Default Re: Caelum pretender design

Another thing on human pretenders: Are they any good for Caelum? Nice scales require a high dominion to pay off. Thats my specific thing, ok, but in addition Caelum's economy depends on cold weather, which also demands a high dominion! So there is a combined benefit from high dominion which makes me think that dom-strength 7 is an absolute minimum for Caelum! I dont think that HeartOfWinter is worth it, but maybe that is different with a lower dominion strength, is it?

So human pretenders or the ArchSeraph are simply to expensive to get that dominion strength in my opinion, since even an increased path cost rarely outweighs the cost for boosting the dominion. This is why I dont use the VQ anymore (and I did not use her much in combat either).

So what is the cheapest chassis if you desire Death, Blood, Earth and a high dominion like 8? Which chassis leaves most points for scales & castle? I think the GhostKing and the Fountain of Blood are the only choices there...
