You are forgetting... Heiko Send a noteboard - 09/02/2010 01:05:52 AM
... that although Alivia suffered a wound or two, she nonetheless turned Cyndane back. Remember Lan's words from NS:

"He was better. But he thought I was finished, with only one arm. He never understood. You surrender after you’re dead."

Regardless of skill or ability, Alivia defeated Cyndane. From Cyndane's PoV, she was quite passionate about killing Rand - we know that it takes quite the obstacle to turn Lanfear from her goals.

So really, this fight isn't the best support for the skill>strength argument.

The line can be blurry between Rand and LTT (most skilled channeler evaaaah) BlackAdder - 08/02/2010 05:52:06 PM 794 Views

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

all of which comes down to skill beating strength darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 05:32:42 PM 726 Views
Well, Alivia could just have shielded Cyndane, no sweat, just like Rand shielding Verin... Shannow - 08/02/2010 02:28:49 PM 2916 Views
Ehhh, I don't think so. Heiko - 08/02/2010 11:00:45 PM 834 Views

I like "Alivia is essentially an incredibly strong retard" Skeeve the Great - 08/02/2010 07:57:32 PM 981 Views
My intent was to show that skill makes up for strength differentials darius_sedai - 13/02/2010 05:27:50 PM 703 Views
Also, we don't know how badly damaged Cyndane was, right? Lord Haart - 08/02/2010 07:44:04 PM 796 Views
sure we do darius_sedai - 14/02/2010 12:45:12 AM 751 Views
