PoD Bane runs the Vanilla TOR Gauntlet

Darth Bane as of Path of Destruction runs this gauntlet to see where he would stand if he lived during SWTOR era.

Starting distance is 15 meters in each fight, and he gets full rest between them.

Standard morals, neutral ground. All characters are in their primes, unless stated otherwise.

Warm-up Round: Darth Skotia

Round 1: Satele Shan (Hope)

Round 2: Aryn Leneer

Round 3: Barsen'thor (Act I)

Round 4: Darth Baras

Round 5: Deceived Malgus

Round 6: Darth Nox (Act III)

Boss: The Hero of Tython (Act III)

What has Bane done to put him over Darth Skotia at this point in his career?

Leveling the Rakatan temple on Lehon. Which had stood for tens of thousands of years, almost completely undamaged. Said temple also remained structurally sound after being bombarded by turbolaser fire from a Harrower class dreadnought. The temple remained standing after that, yet Bane was able to level it with a Force push/wave.

4 probably. Tbh Barsen'thor MIGHT be able to do it...not sure

what puts act 3 hot above malgus?

Deceived Malgus? Kek

You two seem to think Bane stops the earliest (aside from Carthage). I'm not exactly that familiar with Baras, so mind shedding some light on his capabilities?

Well, Baras is one of the most powerful Lords in the Sith Empire and "nearly indestructible" per Vowrawn, another Dark Councillor. He managed to fool the Council into at least considering the notion of him being the Emperor's Voice, and given that Voices typically wield the power of the Emperor that's pretty impressive.

In combat, there's him holding off Angral and Satele's lightsaber assaults (he doesn't fight them long enough for a conclusive outcome, but it's basically a stalemate), one-shotting Angral with Lightning, and him being knifed in the back by a Sith assassin and then proceeding to kill said assassin with a burst of Lightning. In the game, he also senses the precise coordinates of his lightsaber from across the galaxy in a few moments.

A few good durability feats like being smashed into crystals with TK to no effect, and he shakes his room when he gets enraged in the game.

It was said Baras vs Wrath was mad close, IIRC.

But to prove such a bold claim to the Dark Council, the Wrath battles Darth Baras in a fierce duel. The Wrath emerges triumphant, striking down the ruined and seething Darth Baras.

Compared to the Nox vs Thanaton fight, which was described as a slaughter.
