It's better to claim that your character was part of a large force assaulting the minions of a primal rather than portraying someone who was part of the elite strike force that managed to kill one of the higher beings themselves.
This is an MMO, meaning there's literally hundreds of other role-players to consider for potential interaction. No role-player is deserving of being given the right to claim that their character is somehow much more powerful than everyone else's and has numerous feats reserved for faceless/nameless heroes in the canon lore under their own belt.
Sure, they can be revived but bringing them back is a lengthy and usually quite a costly ritual for their worshippers and servants. Their emergence is seemingly quite rare judging by the main story. It's perfectly possible to tell a compelling story and gain vengeance on a 'big bad' without being the hero of the hour.
