Legend claims Ant has proven in some thread long ago that Vitiate managed to bend Tol Braga's lightsaber during Act 2.

Proof?

The bend is made visible with the distinction between the red line (which should go straight up or toward the right) and the blue line (the bend after the lightning hit it).

why doesn't sidious just suddenly change and shoot lightning at mace's legs? . why aim at the one thing that can block ur lightning? one spark to mace windu's robes and they would catch alight.

So that he can make it seem like Windu's the bad guy and turn Anakin.

Legends sources describe as it only adding to existing deformity, not that he cared, like he says, "And so the mask becomes the man".

More to the point, given that no one else has ever tried this trick, one would assume that the lightning is actively drawn to the blade.

Personally I'm of the opinion that Revan putting his saber away and Arcann and the Strike Teams lightsabers being less than useless indicates that lightsabers are simply insufficient against the likes of Vitiate's full power lightning.

Why would Sidious care about deformity if he can ensure he has Anakin as his apprentice?

He was still one of his fellow Jedi who if Sidious had just killed would have been a casualty in a war against the Sith that both he and Anakin had sworn to fight. Anakin would have been far less open to Sidious's manipulations then.

By appearing as the weak victim about to be cut down he made the choice easier for Anakin.

This video segment depicts the effect of Vitiate's Force Lightning Storm on the Jedi in a more realistic manner than the game:

You can see Jedi Master Warren Sedoru screaming with pain (0:06 - 0:07) during the ordeal.

Sometimes, I wish BioWare create proper videos of these confrontations.

What is funny in that? That we needed confirmation he was in pain.

But knowing that, combined with Ant's revelations, I think I might just raise Vitiate above Sirak. mmm

But what if Sirak busts out Vaapad?

^The Dragon of Zakuul vs The True Sith'ari. That's a good fight, ngl.

This is how I view it as well, as it's the only way to make sense of things within TOR. When discussing PT vs TOR though that's gonna cause problems.

There's no way to know how powerful somebody's Lightning is unless you attempt to defend against it. That's just Drew's silly writing, which he showed earlier in the Nyriss fight.

If we're going off that logic, Tol Braga > Revan since he was able to temporarily hold off a Storm from a stronger Vitiate with his lightsaber.

That logic would fall apart under scrutiny.

Vitiate still doesn't compare to Palpatine.
