That's nonsense. Nothing says other weaves are not similarly enhanced. fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 03/01/2010 07:29:06 PM
I'm pointing out that we know for fact that male/female links are more potent.

We know that 13 women combined made a HUGE gateway

We know that 4 women linked (unless they are very very strong) do not equal Rand

There is a disconnect here if linking gives such mega bonuses ... 4 women of any strength should be able to manhandle Rand.



There is no disconnect. You must simply accept the fact that linking gains in the creation of gateways are far greater than linking gains in other areas of channeling.

Four Kin linked would struggle to defeat Egwene. But they can make a gateway almost as large as Rand.

That's just a peculiarity of gateways, introduced by RJ for reasons only he knew. Adding more people to a circle enlarges gateways to a greater extent than their strength contribution should warrant.

Simple proof that you are wrong... fionwe1987 - 02/01/2010 04:17:25 PM 1047 Views
linking gives you a huge advantage for gateways Oberonus - 02/01/2010 04:49:06 PM 747 Views
And your proof for that? fionwe1987 - 02/01/2010 06:08:24 PM 715 Views
Shannow gave the proof in his 2nd/3rd post *NM* Oberonus - 02/01/2010 09:26:03 PM 312 Views

No... Shannow - 02/01/2010 05:38:52 PM 698 Views
Actually, it is even greater than I thought... Shannow - 02/01/2010 07:45:37 PM 643 Views
Further proof that the Gateway theory on strength is not accurate darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 02:08:17 AM 615 Views
but.... Sidious - 03/01/2010 09:17:46 AM 684 Views
You are talking of a Mixed link darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 02:35:01 PM 589 Views
Irrespective of what you find "improbable", the rest of us have to stick to the evidence... Shannow - 03/01/2010 03:11:55 PM 588 Views
Indeed Sidious - 03/01/2010 04:04:15 PM 629 Views
Who said I was arguing that? darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 05:26:34 PM 590 Views
You are confusing linking gains in gateways with normal linking gains... Shannow - 03/01/2010 06:49:04 PM 570 Views

I agree Sidious - 03/01/2010 07:33:07 PM 567 Views
But not to the same extent as with gateways... Shannow - 03/01/2010 07:49:15 PM 1218 Views
It's a Talent on top of the linking gains darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 08:11:01 PM 543 Views
This begs the question... Why can't four Aes Sedai defeat Rand? fionwe1987 - 03/01/2010 05:02:32 PM 692 Views
Not to mention 1 Beonin can create a gateway 1/4 the size of Rand darius_sedai - 05/01/2010 05:22:24 AM 621 Views
Too simplistic overall darius_sedai - 03/01/2010 01:32:28 AM 779 Views
