Frustration

There isn't any

While I don't know about weakest you have a point here. I remember after I finished RoW, and I felt ecstatic for days, but here the day later I felt rather meh about the whole thing.

Add another to my WoK prime opinions All of the characters in WoK prime are better than their canon counterparts. Except Szeth, Szeth is perfect. Merin is better than Kaladin Shinri is better than Shallan in every possible way Prime Jasnah is better than Jasnah Dalinar is actually mostly the same.

My calculations take it being many times more powerful into consideration. Even if I underestimated my increase in the amount of harmonium would make up for it. They wouldn't need anything more than a thousand pounds. Their spren can find the right spot for them. By this point he would have already gotten all the knowledge he could out of Ishar, so Ishar doesn't know anything more than Kalak does on this point. Lets say the guard did recognize it, which I don't think is possible, but lets say he does, he either starts screaming, and wakes people up causing sleep deprivation. He sends someone else for help--causing sleep deprivation--is killed and the food spoiled anyway, or leaves himself, causes sleep deprivation and the food is spoiled anyway. He wasn't boosting her and the only thing the perpendicularity did was give her fuel. Why? They tried, Telsin said Autonomy was pushing them in that direction, but they couldn't figure out the ballistics of it. Not to mention the fact that they'd need a generator on the missile that could supply more electricity than industrial cables are capable of. There was a secondary reaction of Harmonium in Wax's lab. If it started a chain reaction that blast would have killed him. No, it is mass, it's just that the mass of the Trellium is also relevant. Even if it didn't react with Wayne's flask it would once it hit the water outside the boat. Squires. And now that the Stormfather is sentient at all times he will know what to do and can pass it on.

I thought the holdbacks were the gifts he gave Ranette, and the things he wanted left in Wax's coat, with Noseball being included in the companies he had investments in. I never got the feeling that it was "you could have done more why didn't you" so much as "I want to be open about what I am doing"

On efficiency Kelsier downed a metal vial, left for keep venture and was almost out of pewter while he's there. (FE 92).

Telsin died because Autonomy withdrew her investiture, so I doubt it.

He once wrote 29,000 words in a day, and had a fedora he wore in middle school.

Considering that windrunners carried Navani's floating platform across a continent, not a lot of stormlight. And aiming is easy, they just have to will the boulder in their chosen direction. He also knows Nale hangs out around the purelake, would he tell the honorspren to tell him if they see any purelakers? Mists come out every couple of nights, they aren't a one in a million thing. And the mists flicker with internal light, so it would be hidden Illusions can be formed quickly and at great distance from the lightweaver. Shallan makes an entire army in OB, and large groups multiple times. And at late night the only people awake will be guards They shared the creation of half-shards in OB. They had Autonomy telling them how to improve it. That's not just a brilliant mind, that is one of the 16 most brilliant minds in the cosmere, who already knows how to do it, explaining it to them. If they didn't reach max efficiency I would be surprised. And you can only react the harmonium that is around the trellium bit, so excess harmonium won't react. It is a pure calculation of mass. Harmonium reacts to water the same way alkali metals do. And most of the blast went up rather than out, so using Wax as a benchmark isn't entirely possible. Except that spren find it helpful to bond again quickly, and that up to the recreance there was always at least two bondsmiths.

A soulbearer can make a perpendicularity Now it's likely too much power for the bands to hold, but Tensoon said he wasn't sure how it would work.

Odium is heavily related to Passion on some relevant level.

What's yours?

Yes

It was Kelsier that said Ruin had always been stronger(TLM 486). And it felt right to Sazed because that's what the shard wanted.

For starters I loved the lost metal, but it's not perfect and I had a few issues with it. I wanted to talk about my mostly minor issues with it, and I thought I'd make space for everyone to put their gripes that weren't big enough to deserve their own thread. Marsh came and rescued Wax and Co. but he didn't notice Etone's spikes despite his steelsight. TLR could use steelsight to see people's hearts, I doubt that he somehow missed the spikes but for some reason he doesn't mention this to Wax. Marasi's conversation with Kel at the end doesn't make sense. She worships Kel, why would she turn him down in such a way? It would have been so easy for her to say "I will join if you insist, but I don't think I'm a good fit for your organization." But instead she practically insults him. What problems did you have with the lost metal?

That's not entirely the case

Brandon hints towards it's posibility.

Welcome to the second entry of Frustration's Firepower Index, a collection of threads dedicated to analyzing the combat capabilities of every Cosmere world. This Thread will be specifically focusing on the planet Roshar as it appears in WaT. As The Stormlight Archive is half of the Cosmere by word count I expect this one to be the largest of any of them, thus spoiler boxes are used to cut down on length. Shards: Shards: Retribution kind of resides on Roshar, although they are in some form of hiding. 3/3 Dawnshards: Rysn has gone into deep hiding, and her current location is unknown. 0/0 Defenses Offenses: Natural advantages: Rosharans are taller than non-rosharans by a large margin, this would make facing them intimidating, while also allowing them greater physical strength. Some among the Horneaters and Singers can get to seven Rosharan feet, so they likely are close to 7'8-8' Additionally Roshar has the second highest population of major shardworlds, and is close to first And Singers make excellent shock troops, with heavy resistance to caltrops, fire, heat, cold and other extremes 2.5/2.5 Armed Forces: There are multiple groups on Roshar, but the ones that I believe deserve attention are: The Coalition, The Odium's forces, The Sleepless, The Shin, and The Listeners. Two of which(The Coalition and Odium's forces) are in active combat with each other, with the Sleepless tentitively allies with the Coalition, and the Listeners and Shin trying to remain neutral. 12.5/12.5 Economics&Technology: With the change from stormlight to warlight, the loss of the oathgates, and the breaking up of the world, a great deal of progress has been lost. However Roshar will likely quickly adapt to these limitations, and while there are several small pockets that are mostly isolated from the world the vast majority is interconnected. They have access to alerters, powered flight, stabalizers and more. Additionally breeding programs are making gemstones cheaper and larger as well. 0/7.5 Logistics: Intelligence: Roshar has several ways to create illusions, between Lightweavers, Truthwatchers, Smokeforms, and the Ones of Masks. They also have spren who can become invisible to everyone except those with investiture detection. They also have the ability to create replicas of important documents via soulcasting, which doesn't require them to even be in the same room as the document being copied. They can also create poison, or weapons if need be, and Lightweavers can instantly memorize anything they look at. Rosharans are also distinct from other Cosmere humans making it difficult for them to imitate off worlders without powers. 10/10 Counterintelligence: Lightweavers, Elsecallers, and Willshapers can look into the Cognitive realm and see the souls of anyone nearby. Rosharans also have noticeably distinct features, making them hard to imitate without powers, along with Singers being a separate species, that can hear rhythms, which will give away even Kandra imposters. They also have alerter fabrials that can detect people approaching, and can be set to ignore certain individuals. Additionally they have spren who are always awake, and can be watching, and Secretspren can detect uses of investiture. 9/9 Allies: The forces of Retribution forces on Roshar are enemies of all other shards: -2/1 Notable uses of investiture: Secretspren can detect kinetic investiture, and there are fabrials that can suppress invested abilities, though those are rare, and only seem to work on various forms of surgebinding. They also have Shardblades that can sever the soul, and plate that greatly increases strength and durability. Additionally they have several lifeforms that can consume investiture. +4.5 Recommended strategies: Roshar is currently reeling from the loss of the highstorms, something that has shaped Rosharan life for its entire history. It will have to quickly adapt to the new realities of the Night of Sorrows and begin rebuilding it's economic and logistical capacities. The largest difficulties will be the time dilation and interference from foreign shards, and great effort should be employed to finding what if anything can be done about them. Overall ranking: 49.5/65.5 As before did I miss anything? What do you think of the rankings? And what should I do next?

Block line of sight from one position is possible, but from all angles at a distance of tens of thousands of feet would be neigh impossible. Those are all rather low stormlight intensive abilities, they could be down there for ours with just a few pouches. Not to mention they could quickly get to the surface and refuel if need be. Why would they mention that to him? He's specifically asked to be told about ways to get off world, some more travelers from a country the Spren have never heard of isn't really of note. It would be a small flash with nothing else out of the ordinary. If done when the mists are out I doubt they would even notice. But if they did notice they wouldn't be able to find anything wrong and would assume that their mind is playing tricks. Yeah, and he also said that someone stole a progression Honorblade from the shin, and was actively trying to screw with Dalinar. Brandon has RAFO'd questions about whether they are a radiant spren or not, and I have several questions about how they would be able to capture a radiant spren in the first place The Set spent 6 years working on it, so they likely found the maximum efficency, so it should scale with mass at that point. Kaladin won't accept that they are trained enough until casualties drop to zero, and probably not even then. And you wouldn't put them through a metgrinder for the sake of it, you would only risk killing them when it gets you an advantage. And all relevent orders, other than maybe Willshapers, Elsecallers, and Dustrbingers get Squires.

Lurchers used wooden shields to block coins.

If you keep going you just straight up become Preservation.

He's the white haired Terris dude Elend talks to.

He wasn't dead, his mind was just wounded. The soulstamps worked for him the same way a Kandra's spike works for them.

Considering that they can redirect bullets with reverse lashings I'd say they would be more effective. Windrunners are always accelerating until they hit terminal velocity, we've seen them do over 200 mph.
