Is he still Revan+ or sub-Revan? Discuss.

MythLord
Apparently, sub-Exar Kun.

Azronger
He's sub-Exar even with the nexus.

Stronger than any Sith in history.

Nexus or not, gains from Nathema ritual are in the picture.

Care to attempt to quantify the increase from the ritual?

Your own quote says Vitiate's influence is stronger on dark side nexi laughing out loud

Nice way to debunk yourself, lol.

I think if Novel!Revan and Novel!Vitiate had been fighting on "neutral" ground, Revan would have stood a healthy chance of beating him outright, if not by equal or greater power then by superior skill.

Azronger
I'd say I agree.

You have comprehension problems?

Revelation is that Vitiate's influence over his subjects (i.e. Imperial Guard) is strongest in a location that is strong in the Dark Side. That is why he chose such locations as training grounds for Imperial Guard. This influence refers to strength of bonding between Vitiate and Imperial Guard. Darth Nyriss remarked that Imperial Guard won't betray Vitiate on Dromund Kaas for example.

See Valkorion respect thread.

Blatantly stronger than Revan or Kun.

Yes, his influence is strongest in such locations because he's amped, lmao.

A bit below Revan.

So much for AP's argument that he is the DK nexus.

Kun was amped on Yavin 4 too, though.

Sure; not on Ossus. But Abeloth and the Pool of Knowledge were darker.

Here's the thing - Kun's quote, even if taken to apply to Vitiate, would not account for the nexus. So on the nexus, Vitiate could still be more powerful. thumb up

Vitiate spends most of his time on Dromund Kaas, so I'd wager Kun's quote applies to him.

No, quotes never apply over circumstantial factors such as a nexus.

If Kun is stated to be the darkest power in the galaxy, then that would include nexus-amped beings as well, so long as they reside in the galaxy.

SunRazer
No, because the nexus and the character are different powers. So Kun's quote cannot apply to both, only one.

Yes, but the character amped by the nexus is a singular entity, so it applies thumb up

SunRazer
But they're different powers, which is the point in question. Kun may be a greater power than Vitiate alone, but Vitiate on the nexus is a different story. Such a quote can only refer to a single source of power, not multiple.

Eh, I guess that's a fair interpretation, although I'd personally treat Vitiate as a singular being whether his power is amplified or not.

SunRazer
It's not confirmed that Vitiate is more powerful than Kun on the nexus, but the possibility for argument is definitely there.

By SWTOR, he's factually more powerful than Kun off-nexus, though.

SunRazer
That doesn't contradict anything given here.

I found it: it's from the Imperial Guard Academy codex entry. Vitiate sucks even more than I thought smile
