Lame counter argument tbh.
Same Bariss easily break his force shield with a force push before, and who is Bariss ? She is inferior to most combatant in PT, she doesn't have any decent TK feats.
None of them is Bariss here, I doubt Bariss has better TK than even Cin or Vos. Anakin is at the same level with the likes of Obi-Wan, Asajj and Savage in usage of force. He was not that good until the suit.
RotS and LoE imply that Anakin was a head and shoulders above the rest of his era in terms of power, sans Yoda and Sidious. Per canon, he's vastly more powerful than when he fought Bariss, after all.
Hell, the RotS novel implies that Vader's rage fit at the end of the movie might have been able to destroy Sidious, were he still whole.
I think out of anyone in the PT, RotS Anakin is among the most underrated TBH.

Potential =/= current power.
Dooku was the one of the best in usage of force, but his potential was inferior to Asajj. Same with Anakin, he was not that good until he get a trauma (mustafar) and start to use the force more efficient. Otherwise he was just as good as Obi-Wan, who has more experience than his.
Savage needed to get force lightning torture to use the force better, or Maul become better with the force after his injury.
Anakin would become better than anyone, but that requires time just like Dooku had, otherwise you need a trauma, sith training or dark jedi training to gain it earlier than it should be.

When crises demanded it, she and her faithful Padawan learner, Barriss Offee, would rush into the thick of conflict, where their incredible talents with the lightsaber blade served them well.

WTF?

Didn't you read the Yoda : DR, he said there Ventress's potential would exceed his.
I don't remember that. What's the exact line?
But if she did wouldn't really make sense for Sidious to order her death. He'd keep her as Dooku's replacement if things didn't work out with Anakin.
