Depends on the circumstances really darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM
Moghedien was an idiot to engage Nynaeve the way she did. Reversed weaves to slice Nynaeves and a then a reversed shield of her own and she would have won in minutes.

As for the men, I agree with your thoughts mainly because I think Reversing is easier for women due to their naturally higher dexterity. Seems to me that Reversing with saidin takes a bit more effort so the men don't bother with is unless it's going to be an obvious advantage, like Demandred v. Flinn's circle.

How did Cyndane defeat Alivia? - 31/12/2010 08:03:39 PM 3557 Views
As RJ said, Cyndane knows a LOT more about the OP - 31/12/2010 08:33:47 PM 1636 Views

Dude, he calls it out specifically. Cyndane beat Alivia because of her skill - 01/01/2011 03:22:48 PM 1243 Views

Try spelling it correctly then - 02/01/2011 01:30:23 AM 1124 Views
I did, maybe you made the mistake - 02/01/2011 07:13:54 PM 950 Views

Here are few other quotes establishing how little Alivia knows of the OP - 02/01/2011 07:39:36 PM 1194 Views
Damane don't know about reversed weaves - 31/12/2010 09:56:51 PM 1293 Views

Yes, odd. - 01/01/2011 01:45:01 AM 1156 Views
Nicola wasn't the dragon reborn with the pattern bending around her - 02/01/2011 12:24:50 PM 1046 Views
Not really ... Rand has had LTT knowledge leaking into his head for a long time - 02/01/2011 07:13:41 PM 1041 Views
reversed weaves are only useful when dealing with someone who doesn't know they exist. - 03/01/2011 07:51:01 PM 962 Views
Depends on the circumstances really - 04/01/2011 02:17:29 PM 1109 Views
but why would she have any idea that Nynaeve would be able to resist her. - 10/01/2011 07:30:49 PM 1049 Views
Well she did get attacked right off the bat... Pretty indicative that Nyn resist her compulsion - 11/01/2011 12:56:51 AM 1023 Views
Exactly. which is why she didn't have time to do any "fancy" and time consuming reversing. - 11/01/2011 03:23:50 PM 1181 Views
that's where she made her mistake - 11/01/2011 04:47:56 PM 996 Views
It would be these memories, his t'a'veren nature & sheer luck/plot necessity that gave him the edge - 03/01/2011 10:32:43 PM 1091 Views
Well that was always going to happen - 03/01/2011 11:41:22 PM 1023 Views

Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. - 02/01/2011 12:36:12 AM 1156 Views
Re: Cyndane injured Alivia, yes, but Alivia fought Cyndane off. - 02/01/2011 09:56:34 AM 1114 Views
Yup. - 02/01/2011 03:12:39 PM 1061 Views
Alivia has little experience fighting channellers, unlike Lanfear (most likely)... - 03/01/2011 12:56:43 AM 1402 Views
I agree with you - 03/01/2011 01:08:35 AM 1055 Views
Demandred wasn't commenting on Cadsuane's paralis net, but on her little bird saidin detector... - 03/01/2011 07:01:08 AM 1173 Views
Where do you get this idea? *NM* - 03/01/2011 07:19:50 PM 608 Views
Well, he's definitely right he was commenting on one of the specific ter'angreal in her "net". - 03/01/2011 10:51:09 PM 1108 Views
I'm thinking there are 2 items that break webs in different ways - 04/01/2011 07:51:46 PM 1071 Views
Very interesting point. I never noticed that before... - 05/01/2011 08:02:52 AM 1015 Views
Cadsuane has two types of weavebreakers... - 05/01/2011 12:51:38 PM 942 Views
inconclusive ... the ornament may be the same one she used to disrupt Semirhage - 05/01/2011 04:09:39 PM 1017 Views
I'm confused... - 05/01/2011 06:15:06 PM 995 Views
Why should Cadsuane's "distance" unraveler not also go cold at nearby channeling? - 05/01/2011 06:51:49 PM 1004 Views
I'd buy this. - 05/01/2011 07:12:50 PM 978 Views
Except Cyndane had never heard of a ter'angreal that can unravel weaves... - 05/01/2011 07:18:58 PM 900 Views
Not necessarily. - 05/01/2011 09:26:49 PM 1003 Views
I doubt it since LTT claims they created the "first" ones in the AOL - 08/01/2011 05:23:53 PM 957 Views
The first paralis nets, not necessarily the first weave breakers. - 09/01/2011 09:53:56 PM 1010 Views
Maybe, but that's getting really convoluted - 10/01/2011 03:36:17 AM 880 Views
Agreed - 10/01/2011 05:14:45 PM 980 Views
It would fit the various scenarios if she had 2 kinds ... - 05/01/2011 03:53:48 PM 961 Views

I don't think Rand is referring to the system as an indivisible whole. - 04/01/2011 10:45:24 AM 1047 Views

It's also possible that a Paralis Net is simply a name for any personal system - 04/01/2011 09:23:18 PM 1163 Views
I agree. - 10/01/2011 07:08:19 PM 1017 Views
