Re: Yes, really Lord Haart Send a noteboard - 07/02/2010 06:36:48 PM
Except that LTT used AoF right away. I would buy your explanation if Rand switched to the arrows only after the trollocs got close. That is not the case. He started using them at the same time as the other weaves, when the trollocs were still far.


Like I said, I think he was trying to space out the blossoms of fire (as overlapping them would be a waste of energy), and then he'd go for the areas he missed with AoF. Blossoms possibly required more effort/energy/time so he decided to use them only where they would hit large numbers of Trollocs at once, because in that case it would be more economical than AoF.

Perhaps the key is that Gawyn is an even more simplistic thinker than Galad. Lord Haart - 06/02/2010 06:20:06 AM 1236 Views

That's not how it happens in New Spring. Fanatic-Templar - 06/02/2010 07:00:52 PM 1186 Views
