Well honestly her feat of defeating a Echani Warrior - who have highly advanced precognitive senses, who was also a Jedi and a skilled Hand-to-hand combatant was impressive - EVEN if she defeated Brianna With the force their duel shows that she's no fodder, and aside from the exile being able to quickly pick up, learn and use Atris' form against her, many people fail to even bring up the fact that Atris and Meetra fought right after atris defeated Brianna and while this doesn't put her above TCW/SoD Maul it definitely puts her above TPM Maul.

I put Desaan below Savage, so he's definitely taken out. [/QUOTE]
Desann was able to duel somewhat on par with Luke, regardless of how that fight went it is still an impressive accolade/feat as how many people can say they survived an encounter with Luke? and if your enough of a smartass to name those people weren't they all powerful? granted he did lose with an amp but he's still an impressive Dark Jedi. Also I've been thinking that Because he was trained by Luke it could be that his familiarity with Luke's form could've played a part in his surviving their encounter.

*Sigh. Oh I grow tired of your nonsensical babbling carthage, your disregard for KoTOR era and its Champions along with the facts we(Emperor and Myself) provide you, you remains as ignorant as ever - though in this case I wouldn't be surprised if everyone here agrees with you and nor do I mind, but please don't be a fool and Say Maul can Ragdoll Atris. How about a short list of her accomplishments hmm?
-#1. Trained the handmaidens
-#2. Was a member and a jedi master of the high council
-#3. in cut content Kreia passed the mantle of Darth Traya to her!
-#4. She was a MASTER of Juyo.
#5. She was surrounded by Ancient Sith holocrons where she had gained knowledge of her dark-sided abilities
-#6 her foresight was so powerful that she knew what would happen at Katar.
-#7 She dueled Brianna and right afterwards the exile, twice.
So please carthage see that Atris is not as featless as you so claim. "The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about" Wayne Dyer

She still surprised Briana with the Force. She shocks her shortly after they cross sabers for a while. Brianna is not as well trained, and thus cannot deal with the lightning, having Precog doesn't teach you Tutaminis, which is essential for blocking Lightning. It does matter. Second, Brianna was trained by Atris. It's not as if her father taught her everything she knew as a young child. Precog or not, there was no chance that she would be able to stand up to a highly trained Jedi Master that taught her most of her techniques.
your points are spot one, however you of all people should know that tutaminus isn't the only thing that can be used to shield a lightning attack we need only look at Kenobi during the battle with Dooku. Still you made good points 👆

Also keep in mind, Brianna has to fight through each and everyone of her sisters without trying to kill them.
I was lead to believe that was cut-content and as such Non-Canon? or are you simply using that in the same way I used Kreia passing the mantle of Traya to Atris?

Luke, for all his power, isn't that great of a duelist. He has never fought aggressively against anyone, something I consider laughable due to him being a user of Djem So. Desann used strength, and was amped at the time, as was his entire army. In the end, he didn't hurt Luke in the slightest. I've admitted that it was impressive, but it does not put him above Savage.
I'm assuming you mean that luke wasn't that great of a duelist during Kyle's Hunt for Desann and Jaden's destruction of the ragnos cult, if so I agree. if you mean to say through out his entire life time then I would calmly and passively recite the words made famous by a great actor.

Facts and a bunch of random quotes, beating featless opponents, and a ton of incestuous "what if" type scenarios actually mean nothing
[quote]-#1. Trained the handmaidens
This says nothing about her fighting ability. Maul was the most skilled Sith in history, so what if she trained a bunch of mook characters?
-#2. Was a member and a jedi master of the high council

And Maul fought the best of his age, nothing Atris has done even puts her above Qui Gon much less Maul
So please carthage see that Atris is not as featless as you so claim. "The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about" Wayne Dyer [/B]
Nothing you've posted resembles any concrete feats and in no way showcases her abilities. So nice try

Sort of, Luke skills fluxuate with the moment, I mean, rather than the opponent, nor does he fight aggressively enough for my tastes. I'll admit a little bias against him.
True. For some reason, Luke can go from a powerful, but rather unimpressive combatant to a martial genius with no equal, depending on the book and/or author. It's pretty frustrating, actually. One thing I'm confused about, though, is your remark about Luke's combat skills. You said Luke was unimpressive to you because he never really fought aggressively. Obi-Wan didn't fight aggressively after TPM. In fact, he mastered the most defensive form, and he was regarded as one of the top duelists in the Order. My mistake if I just misunderstood what you were saying.
You are the definition of word Imbecile, but I expected nothing noneless from you and as such I was prepared.

The "what ifs" shows what she could've become and unlike your precious Saesee Tiin she actually has dueling feats, Imbecile.

LMAO, Maul is in no way the "Most Skilled Sith in history" such as an assumption is laughable. These Handmaiden's were highly skilled to the point were all 5 of them were able to fight on par with Meetra Surik in un-armed combat - granted they were defeated, but it shows that Atris was skilled enough to teach them powerful techniques.

And Maul has killed two high ranking Jedi masters, as well as this says nothing about her abilities/feats as well. I guess Coleman Trebor and Even Piell are special since they're council members
And those two jedi are nothing compared to the Exile a user of Makashi. Soresu, Shii-Cho and Juyo, the one who defeated armies of sith from onderon, sith mercenaries on Dantooine, fought Hissis and Sith Assassins on Korriban, who at this point has learned the powerful and extremely rare Force Enlightenment technique, has been taught Battle Precognition from Brianna, learned to resist force users from Atton and has become a dangerous duelist and force user. who Atris has dueled the exile, Twice. after she dueled Brianna. Atris is the only person to have Survived an encounter with the exile, the only Jedi Master to have clashed with her. Please point me to some thing that compares Atris to Anoon Bondara? or maybe Qui-Gon Jinn? she may not be able to defeat TCW/SoD Maul but she can take TPM Maul down.

Exactly why I said Non-Canon you git.
Originally posted by carthage
And? What notable opponents with feats has she beaten with her mastery?
It allowed her to duel on par with the exile, which is more than can be said for Anoon Bondara who despite being a master of all Seven forms fell to Maul and Qui-Gon who despite his mastery of Ataru he fell to Maul. and here's a quote supporting Atris as a duelist and force user.
"All This Collected Knowledge, All these teaching of Combat and The Force - They Are Mine To Command"
- Atris. this shows that she has learned much in terms of both combat and the dark-side.

The prove their effectiveness with feats
Well they are the reason she learned Force Lightning, Force Slow, Force Choke and Force Drain very quickly....
Originally posted by carthage

Unlike Jedi master's Like Zhar Lestin, Vandar Takare and the other jedi who died at Katar she was the only one who "Sensed what would happen at Katar" while the others did not. this could play a part in combat for her.

And now I await for your response which will most likely ignore all of my claims and say that I should try harder and will probably include a comment saying I should stop being a KoTOR fan boy
