Re: Strength versus Skill in battle ... Skill wins. fairfax Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 05:09:27 AM
It really depends on the difference in skill level. The skill level of the Forsaken is so much greater than the skill level of present day Randland Aes Sedai. But overall strength would make a bigger difference.

A half dead Moghedien overwhelmed Liandrin using the disparity in their strengths.

At the cleansing the present day Aes Sedai narrowed the strength gap with the Forsaken by linking and the use of Callandor. Even with the huge disparity in skill level the Forsaken were driven off by the Caddy and friends.

Egwene/Elayne/Aviendha are all more skilled than Nyneave (except in healing). In a duel Nyneave would overwhelm Egwene/Elayne/Aviendha in abot 2 seconds with strength alone.

Yes...1 OC fight trumps all the times when we have seen Rand's strength send Forsaken skill running *NM* Cannoli - 08/02/2010 04:10:28 AM 479 Views

IMO, that had nothing to do with skill in the OP Lord Haart - 08/02/2010 06:20:09 AM 876 Views

all of which comes down to skill beating strength darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 05:32:42 PM 702 Views
Well, Alivia could just have shielded Cyndane, no sweat, just like Rand shielding Verin... Shannow - 08/02/2010 02:28:49 PM 2898 Views

I like "Alivia is essentially an incredibly strong retard" Skeeve the Great - 08/02/2010 07:57:32 PM 958 Views
My intent was to show that skill makes up for strength differentials darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 05:27:50 PM 675 Views
Also, we don't know how badly damaged Cyndane was, right? Lord Haart - 08/02/2010 07:44:04 PM 777 Views
sure we do darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 12:45:12 AM 726 Views
