He destroyed an army of Shadowspawn so vast that Ituralde didn't think any force in the world would have been able to stop them. It took Rand and something like 100 other Channelers to destroy 100,000 Trollocs in KoD. Naeff was absolutely stunned by the sheer volume of Rands weaving as well. If it was only about him gaining LTTs full knowledge then any of the Forsaken could do much the same as what Rand did at Maradon, which we know isn't true from seeing various OP battles between them and Rand.
Rand and his associates in KoD were morons fumbling in the dark, compared to the knowledge of the Power that LTT possessed. The only One Power battle that would provide any kind of objective statement would be that of Rand and Demandred, which has not yet occured (if it ever does at all).
Rand is accessing the true abilities of the DR at this point IMO and has moved far beyond what any mere human is capable of ... the way I see it he's become an Avatar of the Creator.
If it was that simple, there would be no need for a Dragon at all: the Creator could just re-seal the DO like in the beginning of time. Dealing with the DO will not be a Power issue: we all know this. As such, there is no need for the Creator to imbue Rand with additional strength.
Rand's new strength level - Approximately the power of two men, 10 men or 100 men?

it's an interesting question. I think he's more like a person drawing on the TP

Good point. But I disagree that Rand or Moridin could draw limitless volumes of the True Power

I'm not so sure about that, we don't actually know that much about the TP

I've yet to be convinced that Rand's raw strength has increased.

Then he would be no different to Demandred or another powerful Forsaken...

Hampered and fought the entire way by Rand, so, no, that won't be necessary. *NM*

Hey Shannow, what does your theory say about Rand's One Power level?

I don't think he strength has significantly increased.... but he has fully accepted his LTT memories

I think it's Naeff in that scene that directly says he's never seen so many weaves at once

I say the strength level - a little bit more than before, just a little.

I've read it as two things have happened to him.
