Not saying vampires are a be all end all, but they certainly do have their uses.

Is this in response to my point being that markatas suck or did reading comp not work here? 15 mr isn't bad but it isn't good.

Any units with mediocre protection ...? Vine Ogres, Devils, Bane Lords or all those summons everyone else uses ...
My point was that you can make /any/ units useful in /some/ situations with the buffs and battle magic you mentioned. Just because I Fog WArrior/Will of Fates/Army of Lead/strength of giants/weapons of sharp etc etc my entire army of militias means I'm going to start buiding militias now.
