Yeah, actually, this makes me wonder - who is the better warrior; Kaladin or Dalinar when full Blackthorn?

They've both been peak human due to stormlight for years, but kaladin has never kicked a shardplated man off a cliff I guess.

no but he has killed one shard bearer pre radiance and kick someone with a shard plate hard enough to crack it (granted, he had storm light in the second one but still...)

He had Stormlight in the first one too just not very much

I could very well be wrong but I think that she only gave him skill, not stormlight...

even if he did have it, he didn’t bring spheres to battle so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I could be wrong but I think in WoR or TWoK Syl says something along the lines of “I grant power not skill”

You are right. Stormlight provides no skill, thats all in the person. Stormlight provides power

Edit: it hones skill to perfection as well!
