awake SC, w/ a bless? that's unpossible.

perhaps you should put forth a build you are looking at.

going drain 2 is pretty harsh, but it can be done. not w/ machaka, I don't think, as it will desperately need research to cover for it's dying spiders.

Not to say that you absolutely can't use them. But i think any such build would be borderline at best.
