And Daigian is more skilled than Verin based on what? Overpowering a channeler is not just shielding. Flinn tried to overwhelm Demandred and he did a good job of it.



Which is exactly what we see a vision of Alnora taking the remaining sa'angreal and walking off into the distance during Rand's reminiscence of the Age of Legends. It's also exactly what Egwene did when faced by attackers, and Alivia too.



Yes they don't think about strength, except for the fact that they're all ridiculously strong in the Power It's easy to forget about strength when you have so much of it. If Rand is only a tenth as skilled as them, it's a wonder he's killed all of them.

In fact, I don't only care about strength - I merely read the series as RJ wanted it. Nynaeve is not the only example. Rand runs headfirst at the male Forsaken and he doesn't defeat them with tremendous skill. He uses good old fashioned balefire, or fireballs or lightning. Even the Forsaken use that against Rand.

I'd love to be a skilled channeler more than a strong one, but I'm under no illusions in battle. There's almost a 100% chance that an enemy will throw their whole power at you in a single weave. It's happened again and again in the series, with very little to zero showing otherwise.

You recurrently bring these back to strength debates, but I'm merely saying that people don't get fancy when they're fighting. They use simple weaves and all their power. It's all over the series, man.



Nynaeve has still defeated Moghedien, and Moghedien is more powerful and more skilled that Egwene is, and might ever be. What can Egwene claim that is anything more than an academic example?
