[Fantomen]

The Golem crafters are great battlemages. You need to develop them a bit, but then you have great potential. The water component is wonderful because it gives you access to the acid evocations, especially acid rain, which is perfect combined with statues. And also blade wind and magma eruption and some fire and water evos with some boosting. With breath of winter and fire resistance/fire shield they handily ignore heat and cold dominions, throw a minor earth bless and earth power on top and you've got serious endurance in any weather. If there is a minor bless they also make potent minithugs. Cheap and sacred makes them exellent researchers.

I find them absolutely wonderful.
