81 then Sidious Send a noteboard - 07/12/2012 08:11:34 PM
Be'lal was clearly weary of his strength in TDR even before Callandor.

We have no indication that Be'lal was ever weary of Rand.

and the Forsaken discuss him "being as strong as anyone" early in the series ...

Lanfear says that to mess with their minds, and to bait Sammael and Rahvin. We know that he eventually becomes as strong as any channeler, but we know for a fact that Rahvin equalled Rand in strength at the end of FoH, and yet stronger men existed.

the Forsaken would not have been all that concerned about him because of his lack of training if he wasn't already at least as strong as most of them.

They've never really been scared of him, which is why they're dead. Rand sometimes mentions how strong he is compared to them - those are the quotes I used. RJ said you can't trust Forsaken PoV's.

Asmodean is most likely the weakest of the males, but he's not that far off of them despite being a total wuss of a person :)

Yes but that's your theory, Darius, it's not fact. Asmodean could be 20% weaker than Ishamael of 3% weaker. We just don't know. I personally think he's between 80 and 90.

I really hate to bring up strength in the OP, but thankfully it doesn't regard Egwene or any women. - 04/12/2012 06:01:45 AM 1679 Views

90 is REALLY high - 04/12/2012 07:25:15 AM 1043 Views
Couple of things ... **reminder that this is a lot of speculation** - 04/12/2012 04:29:50 PM 999 Views
Narishma is definitely stronger, you're right. - 07/12/2012 03:00:53 AM 948 Views
He was stronger than Aginor in order to channel the power of the Eye - 07/12/2012 03:00:10 PM 906 Views
No I don't think so - 07/12/2012 04:13:48 PM 809 Views
I'd say more than 80 - 07/12/2012 07:07:32 PM 769 Views

Aginors defeat could be a result of multiple factors. So can Ishmaels - 07/12/2012 01:24:18 PM 828 Views
Regardless, Rand was clearly in the same strength category when Aginor and he faced off - 07/12/2012 03:03:04 PM 777 Views
I disagree. - 07/12/2012 06:55:43 PM 712 Views

think youre misjudgjng the benefits of the link. they dont have to add up to 90. - 07/12/2012 12:34:59 PM 772 Views
There is also no why to tell if Flinn hit Demandred with all the strength available to him either - 07/12/2012 03:05:38 PM 774 Views
the "circle" was stronger but the individuals weren't *NM* - 07/12/2012 06:58:38 PM 508 Views
