I disagree, for the reasons listed above. Death bless is much worse for dealing damage, that's true. Death Weapons is weaker than Flaming Weapons, that's true. Death Weapons works very well with the minor Death bless. They have different uses.

I don't see how you're still disagreeing when you're proving my points for me. The game is largely determined by early and mid anyway when it's coming down to effectiveness of most level 9 blesses. As people mentioned, not only will the mr not work most of the time, your units not gain the attack bonus that f9 provides. Lastly, your extra bless does little to nothing compared to indies, as jeff mentioned, d9 on a pretender IS more useful than f9 on a pretender, but bless effects, death is weaker. As the saying goes, making someone lose isn't necessarily the same as helping you win. Sure you may get lucky and chop down a SC with enough afflictions to make it useless but f9 will help you in a lot more situations. Not to mention the bulk investment in a SC comes from their equip, not their chassis.
