"You're special, so ghosts are drawn to you. Here's how you do it." was all it took for Nox to shoot up the Imperial ranks.
The Wrath doesn't get sabotaged training, he gets special training.
He's already a trained fighter from privilege who gets further privilege from Ironically Black Racist dude. And then he becomes Baras' apprentice despite Vemrin earning it alot more and then gets chosen as the Wrath without having to do anything.
It's noted several times that Baras doesn't actually train the Wrath because he was planning to replace him/her. And Vemrin was not powerful enough to do Baras' bidding without said training. The Wrath was far more powerful, plain and simple.
Nox was a slave, gets completely shat on on Korriban because of it, given a ton of suicide missions,
With their companion who grows stronger with every kill.
gets betrayed by her master
Right after being given several artifacts and rituals to increase their power, and Zash's entire power base. The Wrath has to build their own, in case you also forgot that detail.
and then Thanaton
Right after binding two ghosts if I recall correctly.
and has to scramble for power and desperately master it just to survive.
Like I said. Using everyone else's power isn't having the odds against you. From Act 1 onward it was very clear that Thanaton would be defeated, and easily, and low and behold he was.
