you don't actually have to tell us all you are a bitch darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 07/12/2012 10:36:25 PM
Asmodean is further proof that your theory on Forsaken skill is unconvincing. Much like Moghedien/Nynaeve, Rand overwhelmed Asmodean despite having the same strength and no training.


that is a joke to be clear!

Asmodean and Moghedien are clearly the least skilled of the Forsaken ... or perhaps just the laziest ... and RJ made some very bad choices in this part of the series ... IMO it's these two examples that are the primary reason the Forsaken as a whole seem so silly. Here we have people who are supposed to be the among the most skilled people of the Age and they don't even try to do anything interesting ... epic fail IMO. But in RJs defense, he needed to illustrate how strong Rand and Nynaeve are and he couldn't very well have them get their asses handed to them by a Forsaken!

I think the Cleansing scene with Cyndane/Alivia was an attempt to make up for that a bit.

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 1931 Views
My thoughts Sidious - 04/12/2012 07:15:44 AM 1345 Views
90 is REALLY high DREWRULESWOT! - 04/12/2012 07:25:15 AM 1306 Views
Couple of things ... **reminder that this is a lot of speculation** darius_sedai - 04/12/2012 04:29:50 PM 1304 Views
Narishma is definitely stronger, you're right. DREWRULESWOT! - 07/12/2012 03:00:53 AM 1195 Views
He was stronger than Aginor in order to channel the power of the Eye darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:00:10 PM 1221 Views
No I don't think so Sidious - 07/12/2012 04:13:48 PM 1087 Views
I'd say more than 80 darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:07:32 PM 1035 Views
81 then Sidious - 07/12/2012 08:11:34 PM 950 Views
and that's just YOUR theory Sidius darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 09:13:42 PM 1020 Views

there were more like MILLIONS of Forsaken during these times darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 10:30:34 PM 1042 Views

Aginors defeat could be a result of multiple factors. So can Ishmaels Onarishma - 07/12/2012 01:24:18 PM 1091 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 1100 Views
I disagree. Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:55:43 PM 989 Views

He didn't face Asmodean he chased him and wrestled him over a sa'angreal. Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:16:18 PM 1136 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 981 Views
I disagree with your plenty cause no one was TRYING to crush him. *NM* Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:13:12 PM 578 Views
as I said before ... your interpretations are yours to have ... as are mine. *NM* darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:36 PM 491 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 1038 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 1013 Views
the "circle" was stronger but the individuals weren't *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:58:38 PM 603 Views
that's what I just said *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:23:34 PM 544 Views
that was not clear *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 07:43:54 PM 628 Views

Re: *shrug* Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:27:42 PM 1014 Views
If I had said the individuals in the circle added to Dmandreds strength perhaps darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 03:28:23 AM 1056 Views
in the context of this discussion you did not distinguish between the effective strength and Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:10:48 PM 970 Views
whatever ... didn't think it was necessary ... and with that I'm done darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:03 PM 931 Views

I don't think the Forsaken are good examples Sidious - 08/12/2012 06:18:45 AM 1036 Views
We're essentially saying the same thing now darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 02:37:17 PM 989 Views
