No she wasn't. It was never made apparent that she was significantly impacted and her greatest feats took place on a vastly greater nexus. And she had days to recover from Nathema, which is never indicated to have lingering effects and its never mentioned that she was weakened by it.

In that fight he made a single negligible contribution.
Is that why, three centuries later-which Charles Boyd, Creative Director, has stated gradually reduces the effects of the Void-was consuming every living thing when the Sanitarium was broken by Vaylin's unstable power. Meaning Meetra Surik had to survive in a far worse state off of sheer willpower or be consumed as well.
Just because Meetra says she'll 'be okay' doesn't mean it didn't effect her. 😂
The Void of Nathema was a far worse effect than anything Malachor V ever put her through and that had a serious long term damage on both her psyche and connection to the Force.
Malachor V being far more powerful than Dromund Kaas is stated nowhere, given Vitiate's rituals and the sheer number of sites strong in the Dark Side. Not only that, but Dromund Kaas, almost four millennia of weakening later-was corrupting Kyle Katarn to the Dark Side of the Force, blinded Mara Jade's Connection to the Force, did the same to Ben Skywalker, caused Jaina Solo's reflexes to drop sharply and did the same to Prime Luke f*cking Skywalker.
Imagine what a fully active Dromund Kaas would do to Revan and the Exile.
Your argument is just an attempt to claim Surik ~ Scourge, which is just laughable.

I swear I must've debunked the Revan Kaas nexus wank a hundred times now.
Except y'know Revan states outright that the Dark Side clouds his vision, Meetra tries to meditate and can't, Scourge at the start of the novel remarks on hiw he could draw on the power radiating from the Dark Citadel from the borders of Kaas City. Not to mention the entire planet is consumed by dark side miasma, miasma such as that seen in places such as the Tomb of Ludo Kressh and the Tomb of Freedon Nadd.
Kaas is very clearly a Dark Side Nexus and is confirmed as such, you can't debunk facts.

She shat on Meetra and Scourge at the same time in spite of standing in between them with only 1 lightsaber.
She forced them to dive out of the way of her Force Lightning and Force Leap'd inbetween them to catch them both off-guard. The only one who admits inferiority is Scourge, because the duel is from his perspective.
Meetra caught and absorbed the worst of Darth Nyriss' lightning with an instinctive Force Barrier. Force Barrier is stated to not be an effective means of defending against Force Lightning and even the most powerful Jedi Masters struggle to absorb Force Lightning with Tutaminis, the technique actually designed for absorbing such attacks. For a hindered Meetra to do the same with an unprepared, instinctive barrier against Lightning of that power, is an exceptional feat.
I feel like this gets overlooked all the time.

I specifically meant the comparison to how it affected people 4,000 years later. Revan and Meetra were negligibly affected compared to Kyle, Mara, Jaina, Ben, and even Luke and Yoda. Authors clearly had different ideas there.
Source for them being negligibly affected? Revan literally shivers because of the power of the Dark Citadel and what lay within, the same Revan who fought an army on the Star Forge.
Meetra shivers from the meer miasma surrounding Dromund Kaas and can't muster the ability to perform a mere meditation trance. Given one of her primary meditative aspects is to maximise her reflexes in combat, you can see why this is more indicative of her difficulties for me than it would be for you.
Karpyshyn states himself that he purposefully leaves this stuff up to interpretation, so using the 'it's not definitively stated' shtick isn't going to fly.
The fact of the matter is that a Nexus of the Dark Side of the Force diminishes over time when abandoned and this is proven with Korriban. Dromund Kaas with a living embodiment of the Dark Side and potentially millions of Sith living on it for a millennium is undoubtedly going to be more potent.
This isn't Canon Malachor vs Malachor V, this is the same planet and it has a continuous flowing history in the same lore. So please stop with this 'authorial intent' excuse for dismissing the power of Dromund Kaas.
I know why you're arguing against it, but Vitiate clearly isn't reliant on any source of power when he is one.
