I suppose then are time would be better spent discussing just how large a Force storm Darth Sidious is capable of creating.
That said, I feel the destructive power of the Force storm, combined with Sidious' evidently planetary reach on Byss, is evidence enough he could unleash a wave of destructive energy on this scale over an entire planet.
B) I dismissed nothing, I openly admitted he could but that the lack of evidence made it impossible to claim that statement makes Sidious > Vitiate. The Force Storm is still a very powerful ability.
This doesn't means that Emperor Vitiate was not in danger:
Meetra was no expert on dark side sorcery, but it was safe to assume Vitiate not only survived the ritual, but emerged more powerful than ever.
Taken from Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan
Fair enough.
Using maths in these matters is silly.
Now, provide evidence of a matching feat from Darth Sidious.
Doesn't matters. Vitiate's tremendous power is amply demonstrated on Ziost.
It should be, but why Sidious commonly utilized a Lightsaber in his confrontations? Was he not confident in his dark side abilities?
Welcome.
Member Zenwolf provided information. Admittedly, it is very impressive showing from Sidious. However, Vitiate's demonstrations on Ziost are comparatively superior.
It's a demonstration of sorcery.

Sidious' lightsaber prowess is canonically just as great as his Force powers.

It's hardly silly to point out that you were trying to pass his feat off as literally ten times greater than it was.
Sidious operates in different ways than Vitiate, so he doesn't have a feat to match up perfectly... The closest example is probably his Battle Meditation, which is also arguably done on a galactic scale.
Indeed it was. He was able to recreate Nathema without the aid of other Sith, like Revan implied he could.
It was mentioned in Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader that Sidious never needed to utilize a lightsaber in his confrontations, but did so to mock the Jedi by beating them in their own games.
I think your case could be argued, indeed.
And I agree that Vitiate is unarguably the greatest Sorcerer in the mythos.
Anyways who would be the third strongest Sith? Most people already have 1 and 2 with Vitiate and Palpy in their respective slots.

Sorry for being so uninformed but can anyone give me a break down on what has been happening with Vitiate? Is his spirit form stronger then his phyiscal form or are we still having hype with Vitiate's physical form being stronger? Also did he absorb Ziost at a whim?

Yes I am aware of what happened on Ziost, but I wanna know if he did it with prep or not.
