Not to simply overpower her, but to completely ragdoll her or to lethal effect is what I was saying.

Indeed. That she completely neglected her Force defence or would be easy to take out isn't really all that compatible with her reputation as a serial Sith killer, and really not very realistic (it's a shame as Drew seemed to get it right with Kas'im by having this Weapons Master be awesome with a lightsaber, not really use the Force offensively, but still be able to defend against it).
Which is why I maintain that:
"The rest can be attributed to hyperbole, inappropiate tone, and CrIS."
God forbid I suggest that perhaps the greatest lightsaber practitioner of her era's Jedi Order occupies the same tier as the big 5 of the beloved CW era... nevermind someone with the ability she demonstrates in ROT. Gotta love the self appointed guardians of the status quo at this forum an their brilliant rebuttals.

Anyways I'd like to think that unamped Raskta sits somewhere in the general tier that the likes of Yoda, Mace Windu, Dooku, Sidious and maybe ROTS Anakin all occupy when it comes to saber combat (and only a bit below Kas'im in ability). Kit Fisto is outclassed.

Yeah, they will. There is no evidence she can even put up a force shield, Farfalla had to do it or Bane's force wave would've killed her. While Fistos's won't "splatter" her against the wall like an amped Bane's, it can certainly send her flying and he can possibly ragdoll her.
You think the BM was that much of a boost? With it, she was coming across as a lot faster than Bane (who is possessive of perhaps the best speed feats we've ever seen in the mythos). I wouldn't assume that she's anything but top tier in speed while unamped, and skill wise I'd say she probably has them all beat.

Faster version but even by POD he was able to blitz Sirak who was extremely strong in the Force and stood out among master level Sith.
He was head and shoulders above everyone else (aside from Bane) in a group that was on the same level as the BOD's own masters, and was thought by many to be a candidate for the Sith'ari (and by extension is implied to have had maybe the greatest potential in the Order before Bane came along). Blitzing him, at a time when Bane was nowhere near as powerful as he was by the end of POD, let alone ROT, is an incredible speed feat.
