Re: Female Forsaken strength : a new post -- What about Dexterity?? Tedtheman Send a noteboard - 19/11/2009 06:44:31 PM
I decided to make a new post because there are over a hundred views in the previous post and it's getting crowded. Thanks to Shannow and all the debating there - I loved all the bickering.


I love how the post had DEFINITIVE in all caps, but it's full of hemming and hawing and maybes and arguing.

Let me start off by saying that Brandon seems like a nice guy, but he shoots from the hip. He's answering things incorrectly and causing all manner of scandals. If we didn't know better about Cyndane, we'd all be in a fuss, but he's making major errors in his answers. I also find it very unlikely that the guy knows the strength tree to any reasonable degree. I'm sure he knows some landmarks, but his own words show that he's 'reasonably' this 'pretty sure' that. It's all very vague and unreliable information. It would actually be better to get a RAFO than to get wrong information based on guessing.


He may have access to things we do not, but when he is unable to look at that information, he's a lot like the rest of us. A fan who is fallible and prone to error when trying to explain minutiae from memory. I have a theory about his "little detail from books 4-6" that addresses this in part as well.

As for the OP rankings, I'm not sold on anybody's list so far.


I agree, because mostly it seems that the list has changed as the series went on, sometimes as the wind blows. Nynaeve went from "Holy crap" to "LOL so last year" back to "OMG didn't you know shes badass?".

I don't ever remember reading about the two Nynaeve strength lists (before\after or whatever) as a comment from RJ on wotmania, but I think that illustrates how other relative strengths may have changed.

I'm still harping on it but I hate that the whole Dexterity side seems to have gone by the wayside.

Female Forsaken strength : a new post Sidious - 19/11/2009 04:12:35 PM 1742 Views
Except... Etzel - 19/11/2009 04:26:32 PM 775 Views
There's no evidence for that Sidious - 19/11/2009 04:31:17 PM 732 Views
I agree with Sidious - we have no evidence at this time, so she should remain off the list kcf - 19/11/2009 04:38:31 PM 736 Views
It's common sense Etzel - 19/11/2009 04:40:01 PM 688 Views
No, it's based on absolutely nothing Sidious - 19/11/2009 04:50:30 PM 749 Views
If you agree that there are stronger damane than Alivia... Etzel - 19/11/2009 05:00:05 PM 670 Views
I didn't say that Sidious - 19/11/2009 05:07:33 PM 677 Views
Well, I think you are wrong... Etzel - 19/11/2009 05:35:27 PM 671 Views
Glad to have you back. Now for the arguments to start! Shannow - 19/11/2009 04:29:01 PM 788 Views
Hmm... Sidious - 19/11/2009 04:47:12 PM 792 Views
Actually, you are the one placing Lanfear immensely high, my list reduced the strength difference... Shannow - 19/11/2009 05:05:18 PM 864 Views
But I'm not Sidious - 19/11/2009 05:17:05 PM 764 Views
Let me ask you this... Shannow - 19/11/2009 10:13:12 PM 805 Views
Very good point *NM* Logain - 20/11/2009 01:38:55 AM 344 Views
One possibility Rand al'Thor - 20/11/2009 03:18:55 AM 746 Views
All assumption Sidious - 20/11/2009 04:11:20 AM 672 Views
Why introduce that concept, if it is just of academic importance? Shannow - 20/11/2009 07:41:54 AM 641 Views
You don't know the significance of it at all Sidious - 20/11/2009 03:14:46 PM 761 Views
Why? Shannow - 20/11/2009 03:17:51 PM 1281 Views
Re: Why? Sidious - 20/11/2009 04:30:50 PM 627 Views
How can you argue in such a way and still keep a straight face (presumably)... Shannow - 20/11/2009 05:07:39 PM 671 Views

Is Graendal the only Forsaken NOT to overstate her own ability then? Shannow - 21/11/2009 01:53:28 PM 763 Views
Probably not in this case Sidious - 21/11/2009 11:34:25 PM 644 Views
Your rankings hinge ENTIRELY on whether you have Graendal correctly placed. Logain - 20/11/2009 03:24:22 PM 594 Views
Yeah... entirely Sidious - 20/11/2009 04:33:45 PM 627 Views
Okay, "entirely" was a bad choice of word. Logain - 20/11/2009 09:57:52 PM 641 Views

This perfectly matches my understanding of the situation. Rand al'Thor - 19/11/2009 07:06:31 PM 625 Views
Seems good, except I'd bunch up the upper levels and place Nynaeve a little higher. *NM* fionwe1987 - 19/11/2009 09:46:16 PM 391 Views
Agreed! This make more sense than the previous list *NM* Basara - 20/11/2009 12:07:37 AM 393 Views
Too many levels Rurouni_Kenshin - 20/11/2009 01:48:24 AM 748 Views
You are completely right about too many levels. Logain - 20/11/2009 04:17:17 AM 629 Views
21 levels is largely a myth kcf - 20/11/2009 04:27:27 AM 636 Views

That's good to know. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 20/11/2009 07:56:41 PM 612 Views
I have to disagree for a couple of reasons. Logain - 20/11/2009 04:14:40 AM 767 Views
I thought of something else to support my upper limit theory on gateways Logain - 20/11/2009 01:53:05 PM 753 Views

more hopefully to come kcf - 20/11/2009 08:15:00 PM 612 Views
Thanks KCF, that's a great question to ask. Shannow - 20/11/2009 08:28:32 PM 854 Views
I'm the same way. I should be studying for law school finals, but I'm distracted. *NM* Logain - 20/11/2009 09:45:46 PM 308 Views
A little more evidence that Nynaeve is stronger than Semirhage darius_sedai - 29/11/2009 12:12:37 AM 641 Views
I agree that Graendal is the 2nd most powerful woman Forsaken darius_sedai - 29/11/2009 04:07:00 PM 604 Views
