Nah, that's what makes the feat so impressive. Valk did it in such a way that it circumvented the limitations of physical distance and occurred instantaneously, in synchronicity with Ziost.

Careful now this argument might be used unironically Tenebrae/Vitiate/Valkorion VS. Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious - Page 5 1076326320

How can it be just a filter over the cinematic when I provided in-game screenshots of the sun both pre and post cataclysm, along with a video set long after the event? Are you all that insanely brain dead?

However I could easily see how one would argue that the change was merely artistic and the writers payed no mind to the implications of what they depicted.

For whatever it's worth, some moron went to Twitter and waterboarded SWTOR writer Hall Hood with this very notion a few years back, only for Hood to respond with "it's probably just a stylized filter on the cinematic."
When you bypass the primary material and directly badger the author and even they tell you that your argument is wrong, it's probably a good time to give it up.

But I guess some creatures are more persistent than others. Tenebrae/Vitiate/Valkorion VS. Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious - Page 5 2960029119

@ILS: Referring to other members as "creatures" is against the rules. Please refrain from this behavior in the future.

And, on a more general note to many members on this thread, targeted harassment and mockery is not allowed.

Until someone can answer why this utter non-starter filter argument is even plausible, I'm taking this as a direct concession from Gideon, ILS and all others involved.

Just for emphasis, this is before Tenebrae's death wave:

This is after:

Here is a video depicting that upon return to Ziost, the sun is the same color it'd been after the cataclysm:


This is a chart depicting just how much power output the sun lost:

Probably makes Ziost the best feat in the mythos. Thoughts?
As we can see from the original post, it is literally not limited to a cinematic and thus cannot merely be a filter. Hall Hood admitted he didn't know. Concessions accepted  en masse.

Anyone got a better argument?

A direct feats comparison between these two is difficult but I'd wager Valk is around TFU Sids.

Based on what? The Ziost feat is well beyond anything Sheev does until DE.

Valkorion gets:

  • Orbalisk armor
  • Malachor amp
  • Exar Kun's amulet
  • Ragnos's sceptor
  • Battle meditation from Kaan
  • 1 hour sorcery/ritual prep


And enough time to acclimate to his new gear.

Can he defeat DE Sidious?

Obviously Valkorion already wins without all of that.

Also, I'm pretty sure this thread needs merging.

Still not seen a single argument for why Sheev wins any contest here. Ziost is honestly better than Force Storms. His handling of the Outlander, Vaylin and Arcann at such a severe disadvantage is also better than Sheev's best combat feats.
