I'm tempted to go with Taim too, but... fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 08/01/2010 04:25:52 PM

So how does Elayne's skill compare to Taim's? I'd bet heavily on Taim.


Based on the evidence of just the books, we know that Elayne has no weaknesses in any of the five powers, knows some really nasty weaves learned from Moghedien. If Taim is proved to be FS trained and shows no deficiencies in the five powers, however, I'd bet on him for sure.

Plus, if she's anything like Egwene in the skill department, then I'll bet that she can hand Taim his ass with a circle.

Incidentally, I'm beginning to think that just as Rand is top of the tree for strength, Egwene heads the dexterity list. It seems to me that we've seen absolutely no one do fourteen weaves at once, and that's supposed to be extremely difficult. It would make sense too, as Egwene is the female equivalent of Rand, and as strength is to males, dexterity is to females.

Miscommunication seems to be a major theme of the series *NM* darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 07:17:16 PM 432 Views
As well as missed opportunities. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 09:27:56 PM 788 Views
yes, the Amyrlin story line could have been wrapped up much earlier! darius_sedai - 07/01/2010 09:55:30 PM 902 Views

For a major theme, it sure is surprising Wotmaniac Reborn - 08/01/2010 04:10:22 AM 784 Views

Thanks for pointing to that Taim incident... its another proof... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 04:15:33 PM 864 Views
I always like to think that Egwene, Elayne and Aviendha Linked can match Rand. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/01/2010 05:26:35 PM 783 Views
Those three... fionwe1987 - 07/01/2010 05:35:24 PM 757 Views

If Elayne had wanted Taim dead, he and his minions would have been dead darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 05:41:29 PM 815 Views
The reverse would be true too, though... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 05:50:02 PM 721 Views
But she just heard Taim say to basically stand down darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 06:05:43 PM 772 Views
But... fionwe1987 - 08/01/2010 08:53:11 PM 968 Views
Ah but Elayne also knew they knew Rand wouldn't allow it darius_sedai - 08/01/2010 10:40:45 PM 816 Views

I think he is illogical towards all danger, regardless of gender. amirebram - 07/01/2010 06:39:37 PM 724 Views
Do fat kids run marathons? No. And no Rand isn't logical when he estimates female danger. *NM* callandor1000 - 07/01/2010 06:44:08 PM 479 Views
It's all kind of irrelevant. Cannoli - 08/01/2010 11:28:46 PM 985 Views
