I think if we took Semblances away in general, Pyrrah would still be pretty badass. She's instructing Jaune in combat, after all, so she needs to know what she's talking about. And, since we're seeing somewhat of an improvement in Jaune, she's gotta be doing something right. 

As for the whole Jaune-Weiss thing, I'm kinda annoyed with Jaune and people rooting for Jaune. I'd be far more impressed if he knew how to take a hint and leave the girl alone. "Poor Jaune," people keep saying but I'm thinking, "Poor Weiss." Nothing more annoying to me than a guy who can't take a hint. It's not endearing, imo.
