81 then Sidious Send a noteboard - 07/12/2012 08:11:34 PM
Be'lal was clearly weary of his strength in TDR even before Callandor.

We have no indication that Be'lal was ever weary of Rand.

and the Forsaken discuss him "being as strong as anyone" early in the series ...

Lanfear says that to mess with their minds, and to bait Sammael and Rahvin. We know that he eventually becomes as strong as any channeler, but we know for a fact that Rahvin equalled Rand in strength at the end of FoH, and yet stronger men existed.

the Forsaken would not have been all that concerned about him because of his lack of training if he wasn't already at least as strong as most of them.

They've never really been scared of him, which is why they're dead. Rand sometimes mentions how strong he is compared to them - those are the quotes I used. RJ said you can't trust Forsaken PoV's.

Asmodean is most likely the weakest of the males, but he's not that far off of them despite being a total wuss of a person :)

Yes but that's your theory, Darius, it's not fact. Asmodean could be 20% weaker than Ishamael of 3% weaker. We just don't know. I personally think he's between 80 and 90.

I really hate to bring up strength in the OP, but thankfully it doesn't regard Egwene or any women. DREWRULESWOT! - 04/12/2012 06:01:45 AM 1976 Views
My thoughts Sidious - 04/12/2012 07:15:44 AM 1384 Views
90 is REALLY high DREWRULESWOT! - 04/12/2012 07:25:15 AM 1353 Views
Couple of things ... **reminder that this is a lot of speculation** darius_sedai - 04/12/2012 04:29:50 PM 1343 Views
Narishma is definitely stronger, you're right. DREWRULESWOT! - 07/12/2012 03:00:53 AM 1237 Views
He was stronger than Aginor in order to channel the power of the Eye darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:00:10 PM 1271 Views
No I don't think so Sidious - 07/12/2012 04:13:48 PM 1130 Views
I'd say more than 80 darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:07:32 PM 1075 Views
81 then Sidious - 07/12/2012 08:11:34 PM 1001 Views
and that's just YOUR theory Sidius darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 09:13:42 PM 1065 Views
Re: and that's just YOUR theory Sidius Sidious - 07/12/2012 10:14:53 PM 1138 Views
there were more like MILLIONS of Forsaken during these times darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 10:30:34 PM 1099 Views
Re: and that's just YOUR theory Sidius RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2012 08:44:51 PM 928 Views
Aginors defeat could be a result of multiple factors. So can Ishmaels Onarishma - 07/12/2012 01:24:18 PM 1157 Views
Regardless, Rand was clearly in the same strength category when Aginor and he faced off darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:03:04 PM 1152 Views
I disagree. Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:55:43 PM 1033 Views
Aginor burned out trying to use the Eye in the real world darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:12:44 PM 1090 Views
Re: Aginor burned out trying to use the Eye in the real world Onarishma - 07/12/2012 07:51:37 PM 1052 Views
he faced Asmodean strength for strength before Rahvin darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 09:23:42 PM 1134 Views
Just to be a bitch Sidious - 07/12/2012 10:17:11 PM 962 Views
you don't actually have to tell us all you are a bitch darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 10:36:25 PM 1138 Views
*NM* Sidious - 08/12/2012 06:22:49 AM 954 Views
He didn't face Asmodean he chased him and wrestled him over a sa'angreal. Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:16:18 PM 1180 Views
Asmo hurled plenty of stuff at Rand during the "Chase" it wasnt all that much different darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 03:16:36 AM 1033 Views
I disagree with your plenty cause no one was TRYING to crush him. *NM* Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:13:12 PM 606 Views
as I said before ... your interpretations are yours to have ... as are mine. *NM* darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:36 PM 518 Views
think youre misjudgjng the benefits of the link. they dont have to add up to 90. Onarishma - 07/12/2012 12:34:59 PM 1100 Views
There is also no why to tell if Flinn hit Demandred with all the strength available to him either darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:05:38 PM 1081 Views
the "circle" was stronger but the individuals weren't *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:58:38 PM 630 Views
that's what I just said *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:23:34 PM 569 Views
that was not clear *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 07:43:54 PM 668 Views

Re: *shrug* Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:27:42 PM 1051 Views
If I had said the individuals in the circle added to Dmandreds strength perhaps darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 03:28:23 AM 1102 Views
in the context of this discussion you did not distinguish between the effective strength and Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:10:48 PM 1017 Views
whatever ... didn't think it was necessary ... and with that I'm done darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:03 PM 985 Views

Re: Perhaps fionwe1987 - 08/12/2012 02:06:39 AM 1094 Views
Like I said ... Could be darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 02:33:43 AM 1071 Views
I disagree... fionwe1987 - 08/12/2012 04:53:09 AM 1033 Views

I disagree again! fionwe1987 - 08/12/2012 05:49:15 AM 1025 Views
Probably darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 02:46:15 PM 1070 Views
Re: Probably fionwe1987 - 09/12/2012 07:51:59 PM 1075 Views

I don't think the Forsaken are good examples Sidious - 08/12/2012 06:18:45 AM 1090 Views
We're essentially saying the same thing now darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 02:37:17 PM 1036 Views
Re: I don't think the Forsaken are good examples RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/12/2012 08:08:21 PM 951 Views
Always thought the forsaken didn't really know much about Rand TheCrownless - 08/12/2012 02:38:08 AM 1107 Views
And they had plenty of spies around him and clearly knew that he managed darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 02:43:15 AM 1020 Views

Who can say. Graendal wraps them so deep in compulsion that she can dig darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 05:42:39 AM 1081 Views
I don't think they could have had a clear idea of his strength eary in the series... Narg - 08/12/2012 09:34:36 AM 1196 Views
