[Fantomen]

I love the starspawn priests for linebacker communions, but I prefer different blessings.

One of the beauties of the starspawn priest linebacker is that you can give him a cheap bow (he keeps the mind blast) and reverse buff personal quickness for 4 ranged attacks per combat round, and one of the drawbacks of berserk is that once a unit goes berserk it stops using ranged weaponry.

They are plenty tough in melee anyways, and I prefer them sticking to ranged weapons before and after melee. So personally I look at minor blessings. N4, E4, F4 (to increase reliability of life drain) are all good candidates.

I don't think it's repel generally preventing the starspawns from hitting things, but their low attack score. So a minor fire bless and quickness buff makes a bigger difference than berserk.

Void summoners scripted returning always survives, so being able to win in melee against void creatures doesn't really change anything.
