Ran'jit is the strongest individual of the First. The kind of guy that are Raubhan, Estinien, Gaius or Zenos in ours.

And to be honest, there is a large difference between our first fight against Zenos and Ran'jit.

Against Ran'jit, we could have probably stand up and fight again, we were temporarly disabled only. I mean we were probably surprised by his attack, and after that, when he use it against us, it's far less efficient.
Against Zenos, it's an absolute defeat.

Actually, it was only against Ascian that the loss of Hydaelyn's blessing is problematic. Midgardsormr explecitly say that it would not affect our strenght.
