Funny, he "specializes in AoE based talents" (I've never heard this before), yet he's never actually matched Luke's AoE telekinetic attacks during the Vong war. 👆
Palpatine developed some AoE capabilities as well but he did not put them to good use against Strike Teams. He put more faith in his dueling skills in such scenarios.
He's been faced with precisely one strike team in his life, and actually does overwhelm pretty much all of them within seconds. The idea that the protag strike teams could've taken him down is lolworthy.
Darth Malgus and Revan were able to affect entire Strike Teams with their telekinetic abilities.
Why do you keep repeating this point in awkward, cringe-worthy language without bothering to explain why this matters? These strike teams are collectively not a match for Vitiate; the fact that Vitiate "specializes in AoE attacks" doesn't change the fact that he still needs to be more powerful than them for those AoE attacks to work. It's more impressive, as Freshest points out, to Force push Sidious on a dark side nexus (and, I'd say, UnuThul) than a strike team collectively weaker than him.
Of course, you reply to this point by claiming that affecting people telekinetically doesn't matter...while basing your entire argument on how Revan and Malgus can affect people telekinetically. 😆
