Affecting the mind of a non-Force sensitive thug is a far cry from replicating the same feat against a trained Force adept. The Codex expressly states that any impressive powers derives from all Masters working in unison. That's a tremendous vulnerability.
I'll say.
This is total speculation, actually.
They were captured by a lone Jedi and a Republic special forces squad under unknown circumstances, but the fact that they were captured and detained for so long implies limitations to their power, which is commensurate with what is known from their Codex entries. Their real gifts manifest only when harnessing the power of the Phobis device and in unison.
They've shown nothing here that would suggest or even guarantee victory over the adepts.
The Elite definitely aren't impressive, in my book. But as of yet I'm not seeing any clear advantage one group has over the other in combat prowess.
Even if they aren't nearly as individually badass as some other sith, I think combining reasonable levels of skill + their fear powers is enough for a win. Maybe take a few losses to the stronger Elite, but that's it.
Hm, maybe the 7 Dark Jedi (Jerec's Group) would be a better fight than the Dark Side elite.
Styrak alone seemed very very powerful, he was even a flashpoint boss. During the fight he grew to something like 50 feet tall and went maniac against the republic strike team.
Yeah, they've been the subject of some updates. One thing I found was this: "On Belsavis, the Dread Masters were imprisoned in the main levels of the facility in separate cells, but all other prisoners within a quarter mile of them died almost immediately after the Sith arrived."
They can use their fear power individually as Styrak was able to dominate and craze an army of mercenaries by himself. Then you get to fight and kill him and he displays some crazy powers in his fight.
The latest update has you fight them all. IDK much about it but even just from the video in the other thread they come off as hugely powerful.
Yeah, operations are between 8 to 16 people strong. Of course, its not actually that many since theres not that many classes, so I guess either one of the faction classes took them out or the Republic and Empire joined together for an 8 man takedown.
