The Hero of Tython vs Exar Kun

Lets go baby!

Setting is in the place Sidious fought Maul + Savage.

HoT. Kun's not gaining any advantage with sorcery imo.

Hmm, Kun's leading in the votes. I'm undecided myself.

HoT easily,

How teh fahk is Kun leading?

Exar Kun is the second most powerful sith lord behind Palpatine, get your facts straight, this is a stomp.

Ahem. I believe the HoT is now leading in the voting.
My fault? Maaaaaybe.

Kun > Vitiate as second most powerful Sith? I'd rather go with Vitiate personally.

How is HoT going to get around the amulet blasts?

What has Kun done with his blasts outside the temple?

When has Obi-Wan been seen shitting in the movies or comics?

CLEARLY HE CANNOT DO SO.

Also, I voted for the rag on the stick. It was too stupid to pass up.

I don't think Intrepid was doubting he could do it, just questioning how powerful it would actually be outside the temple, which Tempest says possesses 'tremendous energies.'

The narration notes its coming from his own rage and doubles in power every time. It does not say anything about the energies aiding this power whatsoever, so assuming otherwise begs for proof.

Yup. That's why he used it for the ritual when he drained the inhabitants.

Ritual != Amulet blasts in combat.

I'm not following you here.

huh

Those eloquent replies are killing me.

Yeah, but its the amulet that is artificially amping his rage and his 'dark energies' that fuels the amulet. If his power was increased by the energies of the temple, would that not increase the power of the amulet blasts?

This is a problem that I've brought up with Tempest: Do we assume that people are amped by nexuses by merely being on them? Does it need to be said at all or is it enough for the nexus to be there? Personally, I would agree with you but I'm bringing it up anyway.

lol @ Kun>Vitiate. Vitiate is canonically the more powerful one.

Hm, good point. Is there a buff? I think so. How measurable is that buff is the real question. If the narration said "the amulet drew upon the dark energies and, coupled with his own inner rage, unleashed powerful blasts" I'd be absolutely inclined to say that the amulets are situational and probably shouldn't even be brought up. But the narration notes specifically the interplay between Kun's rage and the amulet itself.

^ This is pretty explicit.

It's also activated any time Sadow or Kun use Force powers regardless of location, which seems to say that it is amplifying the user independently of a nexus. There's the point at which Kun is using the Force to manipulate the chancellor and the amulet sparks.

I wouldn't base this off canonical statements since these:

"The most powerful and dangerous of all Sith Lords, Exar Kun was once the apprentice of the Jedi Master Vodo Siosk-Baas" (The Official Star Wars Fact File)

were applied to Exar Kun.

Vitiate was alive at the time, still building up his Empire, so would that not indicate Kun is more powerful than him? Even if he were only 'once' the most powerful Sith, that would still imply he was more powerful than Vitiate was in the time he lived.

You make a good argument. So you don't believe the temple amplified the blasts or the power of the amulet?
