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. - 04/12/2012 06:01:45 AM 1899 Views

90 is REALLY high - 04/12/2012 07:25:15 AM 1281 Views
Couple of things ... **reminder that this is a lot of speculation** - 04/12/2012 04:29:50 PM 1269 Views
Narishma is definitely stronger, you're right. - 07/12/2012 03:00:53 AM 1168 Views
He was stronger than Aginor in order to channel the power of the Eye - 07/12/2012 03:00:10 PM 1185 Views
No I don't think so - 07/12/2012 04:13:48 PM 1048 Views
I'd say more than 80 - 07/12/2012 07:07:32 PM 1004 Views

Aginors defeat could be a result of multiple factors. So can Ishmaels - 07/12/2012 01:24:18 PM 1060 Views
Regardless, Rand was clearly in the same strength category when Aginor and he faced off - 07/12/2012 03:03:04 PM 1066 Views
