He grows in power and refines his Force abilities for a further ten years (over three times his then 3 years of learning), gains the orbalisk armour which substantially enhances his Force powers, grows in understanding of the dark side and soon gains access to all of Sadow's knowledge. Clearly, the improvement was exponential.
Also, what kind of other techniques that Revan knew, did Bane unleashed in ROT?
I don't really see what point you're trying to make here.
This is a bad assumption.
It wasn't an assumption. The assumption would be the claim that Revan was himself just as hesitant. Pointing out how he wasn't necessarily any less hesitant is something we can simply conclusively say using logic and common sense.
Revan learned such deadly techniques for a reason. Now if he would be hesitant to use them, than why would he waste time to learn them in the first place?
It's highly probable that you wouldn't be in a position to know how deadly they are in application until you learn the inner workings of them, in which case Revan would have been blissfully ignorant of that as he went out of his way to learn them in the first place. It's also probable that he wanted to amass as much knowledge as he could for the future of his Order. You could extend the same exact question to Bane, you realise, considering how he himself went out of his way to learn them in the first place just as Revan had.
Also, Revan is "he" and nor "she." Seems to me that you defy canon more often than expected.
LOL. Relevance?
Dude! "Force Lightning" at ridiculous levels take the form of "Force Lightning Storm" and does lots of damage.
Define what you mean by "ridiculous" levels. Force storm lightning is simply area effect lightning, there are degrees of magnitude, and Bane displayed the ability to perform them with an unprecedented scale while still an initiate and not an hour after learning how to summon the base technique itself (lightning).
Revan mastered this technique
All we know is that he was said to have been capable of destroying a few parties of the Non Force Sensitive Ratakans with his application of the technique. Nowhere is it said he was a Master.
and his Lightning will also do serious damage.
To who? Someone like Bane? Bane was capable of absorbing a planetary level of Force lightning, storing it and keeping his internal organs protected from it, and spreading it across an entire world, and he's grown considerably since.
You are once again making a stupid assumption that Revan might not be able to use Force Lightning very well.
No he's not. He's saying "for all we know."
Do not forget that it was he who taught Bane how to make Force Lightning more potent.
No it wasn't. Bane was capable of such brilliance, with an unprecedented scale, with the simple working knowledge of the base technique itself (the mentioned Force lightning).
This shows that you can't grasp the bigger picture of the scenario or you don't want to.
LOL. The "bigger picture" has no relevance on this discussion.
Revan' knowledge actually paved the way for the Sith to rise once again. Hence, you should accept this fact and move on.
LOL. That actually made me ROFL (seriously, the rolling on the floor and everything).
In other-words, only a Sith Lord with great potential and strong affinity with the Force would be able to do what Revan could do and become very powerful like him.
Bane's midi-chlorian count is arguably second only to Anakin, his orbalisk aided Force strength is quite possibly the greatest ever, and his affinity with the Force is used as a measuring stick for Darth fricking Zannah, who could instakill Jedi, protect herself and her surroundings from something that was tearing through an entire planet, and implant her own power into others, all as an untrained 8 year old girl. What exactly is your point? Bane hes been proven to reach a level of power and ability that Revan can't be said to even approach, and that required absolutely astronomical potential and affinity with the Force.
Revan was so wise, smart and powerful that he was capable of re-shaping the future of the galaxy.
Partially, yes. Bane was far more influential and did far more for the future of the Sith than Revan could ever dream of, though again, relevance? This is a combat scenario you realise?
