No, Sion was once a Sith, it was only his hate that kept him from dying, so until either his hate is satisfied, or his will for revenge is broken he will die.
Shimarra, is a living organism, not heard together by hate, without his arms and legs, he is simply handicapped, Sion as a Sith before he had pure hatred that kept his broken body together is quite simply an average Sithlord.
How do you think he could have possibly maintained his body in such a state? He was pretty f**** powerful man. Only one other force user was shown to maintain such a state, and that was Lord Simus, apparently "the greatest Sith Alchemist" of his time. If Sion learned a technique that Simus could pull off, you bet he is one badass Sith Lord.
Not to mention that the Sion before then was not the Sion he is now. Notice how I said Darth Sion not Jedi youngling Sion. Same deal with Shimarra. Shimmarra spent several years on his combat during his time as the supreme overlord. Sion spent 5 years mastering the arts of "pain" so that he reached a physically invincible state. You can't handicap these guys, taking away Sions invincibility is like taking away Shimmarra's years of training.
Simus did not keep himself together with blind hate, he had enough power and knowledge to do so, and Kreia herself says that Sion was bound by will, Simus will or no will would have survived regardless, eroding Sion's will kill him, unlike Simus, he would die.
Notice that any Jedi that was intelligent and able to fend off Sion's attacks will be able to defeat him, Obi Wan with his soresu and his abilty to erode Sion's will will take him down. Shimarra, loses purely because of Sion's regeneration ability. No, Sion has an advantage here, he isn't more powerful, he just has blind hate on his side, that keeps him going. It's likely a Shimarra with no training will take down a Sion with no training.
Any Sith/Jedi with a brain and average amount of skill will take Sion down. So Kyp Durron is able to control a black hole, does that even put him near Luke in terms of power? No.
No Darth Sion, is likely to have had a mortal body before he entered the state he was in, due to some unknown cause, he crushed his bones and damaged his organs beyond repair, its pure hatred that wills him to live.
If Shimarra discovers his weakness and exploits it, Sion will go down hard. Notice that his force abilities and saber skills are short of amazing.
You have no proof that his saber skills and force powers were average. I completely agree with Zephiel on this. Sion isn't like Nihilus. He worked and trained and learnt his technique. That is evidence of how powerful he must have been. You would have a case if you said that Nihilus' saber skills and force powers sucked, but that is because he was basically given his technique. I actually rate Sion above Revan.

Oh really? Considering in deleted scenes, Nihilus owns Sion's ass, with both the force and lightsaber skills.
Listen moron, my argument was that he must have been pretty powerful without his ability. Not Ragnos powerful but maybe as powerful as someone like Windu. So while I don't think that he is powerful enough to do that, I still think he is incredibly powerful. And for the record I don't think that Ragnos would be able to do that but was saying that if he was as powerful as you guys seem to think he is, he could possibly do so.

You were the one, saying in a Ragnos vs Nihilus thread, what if Ragnos chucked an instakill before Nihilus could eat the force out of him. So if you believe that, wouldn't it apply here, since you obviously consider Sion above Ragnos.
If he said that then it's very inaccurate. You see, Nihilus eats the force, so if you throw an instakill at him, he'll just eat it.
