How Powerful is Nihilus?

All I know is that this guy can drain like nobody's buisiness, but does he have any other talents? In TK (no amps), saber ability? Lightning feats?

How does he compare to

HoT--better
Barsen'Thor--better
Nomi Sunrider--dunno, probably better
Satele Shan--better

Nihilus' TK is godly. Even at his weakest he held an entire starfleet together. Saber ability is at least on par with the Exile who's a master of most saber forms in her own right. Probably greater, actually, even when weakened.

If you calculate Nihilus's energy needed to rip the ravager from Orbi and keep it maintained it's only a bit higher than the energy Galen used to move the Star destroyer that was falling in all honesty. In Raw power he's approaching levels of some ancient Sith.

He's really powerful, but only carries his saber around as an ornament.

Vitiate's canonically superior to him, though. He's probably more powerful than anybody else the OP listed but immeasurably worse in sabers.

Nihilus was - excluding Revan, Vitiate and his Empire - the most powerful guy of his Era. He knew the techniques against which there were no defence - according to Kreia. Like Force push!
