It's not like drain is a completely perfect, one hundred percent infallible move. Revan was said to have been the strongest of the Sith at that point, that includes Nihilus.
And a 'full amulet blast' is just as infallible...he'd have to assume there isn't a defend, a way to redirect or divert the energy or simply destroy and restrict the gauntlets....let alone dodge them
well there has no evidence of the blast being redirected at all, seems best way is to dodge or cut off the hand with the amulet
drain not perfect? could be true but at that time the republic didnt know who nihilus was, not even malak and revan knew,
and yet 5 years later nihilus destroyed an entire planet in seconds.
palpatine would have to rely on other powers like a force storm from a distance, he cant risk it killing him as well because he cant drain nihilus since hes a wound as visas said so
There's no evidence of the damn blast being used on a strong force user whatsoever..
And here's a little bit of trivia: Revan's holocron-which contained info on Malachor V and the Thought Bomb thats fundamental principle was draining was passed down through Bane's order. Plus the ability to cut oneself off, but possible defenses, plus looping.
he can risk killing Nihilus on the spot instantanteously with his anger alone
a blast on aleema? and the sith wyrm
and is there any proof that looping to defend against drain been passed down? i thought only lukehad mastered that.
and no palpatine wouldnt risk that, drain is far too fast. he will more like use crush because nihilus would be immobalised one crush gets on him
well and palpatine only learnt drain when he found some damm holocron right?
but against someone who also has anger? and even though the wyrm isnt a force user it is still a danger, it could kill any1 if they are stupid.
and doesnt it take a second to kill some one with anger? that would make him a god, why didnt he kill luke with it then?
yea palpatine knows all those technique but i hardly see him use it, the spear thing, killing with anger, i more of see him try to beat his opponents to death with his trademark lightning or saber duel.
note that if palpatine underestimates any1 of those tough opponents, theres a chance he could get killed, which obviously might not happen, hed more of turn them to do his dirty work
and lightsnake, when u say DE palpatine do you imagine to old guy or the young clone? just curious...
why would it not work? Point is, the wyrm had no way to defend itself like a Sith Lord or Master Jedi would.
Sidious claims the anger kill is instant. Meaning he thinks it and they die. He taught Luke the ability when Luke was his apprentice, meaning Luke would've been able to counter it.
And let's not forget those opponents might underestimate Palp, too. And when I say DE Palp, I imagine him in his young body. At his peak
ok well sidious only claimed its instant, we havnt seen it yet,
in a full scale force battle sidious would beat exar,nihilus and ragnos though because in a full scale thats when people use their full power
sidious most of the time i see relys on lightning and his lightsaber skills
he seems to only use major powers when he starts to lose, like loosing his hand and then he gets pissed off making a force storm.
i mean yea ok he learnt all those abilities, but he he doesnt use them fully to its maximum, id love to see him do force spear, ya know using the force to make some kindof spear..
but saber + force wise it depends on the situation, if his opponent can get the upperhand then the opponent has the advantage, but in a full scale battle sidious has the advantage cuz of all the techniques.
1 last thing does sidious has to keep transferring clones? like his body dehydrates adter a time
o ya well about the amulet palpatine wouldnt risk standing infront of exars blast wouldnt he? he would problably go a distance and start hurling those force spear things
