A feat he accomplished under dubious circumstances including an amplification. There's good reason for people to doubt his combative ability. Also, it's not a hundred Jedi. Kreia says there was a hundred Jedi after the War, and we know Sion and his Sith Assassins kill several, plus five of them survive into KotOR II.

The fact one unleashes the power in one burst, does not mean he wasn't preparing or gathering power for it in advance.
If he could do it instantly, he would have consumed Telos before the Republic arrived or Surik made it to him.
And where in the "all he needs to do is raise his hands" do you get that it happens instantly anyway? We've seen numerous force users raise their hands and spend a great deal of time channeling energy before anything happens, please tell me how Nihilus consumes them all before one of them beheads him.
Theres never any indication of preparation in any of the occasions it's used. In fact usually the person uses a different force attack immediately proceeding it. Also you forget that the Exile is constantly using the technique through the whole game with no prep, completely subconsciously.
He had perfectly valid reasons not to, as you well know.
We've seen the attack actually happening, dumdum. It's nigh-instant. I thought you'd actually played Kotor 2.

The team. These guys are some of the most powerful force weilder said in galactic history coming together. Kun with his gauntlets and Plagueis and Malgus with their TK and Lightning it's to much for Nihilus may have fought one hundred Jedi but these guys are worth more than One hundred Jedi, especially the ones Nihilus drained. These guys are trained professionals who are extremely powerful.

Also incorrect.
Firstly, the Exile isn't using his power. She's feeding off death she already caused, not killing them with a draining power. It's completely different, actually.
He really didn't. He had absolutely no idea he was being drawn into a trap. Nihilus was mindlessly pursuing hunger, if he could have done it instantly he would have.
We've seen Traya use it on individuals noticeably less powerful than she is, and we don't even know if she was prepping for it. We've seen Nihilus do it to the Exile, but since he'd been prepping to drain a planet the entire time that actually makes sense.
Even if it is instant (which you have no proof of), Dark!Exile couldn't immediately drain the masters, she had to combat them first and weaken them. Since Krayt, Caedus and Kun are all above Nihilus, is like to know how he's draining any of them off the bat let alone all of them.
I heard that in the new Restored Content version the drain didn't kill the masters; rather it weakened them and she finished them with TK. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
That is not the case. In the cut content (lightside path) Kreia uses TK just as before, then lectures the Jedi Masters for longer then drains the hell out of them. The feat is the same, but with more self-righteousness.
Nah. The only Restored Content versions I know of have Kreia doing the same thing (except with a Drain Force animation instead of Drain Life), or one where she dominates them over and over with TK (and speaks to each individually) before letting them down to Drain them.
