It effortlessly swallowed an entire fleet of New Republic capital ships and the Eclipse, and has been stated to be capable of "killing worlds" and having the power to "tear surfaces" off of planets. Ziost may have a larger effect radius (or at least apparent one - we don't know how a full potency force storm would look if dropped in an atmosphere), but it doesn't even effect buildings, let alone muster the firepower needed to oneshot an Eclipse super star destroyer, which would probably be more than needed to do a base delta zero anyway.

Nihilus' Hunger and Vitiate's Thought-bomb is more efficient.

Nihilus drain was compared to a republic fleet bombing the planet.

The only potentially planet busting feat is Sidious's Force storm which Luke believed would destroy the planet. Valk and Nihilus's feats are just surface wipers.
It was stated that in time Nihilus' drain will wipe life with mere presence and Vitiate acquired enough Dark Side energy throughout the Old Republic timeline to blast an entire galaxy. Think your statements before typing them with your keyboard, arrogant shmuck.

Given that Luke has never seen such performances before - of course he would believe that.

Yes Nihilus's drain is so powerful that he needed to bombard planets from orbit before draining them.
Also take a chill pill dude. I was only joking.

Even if he did. It was stated he devoured several planets' energies. One planet would already give him enough power to drain the other planets by himself alone.
I did not know you were joking because you seem to be fully in control of your mental capacities.

Because Luke was attributing the Force storms' capacity to Darth Sidious' Dark Side aura. Luke was astonished by the fact that he faced, for the first time, a living Dark Side nexus.
