Again, HoT face a weakened Emperor, Revan faced a fully powered Emperor.For Vitiate, that human body he possessed may as well have been a decaying clone like the one Sidious used in Empire's End before his final death; compared to his original, Sith Pureblood body, the one that was supposedly "immortal". And so he had difficulty battling HoT when his body could not meet the demands of his spirit.
The original body was strengthened by the ritual, not those of his Voices. That's why he used his voices, to protect his original body, he couldn't risk its destruction, that's how precious it was. I do believe it probably aged away without his spirit, which was why he needed to perform the other ritual.
Please lock thread now.
Yeah, and again, HoT fought him in one of the most powerful darkside nexus' in the galaxy after fighting through the Imperial Guard who "the mightiest of Sith have laid down their lightsabers and surrendered to the inevitable death offered by a guardsman's electrostaff. Even members of the Dark Council fear the Imperial Guard, though many would die before confessing such weakness."
Its not clear that it wasn't Vitiates real body. In fact, if you look right at the bottom of my profile you'll see compelling evidence that it was Vitiates real body.
Also the idea that his body was weak is complete supposition based on nothing.
