Bane demolished the Temple of the Ancients before his prime. That temple was absolutely gigantic and had survived turbolaser fire with barely a scratch. He's also disintegrated a dozen technobeasts with a thrust of his hand, smashed through a 30 meter tall metal gate and can turn people to ash with his lightning. Cognus also suggested Bane possessed more power than the dark energies that ravaged Ambria.
He did that on Lehon, a nexus so great that Korriban paled in comparison (specifically he was at the Temple, which made his head woozy), and Bane gathered energies whilst Kas'im spoke.
In the other one, he was on Tython, a "bastion of dark side power", and he was next to Belia Darzu's holocron which radiated dark side energies that attracted the technobeasts.
Not really above Nadd easily collapsing a tomb whilst being the source of Ommin and Amanoa's power.
Where does she imply that? Not that it matters, anyway. Nadd's death corrupted an entire planet (Onderon) and turned it into a nexus, and his Tomb's nexus spread to all of Dxun, which, when combined with the horrors of the Mandalorian Wars, turned it into the highest tier of Dark Side nexus (in terms of potency) as per JATM.
And Nadd performed his feats on nexuses as well.
Bane was still well before his prime on Lehon and the amps don't matter because its a feat thats ridiculously above any of Nadd's.
And Bane performed the feat with ease and went on to repeatedly disintegrate his opponents. Without a nexus, all he'd need to do is put in more effort or perform the feat on a slightly lesser scale and still be capable of doing it.
Uh, yeah it is.
In DoE. The Huntress had sensed the devestation of Ambria and yet when she sensed Bane "it was like nothing she'd ever felt" and she marvels at how anyone can wield the level of power Zannah does. So thats better than Nadd turning Onderon into a nexus.
Nadd's spirit needs a nexus to manifest in the first place, so he wouldn't be amped.
Considering the immensity of the nexuses in question, it's not that easily compensated for. Bane growing in power over the years probably only compensates for the Temple's nexus and the fact that he had to gather his strength over a period of time - it wouldn't compensate for Lehon's nexus, to be honest.
As for the disintegration, not only was it a double-nexus, but he had Orbalisks on, which enhance his power greatly. He never demonstrated similar power again, such as in DoE where he only pummels the internal bones/organs of people on a nexus, rather than disintegrating them (Technobeast's metal > human flesh as well).
No, it's not. Nadd did it easily, if not effortlessly, and I recommend reading the Ommin and Amanoa threads on the Internet by I_Like_Swords to show how much power Nadd donated to them whilst he performed the feat.
I doubt the Huntress would compare a person to a place, lol. Plus Ambria's power is beneath the surface and can only be unlocked by a Sorcerer/Sorceress like Zannah, hence why Bane admits he couldn't tap into it and that's also why the Huntress probably doesn't know the full extent of the power beneath Ambria.
Ambria's nexus doesn't compete with Dxun's, anyway. Or even Nadd's tomb, to be honest.
Doesn't that make his feats unquantifiable then? If we cannot tell how much is his own energies or how he's performing them.
Theres no such thing as a double nexus amp, thats silly. If he was amped at all, which isn't mentioned in the slightest, it's from a singular source. He's only drawing the Force from one source, afterall, not multiple locations. Regardless, you forgot to account for the feat being absolutely bonkers to compensate for other aspects of the feat.
Bane was drugged and weakened for the DoE feat you mentioned. If he wasn't he could have casually disintegrated them when lightning instead of needing to do a song and dance with less effective force powers. And again, Bane disintegrated them easily and multiple times. He was not so amped that he was twice as powerful or something, you're vastly overestimating his amps which apart from the orbalisks were never so much as hinted at.
I've read them. Where does it say Nadd was empowering Ommin?
She specifically sensed the sorceress who performed the ritual as she was performing it and subsequently being consumed by it. She can see the past, remember. And Ambria's power is beneath the surface because it was sealed away. After the point the Huntress sensed.
The power on Ambria was enough to devastate the planet, its far more than that on Onderon.

What also needs to be taken into account is the sheer volume of Force knowledge Nadd possesses, which was supposedly almost every single power in existence. Having that many powers is definitely a plus in terms of versatility and available options in a fight.
Which Bane possesses and more. But I said Nadd has a good chance with sorcery.
1. Who, Bane or Nadd?
2. It's actually not a "double-nexus", I just use that term for an "overlapping" nexus if you will, basically the strongest point of the nexus.
3. I'm aware, although it's a plot hole that the last dregs of those drugs remained in his system when in PoD he claims he can flush them out via Detoxify Poison. It was on a nexus, too, so all the more easy for him to eradicate the last remnants of those drugs.
4. Ommin and Amanoa lose their powers when Nadd stops empowering them/takes away his power.
5. Meh. It's not better than Dxun or his tomb, tbh.
6. Bane doesn't possess it all, lol.
Nadd.
Ok, the point stands.
Bane does flush them out of his system after his escape. But his abilities were clearly being effected by the drugs blunting his ability to use the force so thats probably why he had trouble doing it. The "nexus" is never stated to have any effect on him at all. And he only completely eradicates the drugs after he's away from the Prison.
I highly doubt all their power was from Nadd. Ommin's power at least was his own, as shown in that quote where he connects with it and gets crippled. I don't see anything about Nadd taking away his power either.
Yes it is.
He has his holocron and others as well. I doubt Nadd has any significant knowledge advantage over him.
1. He's not being amped, so it's all under his own power.
2. The point stands that Bane was tremendously amped.
3. It's strong with the dark side, hence any Dark Sider drawing upon the Force there would get more powerful.
I meant that he should flush the remains out. Why are there still some bits of the drugs left over in his system?
4. That's because Nadd took Ommin's essence or something as well. I'll check it again.
5. No, it's not. Dxun is an "extreme dark side site", which is the highest of the three tiers of DS nexus, as per JATM.
6. Show me a source which states that all of Nadd's knowledge was in his holocron. Otherwise, Bane would possess powers like Wall of Light, Storm (Wormhole), and the ability to become a Force Ghost upon death, which he doesn't. He also didn't learn Essence Transfer via that Holocron (he had to get Andeddu's), which is proof that Nadd didn't have all of his techniques in that Holocron, or if he did, Bane didn't learn everything from it.
Also, Bane's own admitted lack of aptitude for Sorcery means he doesn't have Nadd's Sorcery-related powers, nor his Alchemy
Bane's other holocrons are Belia Darzu's (which is teaching you how to make a Holocron, which I'm sure Nadd already knows) and Andeddu's (Essence Transfer, which Nadd also knows).
