KMC Forums - Outlander(HoT) Vs Revan.

2/2

As for your intriguing query; plot device is a thing, my friend.

Story-wise, judgement is an important factor and even Valkorion was not averse to it. Why didn't Valkorion devastate core worlds of the Republic much like Ziost? He could,
but this would be a time-consuming strategy in bringing down the Republic to its knees and it would also draw lot of attention towards him, multiplying his adversaries among his followers and
abroad; it is rather convenient to orchestrate a major war in the galaxy to ensure destruction of important institutions and numerous worlds when you have a powerful Empire at your disposal.

All True, it comes down to plot.

quote:
Valkorion had alienated the Sith with his actions earlier but he didn't want to alienate the civilization of Zakuul perhaps?

Would of been an easy cover up tbh. "outlander killed blah blah, took Revenge etc" Pretty much what happened in story.

quote:
Revan believed in the possibility of that but this is not affirmed in the novel separately. Vitiate had centuries more to grow until he suffered a setback at the hands of Hero of Tython in Chapter 3
but he replenished his strength by consuming Ziost and and grew further up to Chapter 1 in KoTFE , so I am not sure where to position Vitiate as of Revan but it should be like 60% of his strength
demonstrated in Chapter 1 of KoTFE.

Revan had a good gauge on his power, Novel Revan is pretty reliable, when you have events like Nihilus draining Katarr it backs it. And yeah the majority of his power comes pre Novel.

quote:
Now, I am not sure how much hit Valkorion took in terms of strength from the loss of his Voice in Chapter 1 of KoTFE but his powers remained considerable nonetheless and he sought
an extraordinarily powerful Force-sensitive to convert into his Voice since.

Of course, he needed an extremely powerful vessel Nihilus was only an average force user to begin with, meaning he didn't midichlorian count or the ability to hold much energy(force power) in his body, thats
why he lost his Body, unlike Revan/Sidious those with enough Midichlorians/strength to hold energies within their bodies. Vitiate/Nihilus are just cases of their own power far exceeding their physical
limits.

quote:
Darth Nihilus replicated Ziost by virtue of his extraordinary affinity with Force Drain powers with in turn were fueled by his unprecedented hunger. Ravaging a world with Force Drain powers is a virtually
impossible feat otherwise because we know how much raw power it requires from Nathema.

Nathema is not comparable to Ziost/Katarr. Nathema literally stripped the force on the atomic level, over a planet. That requires a far more amount of energy than just, vaporizing/pulversing life/water.
Nihilus drain is a clear indication of Raw force power, as you need to strength to preform such a feat, no matter if it's a different drain.

quote:
Thon haven't experienced any apocalyptic event; he visited Ambria and trapped the spirits haunting the world in a Wall of Light on Lake Nath.

Wrong, he flat out matched the darkside energies of a botched Ritual that devastated ambria. Infact was superior as he trapped it into a lake.

quote:
fter restoring his strength to his SWTOR base level in his intangible form, he consumed Ziost

did it say he achieved his old peak in power, or that he gained enough energy to beable to drain Ziost?

quote:
point that he no longer needed arcane machines to influence his subjects (apparent from his actions) and all forms of superweapons were inconsequential to him (his own statement).

SOR Revan was stated by marr to be capable of wiping out the republic/imperial Combined Militaries by his lonesome, so its not that impressive.

quote:
Valkorion did not one-shot Arcann with an FLS but with a Dark Blast.

These are Dark Blasts:

So why as a spirit did Valkorian need to use Force lightning to weaken him before Force blasting him off the edge.Why not just one hit KO him again, oh wait he wasn't strong enough.

quote:
Dark Blast is a new power and I doubt any Jedi and/or Sith can withstand it or has an appropriate counter for it

Tutamini's from a strong enough user. considering it's fired quickly I doubt,even in while used in his spirit form, as strong as his fully powered charged force lightning storm, as it doesn't require as
much raw power.

quote:
In the nutshell:

Revan>>Arcann
Valkorion (Spirit) =< Emperor (Novel)

Though i'd lean more above than closer.
