On a more serious note, there are quite a few Jedi around the HoT's level, and while defeating a weakened Vitiate is a feat, it has nothing to suggest that it was because the HoT overpowered him in the Force, far from it.

Not because Revan was near Vitiate's level. He got a chance to hurt him cause the Emperor underestimated him/didnt see him as a threat at first.

Perhaps you have a different definition of underestimate than I do, but when someone says dozen of times that they will kill you and that you can't defeat them and then they don't and you do, that's an underestimation.
Thats just typical Sith arrogance. Regardless, Vitiate was not going easy on or taking lightly the HoT, his most hated enemy.
Beings like Vitiate will underestimate anyone. With HoT it wasn't anything unusual but when he fought Revan, he literally treated him like a random jedi where he fought HoT properly from the beginning. HoT's placement is questionable because we don't know how much the Emperor was weakened and I obviously don't put him above Vitiate so I don't see how I am making statements with double standards here.

Uh source? He knows who Revan is and his relative power level, and since this is said nowhere in the novel, I'm guessing you just made this up.
He sends weak ass lightning bolts to him and assumes that he can deal with him without a fight as he tries to dominate Revan's mind.
Since he can normally defeat him in seconds, its not an assumption to say he didnt give his best at first in fact it was the opposite.

But he did for Revan, who he is definitely trying to kill until Scourge's betrayal, because you know, why not? That usual sith arrogance is called underestimation, by the way.
Definitely trying to kill? Doubt it, just tried to dominate him or smack him around until he got actually mad. And no, the usual Sith arrogance is about overestimating themselves. There's absolutely nothing indicating that the Hero only managed to hurt him because he took it easy against them. The quest text even says he intends to destroy you because he can sense your power is too great to contain. The Hero won through her own immense power, as Vitiate said.
