I do not like going 9 earth when i play Pangaea though. That is spending a lot of point based around a capital only troop
and priests do not have divine bless.

And with the speed they have, many times they outrun the range of their level 2 priest for the bless. Without the bless, they are 9 protection. After they are at reduced hps, they go berserk and pick up their prot to 13, which is still sub par for a 70 gold calvary unit. Berserk is nice, they do not retreat, but the KOA rarely retreats either. And that added protection of berserk comes at a price to its defense.
