Perhaps I simply haven't paid enough attention, but where has it been proven that Bane's armor could stop Kun from putting an amulet bolt through his chest?
If my post implied that, then my bad. As for whether the blasts can get through the armour, they can't, given that not even lightsabers can, and both are energy based beams, however they would still be able to get through the minor gaps in the armour. But so what? What's honestly stopping Bane from destroying Kun's amulets, pushing the blasts back at Kun, attacking Kun before he can use them, dodging them, or simply blocking them with a force shield?

The power of an amulet blast is much more potent than one from a lightsaber, and it multiplies with Kun's rage. So, if Bane gets him really pissed, your boy is toast. There's nothing to suggest that the Orbalisks can stop the blasts - and, as you say - it can indeed get through the gaps in the armor.
One shot, and Bane falls dead.
Seriously, attacking Kun before he can use them? Is there some sort of start-up process that I'm not aware of? Destroying his amulets? How? Pushing them back? How? Prove that he can block it with a Force shield, as well.
Sorry, Nebaris, but the Bane fanboyism has a limit, and even implying that Bane's gonna just take him out of the fight with any semblance of ease is sheer stupidity.
Edit: Then, of course, Bane will have to handle a free-for-all fight with the other Sith Lords running chaotic about. Assuming that any of them have a shred of intelligence (if he does indeed kill Kun), they will likely team up against him ('cuz that's what Sith do), and then he's WTFpwned.

Well given the small fact about the minor gaps in the armour, the orbalisks are useless in the sense that they could solely stop the blasts, however while we're discussing it, where are amulet blasts shown to be more potent than the blade of a lightsaber? And only the magnitude of the blasts multiplies with Kun's rage (IIRC), not the sheer destructive power, so in the sense that whether the blasts can get through the armour or not, the whole rage multiplying thing is irrelevant.

For the amulet blasts? Well for the record, there's no proof that they're instantaneous, so there could well be a start-up process. My point is, if Bane somehow engages Kun before Kun is willing to use the amulets, then the amulet blasts would be pretty ineffective. I'm not saying that Bane can definitely act first, but it's possible, and I was just taking it into consideration.
Destroying his amulets? How?
Force crush? Force drain?
Pushing them back? How?
TK... If Bane can effect something like a moon with TK, amulet blasts shouldn't be too big a problem.
Prove that he can block it with a Force shield, as well.
1. Bane has quite plainly displayed more impressive use of the force than Kun, so logic dictates he'd be able to defend against anything Kun throws at him.
2. Bane's offensive capabilities are shown to be much more destructive than the amulet blasts themselves, so if Bane just applied the same destructive use of the force into defencive use of the force, it's likely he'd be able to easily defend against the blasts.

Where did I imply ease? I just think Bane firmly has this, I never said it would be easy... And for the record, I've toned down bigtime on the Bane loving, the only reason this is my username is because I requested it like 2 months ago.

That's what sith do? They work together? Really, it's idiotic to take factors like that into account, just say who you think is the most powerful will win, that's what the threads about.

"With each pulse of [Kun's] anger, the amulet doubles the power of its discharge!", the magnitude seems to grow as well, but that could merely be due to the angles of which the blasts were portrayed. In any case, they do multiply in terms of their strength.
there can only be one. And as far as the Sith teaming up, yes that's exactly what they do, hence the rule of two. If there were any more, they two apprentices would team up to kill the Master. And if they view Bane as a big threat, why would they not take out they're competition then go all out on each other? And this wont be a 1 on 1 between Kun and Bane, bane could be distracted with the others and Kun could unleash blasts taking out Bane and whoever is close to him.
