Thuggity Thug [efficient thug builds]

[Ydirbut]

I normally just play singleplayer, so Im not very good at most MP tactics, like thugging, raiding, SCing, etc. However, I gave it a try as MA Ulm, thinking it would be a nice change of pace. I normally play with indys set to 9, so, they had a little bit of trouble, but they did good raiding the enemies lands. This is what I used
Black Servant(Summoned by pretender)
Firebrand
Charcoal Shield
Black Steel Full Plate (Should I go elemental armor instead?)
Black Steel Helmet
Boots of Giant Strength
Medallion of Vengeance
Girdle of Might
What changes should I make to this? What are some other effective Ulm Thug strats?

Black Servants have life drain right? I'd drop Firebrand and stick with the native life drain.

Luck Amulet instead of the Medallion. Horror Helm if you can.

Correct me if im wrong but black servants still have only 13 MR correct? Not a particularly good idea to invest alot in a low health, low mr undead unit.
