Notice I said "near instantaneous drain of the planet", as in "not instant but close". What's amusing is how you scream "hyperbole" for all other characters but choose to use hyperbole Sidious.
Then again, Visas WAS there so she's quite the authorty. Ah well, such is the arguments of the incompetent
By Unseen, Unheard, it took less than an hour for Nihilus' attack to cover the world. Dunno how fast that it but it seems like it would be hella swift.
well i mean near instant so that means he can attack faster than sidious... that and because he can finish up the whole meal faster... duh he can attack faster
and visas was there with nihilus... although she wasn't there on the ship because she was on the surface of the planet laying down....but she was there with him and she heard those fast utterances

I'm fairly sure Visas would know how Nihilus uses the technique since she's Force bonded with him and as you pointed out Nihilus has fed on other worlds. So poo-pooing her description isn't very effective imo.
BTW, does Nihilus needing to utter a word for his giga-drain suggest that it may be ritualistic?
Just a question. I'm trying to figure out Nihilus' different force drains. I mean, since force drains seem to be different, wouldn't the drain he uses in combat be different than the one he uses on an entire planet, considering he doesn't need a word in combat (or does he?)?

Will somebody please help this poor child out? I don't think I'm getting the community service hours for this..
But here we go. Nihilus's drain created a wound in the force. Vitiate's drain resulted in NO force whatsoever. Sidious' drain was a gradual drain that didn't really result in anything. So yes special needs child. According to you, all drains are the same
Beefy has a point. In terms off effect there is a clear different between certain uses of Force Drain. Nihilus' drain was more potent than regular drains and appears to work differently than others and was said to have no defense. It left an absence in the Force. Vitiates was even more complete, draining even color and sound from Nathema as well as the Force.
Yeah, excuse me for not seeing the difference in force drain. Draining the force isn't draining the force. Taking it to another level, means it's certainly different.
And it still proves he is faster with the attack.
BTW, the dark reaper drains the force from entire planets, making it just as potent as Nihilus', which is what was being compared to Nihilus' drain. And when asked the difference, the best I've seen was, Nihilus bonds with his target.
Also, who said there was no defense against it? Traya? I mean, she would know every defense wouldn't she?
And Neph, I still didn't get an answer about Nihilus' giga-drain. Really, I'm trying to understand.

Nihilus turned Katarr into a wound? Just thought he lifewiped it.

If it was posted by you... well I take you as seriously as I do LeGenD, except I respond to you because you're amusing and I like going back and forth with you when I'm bored.
So I probably ignored most of what you wrote, other than your direct replies to me.

Special needs child, I've already stated that you're amusing us. Simply responding with the exact same thing makes you appear dumber than you already are.
