Is Maul the weakest Sith Lord in terms of force abilities?

When you consider that Maul can't even use Force lightning, which even a novice like Sirak knew Maul looks rather bland in terms of force abilities. Of all of the major Sith Lords in Legends/Canon, is Maul the poorest in terms of diversity of force techniques and weakest in terms of usage? If you take away his Lightsaber and pit him against the likes of Malak, would he end up being choked of and begging for mercy like a girl when he lost to Sidious? Why didn't Maul spend more time learning force techniques, and less time being a thug with a Lightsaber?

Because he couldn't use the Force as a substitute for Sidious' dick, like he could with a double bladed lightsaber hilt.

yup, Maul is weak sauce when it comes to Force usage

He isn't weak, he is powerful, and there are tons of Sith that are inferior to him in power. His versatility is very low for his power level, though.

What Bart said, and also the information in Darth Plaguies concerning his training.

Because he was trained as an assassin/warrior, he had no need for such abilities. He makes up for this in his physicals, martial arts and bladework.

So he is just a highly trained thug with a Lightsaber, thanks for verifying that

Beating half trained force sensitives? Oh my how impressive?!

Then by that definition Anakin skywalker is a bigger thug as he can't utilize any force ability other than TK and isn't as refined in saber combat

One better, all Jedi are just thugs cause they really don't use any cool offensive Force abilities and mainly use TK.

Hmm... I wouldn't say that. Considering he is reptedly beaten by padawans "highly trained" is a bit of a stretch.

Only 1 Padawan ever beat Maul one on one.

Same as with Vader tbh.

He's one of the Deadliest Sith Lords ever as confirmed in both Canon and Legends. So stop trolling.

In SWTOR:-

Sith Inquisitor class has access to Force lightning and esoteric powers in general.

Sith Warrior class is about martial aspects of combat and raw power.

IMO, Force lightning should have been a HIGH-END Force power; only the greatest Sith should have been capable of using it. However, George Lucas (being an idiot he is), cheapened it in Episode II and it became mainstream from there.

How did he cheapen it in episode 2?

I suppose because Tyranus used it. LMAO
