Not nesecarrily HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM
Standard practices became standard practices because they worked. Virtually all the standard OP battle practices, that we have seen, are indirect. When you use something that you "know" works, you often do not realise when it fails.

C armor would also not nesecarrily be apparent, so channelers would not immediately know they needed to go to more thoughtful tactics (such as blades of air through the eyeslits of a helm). In fact, the average channeler would probably assume that it is just a bunch of White Cloaks and thus without any OP defenses.

If you are used to dispatching a knot of men by waving your hand and sending a giant blade of air at chest height, when it does not work, you may well end up dead before you figure out why.

Functional Cuendillar Armor: Possible or impossible? Nargs - 10/02/2012 04:45:34 PM 1857 Views
You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion Marshall - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 1305 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* Dark Knight - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 686 Views

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 1318 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 667 Views
I rest my case. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 1218 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 1195 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 715 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 1193 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 1341 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 604 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 1221 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 1229 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item darius_sedai - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 1318 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 1184 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 1233 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 1123 Views
some simple ideas for defeating warders armoured such. LadyLorraine - 14/02/2012 09:52:41 PM 1296 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 1099 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 1228 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 1112 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 1078 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 740 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 1190 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 1188 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 1152 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 1248 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 1119 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 1091 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 1142 Views
Not accurate darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 03:54:00 PM 1229 Views
You are thinking too far inside the box HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:23:28 PM 1213 Views
I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 1151 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 1098 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 1280 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 1095 Views

No way they could pull off what you are talking about with current tech darius_sedai - 16/02/2012 01:55:19 AM 1234 Views

Re: Maybe, maybe not Fanatic-Templar - 15/02/2012 06:11:42 PM 1271 Views
I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 1124 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 1117 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 1273 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 1141 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 1122 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 1252 Views
