Just that it would be much more difficult to do than against a normal force. As for the time investment needed, the argument lacks merit. Egwene transformed half a harbor chain in seconds. Do you have any idea just how much metal that is? While Lelaine did it almost as fast. There are plenty of AS around able to do the weave. What AS wouldn't be willing to spend a couple hours making her warder more likely to survive? If for no other reason than to avoid the death pain of the bond. It would take 10 times as long for a blacksmith to make the iron armor than for a sister to convert it.

Besides, think of how pissed the Children of the Light would be. :)


Egwene clearly could make dozens of sets of armor quickly, but aside from her and Leane the next best was Bode ... Most of the women we witnessed couldn't even make a small cup turn in an hour. Considering most Warders we've seen don't seem to even wear armor ... They seem to prefer mobility over the protection ... Why would an Aes Sedai even consider undertaking such a process?

I'm not saying it would be useless, but there clearly isn't need for such armor as it would only really be effective under certain circumstances. And really how much more effective would cuendillar armor be compared to steel?

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 859 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 417 Views
I rest my case. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 757 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 746 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 457 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 731 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 857 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 389 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 758 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 805 Views
Certainly possible, but given the effort most women have to put toward changing even a small item darius_sedai - 12/02/2012 05:10:35 AM 845 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 688 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 757 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 660 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 657 Views
Actually I'd call the Seanchan tactically inferior to the White Tower in using the power HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:48:55 PM 773 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 646 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 642 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 532 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 750 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 685 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 701 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 803 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 642 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 660 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 692 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 699 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 606 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 737 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 628 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 658 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 653 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 822 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 646 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 632 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 697 Views
