Perrin has pretty much always had someone with him during his battles. Aram, borderline Blademaster (imo), Loial, who is just...Loial, or an army behind him. I can't think of a significant one on one fight Perrin has that would say he is an amazing fighter. Sure he faces down Aeil, but a strong man with a decent amount of experience in a "wolf blood rage" wouldn't be easy meat, even for an Aeil.
Anyway, back to Egwene. It has been said several times, but this series focuses a lot on people learning through failures of some kind, and people that are too self righteous getting pulled down a peg or 13. Egwene has yet to have her peg more than touched. She is going to be one of the best, if not THE best Amerlyn the Tower has ever had, but she needs to be brought off her high horse before she can truly be Aes Sedai and the Amerlyn Seat.
What is the deal with the Egwene-hate?
