The fight takes place on Lehon, outside the Rakatan temple.
Malgus as he is at the end of TOR, at his peak.
Stealth Moose
Haven't finished PoD.
Nephthys
Don't you know enough about Bane just from threads?
Stealth Moose
Not really. I'd prefer to make a judgment having reviewed source material instead if interpretation of material via forum.
But this fight does intrigue me enough to follow.

Good idea Stealth. When PoD first came out people were arguing that he was one of the most powerful Force Users of all time (making peoples top 5 lists) and certainly one of the most powerful Sith (people typically had maybe NJO Luke, DE Sidious and Nihilus above him, with people like Exar Kun on the same level). Since RoT and DoE came out however people seem to have collated all 3 books into one story, and seem to be under the illusion that his learning curve from PoD to RoT was much smaller than it actually was. He was already a beast by the end of PoD, and aside from the orbalisks, and the rain dance feat the improvements from PoD to DoE really weren't that big.
Nephthys
Well Malgus is also a beast. His lightning owned a Jedi (who has just collapsed two buildings on Malgus with TK) and blew holes through his chest, while injured. His TK has killed Jedi with pushes, shattered large statues and pillars and he blew the rubble from two buildings off of him after holding it up. He smacked the Strike Team in TOR around with the Force and that team was either made up of the Imperial or Republic TOR characters. At the end of Deceived Malgus achieves a state of oneness with the Dark Side, vastly increasing his power.

Malgus takes him in a good fight.

That's a bit above PoD Bane's pay-grade.
Nephthys
His performance against the Strike Team was so good that I really think he might be better than I give him credit for. I don't know where to place him.

Malgus, DoE Bane would likely be a better match for him.

Or maybe because the strike team ain't hot shit.

This would ignore that regardless of which side it is - Republic or Imperial - they are pretty much the 1337 of all 1337 Force users and duelists in the galaxy.
Based
In which the two force users got forced choked several times and even simultaneously. That hasn't happened in any other fight in this mythos.
Stealth Moose
Care to take that observation anywhere bankable?
Based
It shows the lack of force defense the two force users have if they are stunned the same amount of time as the two non force users. It's almost Obi-Wan-esque.
They're glass cannons.
Stealth Moose
Lol.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Based
Bro, do you even TOR? Or nah?
Petrus
Bro, do you even HoT>Vitiate? Do you even Barsen'thorForceFeats? Nothing about them is Obi-Wanesque.
Malgus takes this btw.

Malgus at the start of "Deceived" was roughly Even/Steven with PoD Bane.
By the end of TOR he had surpassed him by a considerable margin.
Malgus takes this.
Lord Stark
Malgus imo is second only to Vitiate in his era. And even that he's not that far below him considering he can give either the Imperial or the Republic Heroes pause.
In short, Bane is toast.
