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.

IMO, that had nothing to do with skill in the OP - 08/02/2010 06:20:09 AM 897 Views

all of which comes down to skill beating strength - 13/02/2010 05:32:42 PM 728 Views
Well, Alivia could just have shielded Cyndane, no sweat, just like Rand shielding Verin... - 08/02/2010 02:28:49 PM 2916 Views
Ehhh, I don't think so. - 08/02/2010 11:00:45 PM 834 Views
I agree - 13/02/2010 05:39:02 PM 847 Views

I like "Alivia is essentially an incredibly strong retard" - 08/02/2010 07:57:32 PM 982 Views
My intent was to show that skill makes up for strength differentials - 13/02/2010 05:27:50 PM 704 Views
Also, we don't know how badly damaged Cyndane was, right? - 08/02/2010 07:44:04 PM 798 Views
