Mahjarrat tiers aren't just about magical might though. IIRC they're also about political power.
Which Azzanadra has far more of than Sliske who, if anything, lost all political power among the Mahjarrat once he left his only remaining allies.
Dan-i-el said :
Azzanadra is just a traditional Mahjarrat.
He's only offended by Moia because he wants to protect Mahjarrat culture.
He's shown no love for Mahjarrat culture. He was happy to spit on it and see it wither away and die in the 2nd age.

A point I'd like to make alongside this, is that Azzanadra didn't seem like himself during the quest. Azzanadra seemed rather angry, in a way like he was struggling to cope with something.
That's how he's always been.
The Mather1 said :
Hazeel, you're just straight up ignoring lore here. A firebreath from a dragonkin is nowhere near the power of a god spending all his energy in a self-destructive blast.
You're probably right, though this is really just assumption on your part. For all we know, Tumeken's explosion was no stronger than an ordinary blast and simply more wide spread. How much more powerful it is really is guesswork, not lore.
The Mather1 said :
Azzanadra is canonically the most powerful Mahjarrat still alive (and still Mahjarrat), and has been so since Temekel's death.
Zamorak, Lucien, and Sliske all surpassed him. The difference is so huge that Zamorak swatted him away like a fly and he had to call on Zaros' power, not his own, to fight Lucien and still couldn't take him down.
The Mather1 said :
His power is such that he is comparable to Nex at the peak of combat, when even the gods are said to fear her.
I'm afraid it is you who is ignoring lore. Do you know why they "feared her"? Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.
