OK, add in Faeries, Arleen's ginger minge and the Maenad. TB supernatural types really do seem a little pathetic, as a whole.
Originally posted by EpicurusThey could amp the wolves to aid them against the Twili vamps. Why wouldn't they increase their formidability ?
Why would the TB vamps go about feeding a bunch of creatures they absolutely loathe? More importantly, how would they go about feeding these pathetic losers even as the Twivamps are massacring them in the dozens? And when did feeding on V physically amp a were by a thousand times?
Russell rapes any twilight vamp who gets in his way.

I was going to say that, but then even amped on v, they're basically outclassed by any vampire (I think Jessica beat one, iirc).Werepanthers were pathetic in a really funny way...

Benjamin's ability seemed to be elemental control at best, instead of actual tk as seen with Bilith. And Bilith's tk was capable of creating tremors in the earth, so it's not far off.
True. My comment goes back to an old debate regarding The Avatar. Being able to "bend the four elements" is virtually the same as telekinesis. Bending just air is telekinesis of the air (aerokineses); water bending is telekinesis of only water (aquakineses), and so forth. So if a person can "bend" all four elements, it then becomes all-purpose telekineses with one weird exception: lab chemicals. Everything else falls under "earth" or "air" but not really lab chemicals. Probably synthetic metals, too, would not count as "earth" but they are usually too unstable to really be useful in making my point.
So I just say that characters like any incarnation of The Avatar and Benjamin really just have powerful TK abilities. It is a nod to that old debate regarding The Avatar. Many posters, here, are fans of The Avatar show so I make some liberties when discussing characters like that.

According to TB-powerscaling, Warlow, Godric and Salome are on that level as well. But as far as speed is concerned, iirc twivamps on average are as fast as the average TB-vamp.
I forgot about Warlow. Since Godric didn't fight, I excluded him but, yes, he should be included and CIS turned off. I didn't know Salome died...had it look that up. I am not up to date on True Blood...I haven't watch the show in the last 2 years (and I was watching old eps 2 years ago).

It's the strength and durability which gives them the edge. I'd say the average twivamp is as strong as a super-ancient TB vamp like Russell or Warlow. And we have dozens of such vamps against dozens of the much weaker TB-vamps.Not to mention that a large portion of the twivamps have exotic abilities(shielding, telepathy, precognition, electrocution, sensory deprivation etc), as opposed to only 2 such TB vamps(Warlow's fae abilities and Bilith's tk/precog). Bilith and Warlow would make this hard to win, but at the end of the day Twivamps stomp.
These were my thoughts, as well.
Did Russell several thousand miles in a few seconds, though, when he went to kill the national news anchor on TV?

An average TB-vamp(like the 175 year old Bill) has around housefly-level reflexes/agility/reaction-time/whatnot and car-level speed.
