Rubbish. If they were as strong as they ever were they should have
been able to overpower an inexperienced Rand at the end of TEOTW. They
were definitely weak when they came out of the bore and gradually got
their strength back.

You're talking through your arse mate.100% certain? WTF! If they were
planned attacks then they were stupid ones as even a channeler, as
strong as he is, only needs one arrow to end his life. These were
genuine attempts on Rand's life and is a contradiction that is not
explained properly in the book.

For the record Rand is only marginally stronger than most of the
foresaken.

=46rom TWOT encyclopedia:

When Rand wakes, Da****va holds nearly as much of the One Power as Rand
can. Da****va accompanies Rand on his strike at Illian. When Rand
announces that Sammael is dead Da****va sighs loudly with relief.
