I was referring to Nicola, not Bode. Nicola is seen as extremely remarkable, for the amount of strength she has, and Egwene is stronger than her.
There is no mention of another Egwene strength channeler, and if Aes Sedai can make so much of people weaker than Egwene, than someone of her strength would very obviously be mentioned.
Egwene would certainly know of anyone who matches or exceeds her. Any such person would be a vindication of her decision to continue recruiting. Sharina was, certainly. And Egwene would have mentioned any other strong woman in that context.

But Amys and Melaine make it clear that Avi is one of the most powerful WO. Most of the channeling WO are out of the waste and in Illian or Arad Doman or Cairhein. I find it highly unlikely that there are many women of Avi's strength or greater running about unnoticed.


Being the strongest over a period of time is different from being the strongest in a current group.
I agree that with current recruiting, it won't be 600 years before we see another Egwene. But it is also doubtful that most random groups of 1000 will have an Egwene. After all, Elayne is strong enough that Moghedien comments on it, and that estimation of her strength is muted only in comparison to Moggy's estimation of Nynaeve.
Where the Foresaken have shown complete contempt for any Aes Sedai of this Age, two of them, Moggy and Be'lal, have shown respect for the strength of Elayne and Egwene. That too, while dismissing Moiraine, who is not terribly weak at all.


But one of them is Merise, who is not that much weaker than Cadsuane.
By Egwene's own estimation, she is far stronger than Moiraine, and this was way back in tSR.

Verin had an angreal, but so did Graendal. And Graendal had the added advantage of reversed webs.

With Egwene, neither hidden ability nor reversed webs will be an issue. And the level of skill Egwene (and Elayne and Avi) shows far exceeds that of the normal Aes Sedai. In skill, if in nothing else, these three are closer to the Forsaken than to the Aes Sedai.

Even Cadsuane, I think. Semirhage still disparages the modern day AS, but makes not one comment that indicates she thinks Cadsuane is weak or inconsiderable.

I'd rather put these women closer to the Forsaken than not. If Moiraine thinks that even at incomplete potential, Egwene and Avi can hold against one of the Forsaken, they are not inconsiderable at all. And Moiraine has actually fought with one of the strongest Forsaken, so she must have some idea of what to expect.
