Really? Thanks, that clears some things up.
Literature always helps in matters that may not be properly evaluated or understood through gameplay scenarios.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily out of their range. However I have no plans on turning this point into a protracted and drawn-out argument.

and Krayt is vastly superior to jedi of his era who've taken out hordes of sith by themselves. Again, not trying to lowball it, just saying that it isn't unprecedented.

...Except we don't know the direct circumstances of the confrontation. Did he use a ritual? Because on-screen he really hasn't ever displayed such power. Take Revan, for example. If the Emperor was capable of annihilating a dark council on the fly, Revan wouldn't have lasted 5 seconds against Vitiate.
Their are some applications that can be used to quickly destroy living beings and it is a realistic possibility that Emperor Vitiate had command of such applications.
Now, as much authors may wank Emperor Vitiate, they also need to tell a story. If Emperor Vitiate is depicted as doing his best in every scenario, their wouldn't much story to tell, right? 😉
Revan's performance against Emperor Vitiate may seem impressive but holistically he never stood a chance against such a powerful Force-user. In-fact, Emperor Vitiate would have reduced Revan to ash if he wanted to but changed his mind during combat process, T3-M4 became the casualty in Revan's place instead.
If Emperor Vitiate really wanted to kill Revan, the latter surely wouldn't have lasted even 5 seconds as you put. Heck, it is explicitly pointed out in the novel that even the Strike Team of Revan, Scourge and Meetra would have lost to Emperor Vitiate.
Btw, you know how I often talk about the effectiveness of numbers?
That applies more to sabers than to force. It's not *as* hard to target two people in the force as it is to fight two people physically, or fight one physically while dealing with another in the force. If things cannot close to physical, then while some splitting of attention is required, it's not too hard to track two foes at once.
So it's mostly additive.

Couldn't agree more. While Vitiate can defend against their combined attacks, all he has to do is take down one of them. After that, its a slaugther.

When Vitiate obliterated the strike team of Braga and co., was any of the following involved:a) preparation
b) ritual
c) charging up power/lightning
d) location strong with the dark side
A) No
B) No, he doesn't always need to do rituals, unlike what so many say.
C) No. What the ****s wrong with charging lighting though?
D) NO. Its been explained so many ****ing times already! It was in a NON NEXUS, in fact as I've already said, Vitiate himself is a Nexus, so all his feats are Nexus one's if you want to be technical.
