Using Compulsion on someone doesn't seem mechanically different beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 09:03:41 PM
Than any other weave that's directly used on a person (as opposed to say, a fireball).

Meaning, that there will be a weave, and it's coming towards you, and you have to either block it, divert it, or deal with it in some other way.


This is true of many weaves- Shielding, definitely, and I'm sure some others. Evidence: Moggy tries to attack Nyn with Compulsion at the showdown in Tanchino, and Nyn manages to slice the weave just in time. Something similar happened when Liandrin attacked Moggy with her cobbled-together Compulsion.



So being amazing at Compulsion won't give you an edge- you still have to hit the person with the weave, and that's true of nearly all of the duel-ending weaves.
I amuse myself.

Fact is, the bwb is untrustworthy Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:54:28 PM 741 Views
We must either use all the quotes from the BWB or none of them Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:07:46 PM 797 Views
Or... Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:41:23 PM 722 Views

It all depends on how you define "powerful" Lanfear - 14/09/2009 02:30:31 AM 825 Views
I agree 101%. *NM* Yvves - 14/09/2009 03:49:51 AM 423 Views
I think power is much more than raw strength Sidious - 14/09/2009 05:00:10 AM 698 Views
I agree for the most part, but disagree on one thing. Lanfear - 14/09/2009 07:52:10 PM 820 Views

So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Shannow - 13/09/2009 05:41:42 PM 693 Views
Graendal could fight Lanfear and win Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:01:57 PM 1227 Views

Lanfear was more powerful than Graendal, but Cyndane has less power beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:19:35 PM 690 Views
Re: So is graendal similar to lanfear then? Watcher - 13/09/2009 06:05:11 PM 826 Views
I agree with this Sidious - 13/09/2009 06:15:24 PM 845 Views
Compulsion=any other deadly weave. Doesn't really change matters beetnemesis - 13/09/2009 10:23:40 PM 694 Views
Excellent point *NM* Shannow - 13/09/2009 10:35:08 PM 433 Views
But it did give her an edge, and against two forsaken. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:12:09 PM 404 Views
Hm? When? *NM* beetnemesis - 14/09/2009 09:04:10 PM 333 Views
tPoD, when she compelled Cyndane and Moghedien. *NM* fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:19:23 PM 386 Views

I'm not so sure about that Sidious - 14/09/2009 09:36:45 PM 714 Views
Totally agree Shannow - 14/09/2009 10:26:07 PM 516 Views

But Graendal confronted her... twice! *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 07:48:29 PM 362 Views
Apparently only the third time counts *NM* Sidious - 13/09/2009 08:00:37 PM 390 Views
But the third time's supposed to be lucky. So that won't count either. *NM* fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:26:18 PM 415 Views
Really? Shannow - 13/09/2009 08:36:33 PM 678 Views
No falsely... fionwe1987 - 13/09/2009 11:25:40 PM 890 Views
That's pretty much my opinion in a nutshell Sidious - 14/09/2009 04:56:15 AM 830 Views
And, of course, the male and female OP strength ranks might not even correlate that much RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:41:58 PM 646 Views
They correlate on some critical points Sidious - 14/09/2009 06:57:43 PM 728 Views
That's not exactly what I'm referring to. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 04:36:29 PM 596 Views
But then we are discussing the same thing Sidious - 15/09/2009 06:59:04 PM 738 Views
I think, outside of semantics, our main disagreement doesn't lie amid the higher tiers RugbyPlayingAshaman - 16/09/2009 03:53:09 PM 613 Views

I only disagree on one point, I think they are all rather equal in potential, incl. Ishamael RugbyPlayingAshaman - 14/09/2009 04:28:12 PM 690 Views

Yeah. Though I think its no competition. Graendal has got to be better than a walking tree! fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 07:50:09 PM 628 Views

Yeah... her frivolity was always a red flag for me too. fionwe1987 - 14/09/2009 10:18:40 PM 691 Views
To me, she is the most lethal. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 15/09/2009 05:18:10 PM 520 Views
Yup... fionwe1987 - 15/09/2009 06:39:20 PM 567 Views
