Why is Maul such a mediocre force user?

He has no good showings of barrier, can't use force lightning, has no knowledge of Sith Sorcery, no good showings of weather manipulation, can't use tutaminus. Did Sidious train him only to be an assassin and a thug with a Lightsaber? Does Maul have a handicap that only enables him to be good with a saber? Why does Maul have hardly any variety with his force feats?

Pretty much yeah, he was designed as a weapon/assassin. Why bother really to study other things? That said, he has some pretty nice TP feats(Legends), he can Force cloak(Legends), and has some nice TK feats.

Trainee Zannah and Ben Skywalker have used cloak before their primes. Being an assassin doesn't excuse his lack of versatility with the force, did Sidious just hold back or is Maul just compensating by being 00b3r skill3d

Sidious trained him as an assassin and a weapon, he doesn't really need to know any Sorcery related things or what have you. His saber skills and TK abilities among his other few like TP and Stealth, are perfect set for what he was built as.

Because he hates using it, he believes it's cheating. So he was trained all his life as a pure lightsaber duelist and he's still shit at that...

Well for someone who spent there whole life training in lightsaber combat and obtained mastery of Teras Kasi, he isn't as good as he should be...

Hello not versatile but he is a power house. He's survived things that most people would be dead from.

Rebels Maul is inferior to his SoD incarnation.

That's nice. If you caring about things made them matter, the world would be a much darker place.
