The Dread Masters; underrated?
In this thread I'm going to explain why I think the Dread Masters are heavily underrated and not at all respected in a manner they deserve.
Firstly, the Dread Masters' extreme mastery of the dark side due to their nigh immortality is massively overlooked:
Their powers were harnessed from mastering and perfecting the Phobis Devices, artifacts of incredible power:
The power of the Phobis Devices is enough to drive up to a trillion people insane and cause mass dark side corruption, warping planets as Oricon was:
This insanity was completely and utterly irreversible:
The madness was so deep that a subject could take ten blaster shot holes through them without dying or feeling any pain:
With this new power, they became nigh-immortal, centuries-old human Sith Lords:
The powers they harnessed through mastery of the Phobis devices, converted the planet of Oricon into a hellacious dark side nexus of immeasurable power:

Raptus was capable of offensively teleporting a strike team across Oricon: (please log in to view the image)
Calphayus was single-handedly capable of seeing many threads of the future simultaneously and prevented many disasters:
The Phobis Devices and the Dread Masters themselves are one-in-the-same:
They're capable of using teleportation against entire strike teams in combat; they can inflict mass incurable insanity on entire planets; can turn planets into hellish warped dark side worlds; and have achieved a degree of immortality.
I'm not attempting to claim they stomp Yoda or anything of the sort, but they deserve massive respect.

It specifically said Jedi Knight Jaric Kaedan worked with an elite Republic SF team to capture the DMs, nothing else from the Journal of Gnost-Dural and the TOR Codex.
Sure we don't know the context, but even still it's pretty dumb with all the power they shouldn't even have been captured. If they had a reason to be captured, it sure as hell was never stated from what I recall. If they have no reason, then they shouldn't have been captured in the first place.
I wasn't saying to use against them, I just said with all the hype and power they have, them getting captured like such is a little stupid with or without context. If they had to be captured, it could have been done a little better than that.
I wouldn't say they are underrated though, just no one talks about em much.

Jaric Kaedan uses a special variant of Form VII called 'Juyo Kai' which he says shields him from dark side attacks. It's why he's an army buster on Ilum. Not to mention he's a fvckin beast in his own right. It's also quite possible they were caught in mid-meditation and thus vulnerable.

People giving shit to the Dread Masters for a Jedi Master ambushing them but ignore when a bounty hunter walked up to Vader and beat the shit out of him with a metal pole.

Because all he has really, is that he was a living weapon guided by The Force. That's fancy and all, but I still don't see why this makes him immune to the DM and even if you really wanna stretch it, ok sure...then what about the Republic Forces?
Plus weren't individually these DMs taking on much more powerful foes than Jaric? And frankly they have more to their name which should suggest they should be more powerful than him anyway.
Ok they were caught mid-meditation, so why does that suddenly mean they can't fight back? The Republic Forces should be piss ants compared to the power they wield. It could have been at least a team of Jedi, not just 1 Jedi and a team of SF. That would have at least made a little more sense.
Their power and what happened, just doesn't add up unless they were wanting to get captured, which I'm all for if that's the case but there's never really any reason as to why.
But again, I'm just pointing out how ridiculous it all is, I'm fine with ignoring the instance it's just somewhat...well a bad first impression imo.
