Not feat-wise, though as NewGuy said, Revan is the more powerful force user, so his TK is likely superior.

Tanking Vitiate's TK >>> Ventress getting ragdolled by Dooku.

Didn't Vitiate force push him right before trying to TP him?

Yeah? The fact is that Vitiate can't ragdoll Revan like he could someone like Ventress.

Perhaps he wasn't trying to ragdoll Revan, and was just trying to distance Revan in order to use his TP.

If he was capable of it he would have done it after his TP had failed though, surely.

Besides, ragdolling with TK is clearly much easier than the stated effort his TP takes.

The fact remains, every member of that order was trained with the ambition of becoming the Dark Lord. They also all had access to an incredible wealth of Sith knowledge and skills. Even if they didn't necessarily get stronger through each generation, due to many of them killing their master through cheating, they were all immensely powerful through their vast knowledge, great ambition, and training to one day be the Dark Lord of the Sith.

Your assumption about entire Rule of Two lineage having access to incredible wealth of Sith knowledge and skills is incorrect. Darth Gravid caused a major setback to the lineage in this respect and generations later Darth Plagueis was left with no alternative but to experiment with Midi-chlorians to achieve results that would have been possible with ancient dark arts.

As I said Q99, Wyyrlok, that guy you mentioned(who was it btw?), Nihl, and possibly Maladi are the exceptions to the rule.

Exceptions in terms of attitude, there's a good number who are strong without, yet, having developed ambition outside the normal route of power.

Remember that even Maul didn't get ambitious until after he'd gotten sliced in half. Or some fairly major members of the dark council under Vitiate, like Thanaton.

Plenty of One Sith are well-trained in the force, it's just only a few have gotten strong enough to strain against the restrictions of their roles. After all, even a major military leader like Azard, who's pretty strong, still can aim for becoming Fist, so his ambition doesn't feel restricted in the same way Nihl's and Wyyrlok's does.


Oh yeah!!! How's Nihl doing as Dark Lord?

Well, he doesn't really come up specifically ^^;; I mean, there's sith infiltrators everywhere, and some of them are involved in some impressive stuff, so by extension you can figure he's behind it, but don't expect to see much of the Legacy 1 cast outside the Triumvirate.

Legacy 2 is a narrower story to an extent. We follow Aina Solo and Jao Assim, galactic events are only lightly touched on, unlike Legacy 1 where it showed all the major players.

Gravid destroyed about half of the knowledge of his time. And having half the knowledge left is still a pretty ****ing immense amount of knowledge, because even at the order's first Dark Lord, Bane, they already had the knowledge of four legendary Sith Lords and a library full of Sith knowledge. With half of the pre-Gravid knowledge, plus the growth in knowledge in the centuries after Gravid's death, you get a pretty immense amount of knowledge. Plagueis had a huge ass ****ing library of Sith knowledge.

@Q99 who was the Sith who pushed that thing with the IK?

It was Wredd. They worked together to push it onto other sith who, for obvious reasons, don't like Wredd or Imperial Knights.

Yes!!! I was hoping you'd say that.

Mind you, Wredd is, I believe, the third strongest sith we've been introduced to in Legacy 2 (including his own master, of course), and we've seen another that's given him a good fight.

There's not a lack of strong Sith, in other words.

So anyway, I think people underestimate the OS and are thinking that outside Krayt's inner circle there's a major drop-off, when really I can name a half-dozen other significantly powerful sith lords... and even that's almost certainly just a sampling, we don't know how many other high rank commanders like Azard and Luft are around.

Kinda funny how Wredd wants to go back to the Rule of Two.

Someone always wants to change it to whatever rule they aren't using!

And in Rule of One, he faces a lot of competition if he desires the top spot. Less in Rule of Two... though with the problem that moving from One to Two is going to be very hard.

he hasnt impressed me at all

Feats for Wredd?

Eh.. Nothing really

Last issue he and a junior Imperial Knight worked together to push over a several hundred foot across communication dish.

He earlier took down said Imperial Knight aided by an AG-37 (assassin droid, related to the IG line) in direct combat, and fought well with said knight's master. Disabled Ania Solo by, with a gesture, wrapping a lot of metal struts around her.

He's also hunted down and killed a number of other Sith.

Probably some other things I'm forgetting.

You have an odd definition of 'nothing really' ^^

Now, mind, his ambitions still seem a *bit* big for his level of power, he's still not the strongest sith around, but Wredd's no pushover.
