Default Re: Super-Combatants

I do not think so. Firstly, ring of regen+pendant of luck is WAAY cheaper than fobidden light. Secondly, while some units are virtually scs in their own right (abominations? vastnesses? Doom Horrors?) most need some items, and sevral of these items are usually the same. Granted, this is a thread about off the wall and original SCs, so this post is a bit misplaced, but in general, a supercombatant is not supposed to go toe-to-toe with armies of niefel giants. The goal is a unit that will beat most mudane/minor summon armies. In this case, wished nataraja with unquenched sword/invulnerability/sun slayer/forbidden light is not cost effective. 10-12 decently equipped banes is simply better. What if you get zapped? (stupid Anemonies...) Where are you then. Better 2/10 units die than your single uber killy machine.
