MA Ermor is very strong, probably stronger than LA Ermor now. If they had Soul Gate, i'd love them to ...um, death.
What hurts MA Ermor is finding some mage time for research.
EA Ctis is very much like MA Ermor, with just a couple more negatives and several more positives. I like MA Ctis
in theory, but i've not really played them in multi in all honesty. I just like free Disease dominions
