring

Pros:

You can turn invisible
Potential to dominate the wills of others and become an all around badass
Live longer
Other random-ass shit

Cons:

Gonna fuck you up over time.
You'll probably only be able to turn invisible.

Frostmourne

Pros:

Death Knight powers
Command the dead
Shatters most other weapons on contact

Cons:

Soul drained on contact
Slave of Lich King

PushTheButtonMax · May 29, 2017

I would pick up the ring and go on a grand adventure with a group of people of various heights.

Rhomega Beta · May 29, 2017

The One Ring. Arthas became the biggest threat to Azeroth because of that sword.

Sir_Crocodile · May 29, 2017

Is Frostmourne from the Warcraft 3 expansion?

That dude was the strongest hero in the main game, but he was weak as hell in the expansion, that sword sucks. I'd go with the ring.

mikeGFG · May 29, 2017

You kidding me? Frostmourne, baby.

crimzonflame · May 29, 2017

I thought the One Ring had different powers depending on who wore it?

Mivey · May 29, 2017

I'm not so sure about the One Ring. Read a bad review on the net from someone named "tbombadil" and he wrote the ring didn't do anything for him. Maybe they send fakes around?

wamberz1 · May 29, 2017

If the question is to be like Gollum or Arthas, pretty sure I'm going Arthas.

Daingurse · May 29, 2017

I'd just flip a coin, because both of those choices sound terrible. Either item would easily take me over.

Gai Murakumo · May 29, 2017

I would go with Frostmourne over the One Ring anyday. Sure you have to serve the Lich King but the rest of the stuff you get is much better in my opinion.

SolVanderlyn · May 29, 2017

Uhhh considering both confirm the existence of a soul, I'd want to keep my eternal life even if my temporary one gets fucked up. The ring.

EmiPrime · May 29, 2017

Frostmourne hungers...

RPG_Fanatic · May 29, 2017

I would use a stick to put the one ring on Frostmourne and watch what happens.

thecosmicfly · May 29, 2017

My answer depends entirely on the state of the world. If we're talking about today then of course the One Ring, imagine all the shenanigans you could get up to with it. It's also easier to wear around in public as oppose to a huge ass frozen sword. Now if the bombs begin to drop and the world turns apocalyptic? Frostmourne it is. I'll have more use commanding a legion of undead and being able to freerange murder folk with a sword in a lawless land than turning invisible to sneak into game developer companies to leak video game news.

AgentLampshade · May 29, 2017

What use do I have for a super dagger/sword? I'll take the ring and poke Saurons eye out so he can't snoop on me.

UnemployedVillain · May 29, 2017

IIRC the one ring's ability reflects the nature of its wearer, that's why Hobbits, small creatures that are usually risk and adventure adverse, turned invisible. A human wearing it probably wouldn't
edit: Clearly I was mistaken, which makes me wonder where I even heard this

Forerunner · May 29, 2017

A ring or a badass sword?

Yeah, really.

WaterAstro · May 29, 2017

I would pick Frostmourne since Ner'zhul used to be a good guy, so I might be able to convince him to be a good guy again.

If DBZ taught me anything, it is that fusion is cooler than being bald and scrawny under the whims of Sauron.

Dude Abides · May 29, 2017

The one ring. Warcraft lore is lame.

Wiseblade · May 29, 2017

Frostmourne, easily. Doesn't Arthas kill and replace the Lich King anyway?

Proelite · May 29, 2017

LOTR apes Warcraft. So Forstmourne because Blizzard has the creativity factor. Tolkien is a talentless hack.

Abilidebob · May 29, 2017

Can I become bros with THE BEST dude in the Warcraft universe?

If yes, indubitably Frostmourne.

AgentLampshade · May 29, 2017

If I become a Naz'gul, I also get a dragon. So far, so One Ring.

This makes no sense, Bilbo loved adventure.

iPaul93 · May 29, 2017

The one ring and it's not even close.

Can anyone confirm this? I thought the invisibility thing was a universal power of the ring.

It's been a while since I read the books, but I vaguely recall Isildur being killed when the ring slipped off his finger and revelead him to the Orcs. He was trying to swim through a river protected by the ring's invisibility or something.

Arthas got the sword at the end of the human campaign in Warcraft 3. He starts losing power in the expansion when Illidan started to messing with the Lich King home in the north.

You could also get a dragon as a death knight

Christine · May 29, 2017

That's a trash tier cursed demonic sword

This. If I understand correctly, picking Frostmourne essentially erases "you".

LumpOfCole · May 29, 2017

I'd look too much like a mall ninja edgelord carrying a Frostmourne around. I think I'd rather go for the One Ring.

Well it puts "you" in the sword.

You turn invisible in the real world, but also light up like a beacon in the Ethereal Plane/Unseen World/whatever it's called so that Sauron and his goons can find you.

The One Ring sucks unless you are Sauron.

You're not going to pick up Jaina with an attitude like that.

WaterAstro · May 29, 2017

Frostmourne can stop Global Warming with its powers. Can the One Ring do that? /s

The ring doesn't affect Tom because he's most likely God in their world.

fredrancour · May 29, 2017

The one ring sucks unless you're sauron or someone strong enough to replace him, but I'd sure love to try thermite on it.

Though exploring mt doom alternatives isn't in the scope of this thread

I think I like you.

Haly · May 29, 2017

Unless you're already a being of power the ring doesn't do much for you and just turns you into a semi-immortal crack addict who can go invisible from time to time.

Frostmourne is the better deal overall if you can get over killing all your loved ones and raising them as zombies.

Escape Goat · May 29, 2017

I choose to succumb to the dark side of the Force.

SpaceWolf · May 29, 2017

Pros:
Death Knight powers
Command the dead
Shatters most other weapons on contact

Cons:
Soul drained on contact
Slave of Lich King

I don't know what these mean.

It also starts Global Undeading. I hope you enjoy being a mindless undead.

Kinyou · May 29, 2017

Should probably add to the one ring that having it means that Sauron will constantly be up your ass

I'll take Kel'Thuzad and Anub'arak as buddies over any of those living losers.

hamchan · May 29, 2017

Bilbo seemed to live a pretty damn good life while holding the ring.

Meanwhile don't you just sit on a throne in a cold place while you hold Frostmourne? Seems bad.

zeemumu · May 29, 2017

The first one means that you're a necromancer but you're also a knight

The 2nd one means that you gotta take orders from some armor in a block of ice

Not at all. Arthas travelled all over the world and experienced all kinds of wacky adventures once he got Frostmorne. He just chose to retire after that, kinda like Bilbo did in Rivendell.
