Ehh, as I said it was a single bolt of lightning, and her real lightning storm is stated to be capable of incinerating both Scourge and Meetra. And of course as mentioned before, it's capable of ashing herself as well. I personally don't see Dooku's lightning being potent enough to do that.

That's called a circular argument. The "lesser beings" are people Vitiate wanted alive and Revan himself, so that's also a bunk argument.It's irrelevant if it was a darkside nexus or if it was charged up, because Revan easily absorbed it despite those two things. All that matters is that the lightning Revan absorbed was significantly more powerful than the one Yoda did in AotC.
The Exile managed to blunt the attack with a barrier, but it still ripped through and pwned her.
That you're unable to grasp it doesn't make it a bunk argument. Fact is, Sidious' lightning is capable knocking Yoda unconscious when not successfully absorbed. It indicates how powerful his lightning is, considering that we've seen lesser powerful force users, who don't even know how to absorb the attack, being struck by it and not be KO'd. Vitiate's lightning has never instantly KO'd anyone on Yoda's caliber. Even some of Vitiate's opponents who didn't possess the ability to absorb lightning were able to take a protracted assault from him, and were only KO'd after a second charged attack, and none of them were on Yoda's level. We've seen Revan handle his lightning with his saber, and even when he attempted to block it with his hands, it still hit him and all it did was burn him. Whether or not he wanted them alive is irrelevant. He aimed to knock them unconscious, which took more effort from him than it did for Sidious to knock Yoda unconscious.
Sidious' lightning > Vitiate's.
So, Yoda can handle more powerful lightning than Nyriss'. The point I'm making with the dark side nexus, is that Dooku has never shown to utilize the attack on one, therefore you can't conclude her lightning is more powerful than his. Dooku has KO'd many force users while off a nexus, which is more impressive than merely knocking the exile on her ass while on one.

Honestly Sidious's best feat in this field is his lightning starting to bend Windu's Vaapadsaber.
Not really. Sidious wasn't even trying to kill Windu at that point. He was pretending to be weak in order to manipulate Anakin, and was likely not putting much power in his attack. The fact that Windu was still struggling with it is another indication of how powerful Palpatine's lightning is. Revan and HoT did better in handling Vitiate's lightning with their blades despite being on a dark side nexus.

Given the ease that he handled Nyriss lightning, Revan could certainly replicate Yoda's feat of barely repelling Sidious' lightning.
Considering Sidious' lightning is superior to Galen Marek who can blast an AT-AT and disable it? Nope. InB4 Neph claims its an exaggerated feat.
How could it not be by a large margin? Dooku's lightning doesn't even charr the flesh, let alone pack enough power to utterly disintegrate a being of Nyriss' power after ripping through a barrier.
Because we've never seen Dooku use lightning in a prolonged burst. But considering his short bursts are able to kill multiple force users...yeah I wouldn't doubt that if Dooku charged his lightning it'd be Nyriss level.
Nice opinion. Too bad it's wrong.
Its not an opinion. Force lightning is Sidious' most used ability, its ridiculous to assume his lightning would be inferior to an inferior being's lightning.

That was Vitiate's mental assault not his lightning.
