I'm gonna hafta ta go wit Plagueis and Sidious.
Originally posted by Q99I like this one, some crazy sorcerers here.
Vitiate and Exal Kressh (mostly on Vitiate, of course, but still quite powerful)
However, arcane power doesn't translate to the ability to win battles as well as strength in the Force and a good ole prescient affinity with the lightsaber.
Gethzerion could drop an army of Stormstroopers with a snap of the finger and I doubt she'd take out Mark Hammil from Episode 7.
This is why I maintain that Plagueis + Sidious > any other master and apprentice combo, even if they are somewhat out of their depth in the arcane arts their power levels are comparable.

Exal, unlike her master, uses the saber. So in a fight, she'd guard while he casts... and his force powers *are* crazy powerful and capable of dropping high-level Jedi/sith.
A sorcerer + bladeuser is arguably a better combo than two of the same type.
Anyone who had Plagueis for a mentor and a teacher would have a powerful teacher. Arguably, the same for Bane as he went out of his way to give Zannah all the tools he had to teach her about the ways of the Sith. Plagueis even would bond with his student which goes well beyond standard fare for the Sith
