I'm just curious - but why do people ever go for N9 blessing? Maybe I just haven't figured out the right way to deal with this, or maybe I'm just giving it too much importance, but every time I've played with N4+ blessing - the berserker trait screws me over. Any sacred caster (including most importantly your Prophet, but this also happens a lot with both TienChi S&A and Pythium casters- two of my favorite nations) will get the berserk trait whenever they're blessed (and this is a permanent condition for the prophet). And believe me, if you're focused on mage power, the Last thing you want is you want is for your favorite Arch Theurg, or Celestial Master go running straight into the horde of enemy hydras just cause he got nicked with a sling bullet!

I play N9 alot with jotunheim niefel theme. The combination of high hp and N9 regen on Jarls or giants really helps stop afflictions. Plus its usually not a bad thing when niefel giants or Jarls go beserk as they are extremely potent in small Groups, I've had my army run away but my 4 berserking niefel giants win the province more times than i can count. Plus with the Jarls they wont go berserk until they are blessed, and they can bless themselves AFTER casting quickness and get a breath of winter in on the same turn, about that time it doesnt matter if they berserk because i tell them to attack anyway.
