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?

You posted this exact same question one year ago, with a lot of discussion Marshall - 10/02/2012 06:29:28 PM 942 Views
You busted him! I wonder why he would post it again... *NM* Dark Knight - 10/02/2012 07:25:47 PM 497 Views

No, you go back and re-read what everyone said. LadyLorraine - 11/02/2012 11:02:47 PM 942 Views
We're actually losing them by the troves. My apologies. *NM* Nargs - 12/02/2012 02:52:01 AM 455 Views
I rest my case. Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:34:02 PM 834 Views

Agreed. Narg - 11/02/2012 06:24:36 PM 825 Views
why not some plate armor. duh. *NM* Japhy - 12/02/2012 09:54:43 PM 493 Views
See? Nargs - 10/05/2012 04:35:25 PM 807 Views
Possible, but hard. Gher - 11/02/2012 01:56:03 AM 950 Views
scale or plate armor would be quite easy *NM* HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:38:47 PM 422 Views

Should be perfectly feasible TheUltimateReality - 11/02/2012 12:28:47 PM 841 Views
Exactly HyogaRott - 11/02/2012 01:53:24 PM 878 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 927 Views
Ummm, Warders... HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:39:23 PM 770 Views
How would Cuendillar armour help against channelers? Fanatic-Templar - 14/02/2012 07:58:58 PM 845 Views
It can not be directly effected by the OP HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 09:08:57 PM 734 Views

which way is it? LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 04:14:41 AM 736 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 849 Views
That's really not my point. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:21:15 PM 730 Views
My point is HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:52:43 PM 716 Views
Agree on all points *NM* Nargs - 15/02/2012 07:06:09 PM 569 Views
I never said that they could not be stopped HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 01:58:41 PM 835 Views
I really think you're over-estimating how difficult it would be. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 03:22:44 PM 780 Views
Not nesecarrily HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 04:01:45 PM 782 Views
You just said that most of their tactics are indirect. LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 05:44:22 PM 891 Views
..and you are creating new tactics HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:32:02 PM 723 Views
*shrug* I don't see it as some world-shaking action LadyLorraine - 15/02/2012 08:47:40 PM 742 Views
But it is brand new, and if you're digging holes earth-shaking seems discriptive HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 09:14:12 PM 766 Views

I disagree darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 04:43:33 PM 778 Views
If armor is of no benefit... HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 06:19:30 PM 686 Views
Missing my point ... Cuendillar armor is impractical not useless darius_sedai - 15/02/2012 07:00:48 PM 792 Views
nope HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:21:03 PM 706 Views

I'll happily amend my initial statement to "maybe even challeling ones" HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 07:03:48 PM 739 Views
Fair enough. Fanatic-Templar - 16/02/2012 02:08:19 AM 737 Views
what a lot of people are forgetting with their suggestions of plate armor... LadyLorraine - 13/02/2012 02:36:50 PM 909 Views
Your understanding of how plate armor functions is in error HyogaRott - 14/02/2012 01:45:37 PM 724 Views
I believe AND I was hoping you would go into the physics of it :p Nargs - 14/02/2012 11:01:18 PM 710 Views
here ya go, I still skipped almost all of the math though. HyogaRott - 15/02/2012 03:00:09 PM 777 Views
