And the thing about Siths, they Know just how to use the power of Emotion in battle.

The cornerstone of a Sith's power was emotion. While the Jedi taught that fear, anger, pain  and  hatred  were negative emotions to be overcome, the Sith believed that these strong emotions were natural, and aided individuals in their survival. By harnessing their emotions rather than suppressing them, the Sith believed they could achieve true power.

And since, Saber's belief that fear, and hatred weakens her, is similar to that of how the Jedi view them, it is no surprise that she cannot comprehand how Vader and be so powerful drawing strenght from such emotions.

While Sith's are also Empowered by Emotions and Passion, just like I'm sure many of the Servants of the grail wars are, their philosophy is much different, namely to Saber's: " What fuels your power with the Force but your passion? The stronger, darker emotions. Anger, hatred, fear… these passions empower us"

This belief was also in stark contrast to that of the Jedi's, who strived to place themselves beyond such base emotions, something very similar to what Saber also tries to do. Sith see passion as the only real way to fully understand the Force. However, the Sith believed strongly that the worthy could control their emotions and use them, while the weak were ruled by them.

Now while this does not automatically make the Sith superior to the Jedi, it does, give them something to help overcome them, and their methods of battle.

morality is treated as an obstacle to be overcome, as it gets in the way of a one's ability to recognize and seize opportunities for advancement and self-empowerment.
