If you were a Dark Side user in SW at any point in time and could select any Sith to mentor you, who would you pick and why?

This seems like something where not even the Bane haters can underestimate him. Bane was a ruthless bastard as befits a Sith but he also had principles and ideals that means he wouldn't just randomly kill or betray you. He honestly wants you to succeed.

In a similar vain, Traya is a good choice.

I'm pretty sure most dark siders would be pissed off by Traya's abstract teachings as Nihilus and Sion were.

None of them. I wouldn't want to be a dark sider.

Probably Plagueis or Dooku. Seem to be less cruel and very intelligent. It depends if I feel like being more of a saber mystro or a force titan

Palpatine, he won't kill you unless you really **** up and you'd gain a significant position within the GE, controlling abundance of resources depending where you end up(I'd probably either be a Hand or Inquisitor, both have access to plentiful resources). I wouldn't wanna become uber powerful really, that would lead to something of a target being place on your back.

I'd be happy with significant power and vast resources to back that up.

If I had to pick, Caedus seems to be one of the less cruel sith.

This is easy, but I'll see if anybody else thinks the same.

Ventress, then we could be lovers.

Lana. She's like, the nicest Sith ever.

She isn't and never was, a Sith. Noob.

Lana Beniko, she seems kind and cute

Kreia tbh

Lana is a good choice actually. Still Ventress tho.

Dooku would wave hi but he's missing his arms. And a head, because treachery is the way of Sidious.

I question placing yourself in the care of a man who executed his subordinates then put their souls in new bodies so e ecould re-kill them.

Palpatine didn't do that on a whim though. He only did the spirit thing once on the Death Star architect and he colossally ****ed up(even though he technically didn't do anything wrong.)

Cronal, Jerec, Palps Hands/Dark Adepts weren't in any danger from him. The worst Palps did was cut off their access to knowledge(Jerec) or switch their positions(Cronal) and those 2 were pretty powerful and Palps Dark Adepts were also noted to be significantly powerful and Palps didn't really do anything to them either.

So I'd take being a Hand since this is being trained by Palps, wouldn't be overly powerful to be much a threat to him and be able to acquire any Imperial resources for use.

Plagueis, hands down.

Talon, for no particular reason

You mentioned Bane, so are we talking just Banite, or everyone?

He also mentioned Traya, I think the answer might be obvious.

Caedus or Kun.

Yeah, Caedus was a great master. What with all the torture and everything.

Lana, or Lumiya.

Dooku without a doubt

Bane

Plagueis probably.

Potentially, I'd want: Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis, Exar Kun, or Asajj Ventress.

Aside from the fact that she has so much less knowledge of the Force than anyone else there... are you sure you could handle those full lips m8?

Vitiate would be a fantastic master, just look at Exal Kressh

Don't really care too much about that, since she's just cool in general and an impressive fighter. Plus, she has Nightsister tradition and lore that could be fun to explore.

As for her lips, I don't think anyone can actually handle them.

Dooku seemed to not have a problem when he was raping her in DR

Krayt, Malgus or Ulic would be cool.

Also feel like Savage with years of experience would have made for a great teacher, given his aptitude for learning and the fact he comes from a tight-knit Nightbrother background that's less cruel than traditional Sith.

Darth Millenial. I would learn what he had to teach and use the great precognitive abilities gained via his teachings to pin-point Set Harth's location. Kill him, take andeddu's holocron, and live for centuries.

Cognus's pre-cog>>>

Training under Cognus would mean I'd be part of the rule of two. It would be expected for me to take on an apprentice who would later kill me. Darth Millenial is a safer bet.

Yeah but you could train under the obviously superior Darth Cognus then run away like a ***** like Millenial did if you're that concerned about your survival.

Sidious easy, why learn from anyone less powerful?

Because they won't **** you over obviously.

Darth Plagueis easily.

It wasn't THAT bad, by no means good but not horrible.

Plagueis is damn harsh in his training, but once you get past that he's the best.

That said, I'm going with Vectivus. If the stories are true.

Good point. Except, I think she'd be less likely to let her second student go.

Vectivus.

Plagueis

What are the stories?

And I don't get the attraction people feel towards Ventress tbh.

That Vectivus didn't harbor the typical ill emotions and evil mindset of Sith and that he just learnt the dark side of the Force for the sake of his own wellbeing/protection or something like that. He apparently died surrounded by family and friends or something.

Ergo - if it's true, he's kind of the only normal Sith.

But Maul begging Sheev to "Have mercy, please, PLEASE" is manly, right?

He means Issue #4, where Maul pretty much just channels power into Talzin to let her hold off Palpatine.

Darth Gravid.

You mean with Talzin by his side. Once Talzin died, he started crying again. He knows he can't challenge Palpatine without Talzin's aid.

You mean in the heart of her power with Maul and an army of Nightsisters/Nightbrothers by her side? Yes, it's no wonder that he chose to have some backup.

Who held back?

Palpatine so I can ride his cawk

Vectivus, Caedus or Beniko

Darth Plaguies. Immortality FTW!

^ Correct Answer. Silly Sheev

Plagueis.

Normally I would pick Sidious or Tyranus, but either way I'll be a pawn and have my head lobbed off eventually.

So it seems the academics and scholarly individuals are the go here?
Traya and Plagueis are two of the 'nicer' Sith also

Traya's hardly "nice". You'd be looking for Vectivus if you desired that trait.

Gravid or Gean are good, as well, tbh.

I don't expect Gean to be nice, lol.

Well she would treat you with a touch of respect. With Dooku or Sidious as your master, as soon as you become even a tiny bit powerful, betrayal comes a knockin. Like seriously, Sidious was worried that Ventress might become a partial 'threat' which is ludicrous.

Darth tyranus for me

Eh, Gravid would've had some influence on her.

Best master ever. Understanding, but assertive when needed.

lol Tyranus is exactly the type of figure who would order your death the moment he thinks you're threatening his power

I maintain that Vectivus is by far the best candidate, followed by somebody like Plagueis, provided that he thinks that you're Sidious-material

^ Nah, only if Sidious tells him.

The RotS novel has Dooku viewing everything in the universe as an asset or threat, and whenever something ceases to become an asset, it's a threat.

I wouldn't want a Master with such a black-and-white view of things.

I'm going off only that scene with him training Savage. Sidious just abuses you to the point where you become insane. Dooku's a nice mix between understanding and discipline.

Yeah, Vectivus, or Gravid. If he told me "screw dark side" then I would be like "k sure i'll bring fire"

Some, but I doubt that it is very big tbh.

Bane, to make me look better.

Sidious, dude was the best the Sith ever produced; mentally and physically, why not learn from the best amirite??

I doubt that Vectivus would kill you so easily, as Sidious would. Maybe you could be even friends with him.
Dooku or Sidious wojld kill you, if you are just a potential threath.
