Darth Bane has his Orbalisk Armor but has force knowledge and power from DOE and the youth of his RO2 incarnation, Vitiate is from the Revan novel. Fight takes place on Dromuund Kaas. Who wins?
__________________ "Vader's pulse and breathing were machine-regulated, so they could not quicken; but something in his chest became more electric around his meetings with the Emperor; he could not say how. A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
The remaining five struck Bane almost simultaneously, their force pikes sending a million volts of current through his body. The orbalisks absorbed most of the charge, but enough filtered through to jolt him from his teeth down to his toes.
The Dark Lord staggered and fell to his knees. But instead of rushing in to finish him off, the assassins simply stood their ground. The idea that anything smaller than a bantha could withstand a direct hit from a force pike set to maximum charge - let alone five pikes at the same time - was inconceivable.
Vitiates lightning was dropping ships, oneshot Darth Marr, and was killing hundreds of Zakuul Knights
Bane gets stomped so badly DMB makes a Comicvine blog post about it

I'd have to reread the passage from RoT but he kills the Orbalisks with his own lightning when Worror erects the barrier around him. And Bane's lightning isn't on Vitiate's level.
Those pikes were stated in the book to be capable of taking out anything smaller than a bantha on max settings. Most Sith's force lightning can't do that and Bane ate 5 of them.
Now that everyone knows the difference between Vitiate's lightning and force pikes, does anyone think Bane under the circumstances given by the OP, can tank novel Vitiate's lightning?
You think most Sith Lightning, which most Sith can't even use, can't take down a Bantha? More importantly, you don't think Vitiate's Lightning isn't comparable to five randoms?
If you read the quote a max setting pike can kill a bantha instantly and he was hit by multiple of them. I'm not directly comparing them to Vitiate's lightning but just force lightning in general. How do you know the average Sith's force lightning is stronger then said force pikes?
Apparently Carthage who is the be all end all in regards to BT characters according to you guys thinks that experienced "trainees" can use force lightning so...

Vitiate's force lightning is among the greatest in the mythos, but that vast majority of force lightning doesn't even begin to compare to the lightning that killed Bane's orbalisks.
