Did Darth Bane Succeed Where The Ancients Failed?

Nadd clearly wanted to, seeing as he drew up the blueprints for an armour to handle it and made partial efforts in controlling their power.

Nowhere is it said "I was gonna, but it just hurt too bad" or "I was gonna, but I didn't like the look of it." That part is just conjecture.

And Bane actually made the armor and wore it before becoming convinced that it wasn't worth it and trying to get rid of it. That Nadd looked into it and considered it doesn't mean he had to have failed to do it.

Bane thought the armour was preventing him from making a holocron, but he was wrong. He then wanted to keep the orbalisks. I've not read the whole book but I'm unaware that it's said anywhere that Bane wanted them removed. It's said he "lost" them at the end, last time I looked.

Bane decides to re-evaluate after discovering that, but he doesn't dismiss the idea out of hand. There are clear downsides of them, like how he almost killed Zannah in a blind rage that one time. But really, Nadd could have just died before finishing his research. There could be any number of reasons why Nadd never went ahead with the armor. It's ridiculous to suggest Bane is better based purely on this.

I still fail to see how the orbalisk-'mastery' proves Bane>ancient Sith?

Pretty cool. Bane lives needs to be a new meme.

>Kun's amulet merely channels his own rage into beams of dark side energy.
>Bane doesn't think they'll make him more powerful.
>Somehow this means Bane > Kun.

Seems legit.

I think it was stated in the DLOTS that the amulet doubles the blasts' potency.

His rage doubled, and continued to multiply the more pissed/more energy he put into it.

I checked the source again. And you are right. But why does Exar Kun need a pair of gauntlets for that? I guess I'll never understand.

Oh, new argument. The Ancient Sith can't channel their anger properly, whereas modern Sith can. Bane > Kun. 🙂

Lmao

Bane lives.
