Probably darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 08/12/2012 02:46:15 PM
I don't think someone somewhat weaker than the Foresaken needs MUCH more skill than the Foresaken to threaten them. Such a person doesn't even need more skill at all. If your skill is Foresaken level, and you're not much weaker, you're a threat. Will the stronger Foresaken have an advantage? Obviously. Will they simply be able to overwhelm you? No.

For example, I don't think Egwene is currently more skillful than the Foresaken. But in a head on duel, she's going to be a challenge to face, and its probably the greater knowledge of the Foresaken that will save the day, not their extra skill.


Although I'd say knowledge and skill amount to the same thing here. The point being Egwene has enough of a strength and skill combination to not be easy meat, but in the end the stronger, more experienced Channeler is going to win out. The only way someone like Egwene poses a threat to one of the Forsaken (angreal etc aside) is is they have significantly more skill/knowledge to fall back on. I think Cadsuane level could be a threat with enough skill, hard to say if Moiraine's level could stand a chance though. I'm inclined to say not against someone with the skill of the Forsaken, but against someone like Alivia probably.

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 1984 Views
My thoughts Sidious - 04/12/2012 07:15:44 AM 1390 Views
90 is REALLY high DREWRULESWOT! - 04/12/2012 07:25:15 AM 1357 Views
Couple of things ... **reminder that this is a lot of speculation** darius_sedai - 04/12/2012 04:29:50 PM 1348 Views
Narishma is definitely stronger, you're right. DREWRULESWOT! - 07/12/2012 03:00:53 AM 1242 Views
He was stronger than Aginor in order to channel the power of the Eye darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 03:00:10 PM 1277 Views
No I don't think so Sidious - 07/12/2012 04:13:48 PM 1137 Views
I'd say more than 80 darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:07:32 PM 1081 Views
81 then Sidious - 07/12/2012 08:11:34 PM 1005 Views
and that's just YOUR theory Sidius darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 09:13:42 PM 1068 Views
Re: and that's just YOUR theory Sidius Sidious - 07/12/2012 10:14:53 PM 1148 Views
there were more like MILLIONS of Forsaken during these times darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 10:30:34 PM 1107 Views

Aginors defeat could be a result of multiple factors. So can Ishmaels Onarishma - 07/12/2012 01:24:18 PM 1161 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 1157 Views
I disagree. Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:55:43 PM 1040 Views
Aginor burned out trying to use the Eye in the real world darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:12:44 PM 1094 Views

he faced Asmodean strength for strength before Rahvin darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 09:23:42 PM 1139 Views
Just to be a bitch Sidious - 07/12/2012 10:17:11 PM 965 Views
you don't actually have to tell us all you are a bitch darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 10:36:25 PM 1146 Views
*NM* Sidious - 08/12/2012 06:22:49 AM 961 Views
He didn't face Asmodean he chased him and wrestled him over a sa'angreal. Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:16:18 PM 1185 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 1039 Views
I disagree with your plenty cause no one was TRYING to crush him. *NM* Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:13:12 PM 610 Views
as I said before ... your interpretations are yours to have ... as are mine. *NM* darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:36 PM 521 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 1105 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 1084 Views
the "circle" was stronger but the individuals weren't *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 06:58:38 PM 633 Views
that's what I just said *NM* darius_sedai - 07/12/2012 07:23:34 PM 575 Views
that was not clear *NM* Onarishma - 07/12/2012 07:43:54 PM 671 Views

Re: *shrug* Onarishma - 10/12/2012 11:27:42 PM 1056 Views
If I had said the individuals in the circle added to Dmandreds strength perhaps darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 03:28:23 AM 1107 Views
in the context of this discussion you did not distinguish between the effective strength and Onarishma - 11/12/2012 07:10:48 PM 1023 Views
whatever ... didn't think it was necessary ... and with that I'm done darius_sedai - 11/12/2012 09:16:03 PM 989 Views

I don't think the Forsaken are good examples Sidious - 08/12/2012 06:18:45 AM 1097 Views
We're essentially saying the same thing now darius_sedai - 08/12/2012 02:37:17 PM 1042 Views

Always thought the forsaken didn't really know much about Rand TheCrownless - 08/12/2012 02:38:08 AM 1112 Views
