But that pretty much sums up Jordan. When the dude was on he's awesome, wrote some of the best battle and fight scenes around, but had a ton of flaws.
His battle scenes are fricking EPIC. I just read the scene where....
SPOILERS FOR THE WHEEL OF TIME!!!!!!
The trollocs attack Rand, Perrin and the Sheinaren's camp. Or the Dragon Reborn's camp I guess I should say. And Perrin going into full on Wolf mode against the Myrdrall and trollocs was fricking amazing. I have to say that he writes better combat scenes than GRRM has ever dreamt of.
The scene where rand dualed the high commander of the sea chan in book 2 was pretty awesome as well. Although that kinda irked me. I mean that guy actually "earned" his Herron marked blade and here rand is with just a few months training and he defeats him? I just think the Ta'veren excuse is used to often. Seems like an easy way out to me

Yeah, Jordan was probably the best in the business at writing battle/combat scenes. Though Steven Erikson is right there with him.
Spoilers for WOT as well...
And yeah, the tavern thing gets used a bit too much. Though Rand had been training with a true blademaster in Lan for quite a while at that point, so between that and the luck of the tavern it is kinda okay, but still a bit lame.
