Revan had sensed the Force in him; he had incredible potential. (Jedi Master Revan)
Emperor's Wrath I is a different ballgame then young Lord Scourge who met Jedi Master Revan. Emperor Vitiate performed experiments on Lord Scourge to transform him into an extremely powerful warrior, a warrior who was strong enough to serve as Emperor's personal executioner and not be susceptible to negative effects/decline that comes with aging.
There was only one Scourge, his life prolonged by Sith Alchemy, and his battle prowess enhanced by the Emperor. (TOR Encyclopedia)
Therefore, you cannot realistically claim that Emperor's Wrath I is far below Revan. Emperor's Wrath I is likely about Darth Nyriss and a good match for Revan, IMO. He is legitimately among the most powerful Sith to have ever existed.
Also, you think that Emperor Vitiate would use his personal executioner to target mooks?

You have no idea of how good Emperor's Wrath I is and yet you claim to be a supporter of Emperor's Wrath in debates. Most important thing for you is to have complete knowledge of whom you choose debate in favor for.

Tell me the kill count of Jedi Master Yoda (excluding shitty droids). Age is irrelevant, great power and combat prowess of Emperor's Wrath I is apparent from his phenomenal combat record. An ordinary individual cannot kill over a thousand Jedi and Sith and live to tell the tale, let alone, have such an impressive kill count.

Emperor's Wrath I survived in over a thousand battles against Jedi and Sith and slaughtered most of his enemies/targets in return. Is this not an indication of his extreme power and combat ability?
Age is irrelevant argument. An individual can be over a thousand years old and have 0 kill count or may not be able to take on a single Jedi.

Emperor's Wrath is one of the most demanding and risky roles in the Empire. Only Sith of great power can perform this role.

Sith went in to decline after the fall of the reconstituted ancient Sith Empire and end result was Brotherhood of Darkness. Then Darth Bane arrived, ended the Brotherhood of Darkness and created a new Sith Order which would make Sith strong again, this improvement continued till Darth Sidious. After this powerful Sith emerged on periodical basis.

You do realize that Emperor's Wrath I was not immune or omnipotent, right? His life was at stake in every battle in the same way as that of his opponents.
The fact that Emperor's Wrath managed to kill so many Sith and powerful Jedi is testament to his enormous power and extraordinary combat prowess.

HoT had subdued Lord Praven earlier, a Sith Lord who have history of defeating one of the greatest duelists of the Jedi Order in its history during the Sacking of Coruscant event.

How can you even debate in favor of a character without adequate knowledge of the character's ground realities and capabilities? You cannot and your attempts would be feeble.

Darth Sidious acknowledged Darth Malgus as one of his most powerful predecessors and also noted that the latter's battlefield feats have never been duplicated. I am sure that Darth Sidious would have known about Exar Kun as well.

As the Sith Emperor's personal executioner, the grimly fatalistic Lord Scourge has personally killed more than a hundred Jedi–and ten times as many Sith. Even the most powerful members of the Dark Council avoid offending the man bearing the title "the Emperor’s Wrath." (TOR codex entry)

There have only been two of them, both used because of the opportunity. You don't get to set standards, LeGenD. The most opportunistic, not the most powerful Sith, is used.
Let us consider the example of Emperor's Wrath II. Why do you think he killed Darth Baras? Because Darth Baras became too ambitious and a threat to Emperor's plans and existence. Darth Baras was responsible for trapping Emperor on Voss.

Um, no. While the Sith as a whole declined, tech, Force power(which has nothing to do with organization strength), and skill did not. The Sith as a whole undoubtedly improved under Bane's Rule of Two. The idea that the galaxy as a whole also became weaker for some reason is also ludicrous.
Brotherhood Sith had abandoned the philosophies of ancients that ensured production of quality Sith. They also stopped focusing on ancient sources of knowledge to hone their talents in the dark side. This is why Darth Bane began to despise them, when he started digging in to ancient secrets out of curiosity. In-fact, Darth Bane found just (Darth) Revan having greater knowledge of dark arts then the entire Brotherhood combined. Darth Bane began to hone his talents in the dark arts by studying Revan's holocron, that knowledge served him well when he confronted Kas'im and on other occasions.
Kas'im was the only individual who was legit in combat prowess in the entire Brotherhood. Other Sith were weaklings as apparent from how easily Darth Bane choked one of the most senior Lords of Brotherhood to death.
Darth Bane decided to eliminate entire Brotherhood and start fresh with proper emphasis on Sith ideals to make Sith stronger once again like they used to be in ancient times.

No it isn't. It's a testament to how long he lived. He had ample to reach the almighty kill count you keep attributing to him. If he had done that in a life time, sure, it'd be amazing. It wouldn't be a testament to his power, but it'd be amazing. In this situation, it is neither. Power comes from display, not number. Quality over quantity. Here, he has one, but not proof of the former.
Emperor's Wrath prolonged life is a product of corporeal immortality. This doesn't means that he is invincible or omnipotent, he would have very good defensive abilities by virtue of this condition but this is it.
Aging is irrelevant argument. Emperor's Wrath role involved lot of combat and he had to be extremely strong and capable warrior to defeat so many powerful Jedi and Sith in battles that were identified as threats to Emperor's plans and such. Otherwise, he would have fallen in a battle easily like he fell against Darth Nyriss back then when he was a mortal.

I suggest you don't tell me what to catch up on when you hardly know what you're talking about yourself. I've played through the HoT's story a few times now. S/he still has limitations, limitations that Malgus is able to exploit well after their first confrontation with the Emperor. The fact that you keep ignoring that and trying to hide behind a respect thread, which are made to show only the strengths of characters not their weaknesses, is proof enough that you can't get past the fact that Scourge is not on Malgus' level, when Malgus was able to contend with a more powerful version, plus three of the galaxies finest. well after the HoT stomped Scourge.
Prior to confrontation with Emperor's Wrath, HoT had defeated Lord Praven (a master swordsman) in single combat, in-fact, Lord Praven have history of defeating another master swordsman in single combat, he was so good. This point of yours ("And still lost to the HoT, who is by no means a god of the saber at this point in the story.") is moot.
I am not going to speculate about who is better among Emperor's Wrath and Darth Malgus, what I do understand is that Emperor's Wrath is one of the greatest warriors in the history of the Empire/mythos just like Darth Malgus.
As far as your logic is concerned, HoT handled Emperor with aid of only T7 droid, noted that Emperor was weakened at this point but he was still the most dangerous Lord to contend with. So Malgus > Emperor?
Originally posted by FreshestSlice
I'm sorry, what did this prove? Malgus acknowledges Exar Kun as a true Sith, and many Sith put him above Malgus, since we're using that instead of feats as proof of power.

And as the HoT has a natural power level well above just about anyone in SWTOR, saying that because they beat Praven, they must be on par with anyone in sabers is baseless.
Praven indicates the HoT beat him with both skill and power and marvels at both.
