Nature is great on raiders for Elemental Fortitude alone, as it allows you to get full elemental resistance with the minimal amount of equipment. ie. Just a Brand or Scutata Shield. That can make defending agaist them far more difficult, as you often have to do a lot more than just "throw a mage in amongst your PD".

they can't use the scutata, but they have inherent ability to cast resist lightning.

It does let them counter-counter :)

barkskin also helps them a lot against masses of pd, which might overwhelm a vanjarl.

Mmmmmmwhell, perhaps sidhe lords are better raiders indeed - too bad vanheim in general is so much more powerful than Eriu. :)

Ah yes, I forgot the current discussion was about specific Thugs, and not just Nature pathed Thugs in general.

Resist Lightning does of course solve the need for Scutata's :)

(Mounted units can not use Tower Shields for those wondering why Scutata's, which is a tower shield, can not be used by the mounted Thugs under discussion)

The inherent N of the Sidhes also improve the 5% regen they get from N4 bless.

Technically true, but I don't remember it being enough to bump it from 1/turn to 2/turn.

Edit: Deleted a load of rubbish my brain came up with.

Move along please :)
