Summons to build a strategy around....

Arguably the best assasination spell? Can you argue with my annointed of rhuax being killed by over 400 vengeful spirits(damn vengance of the dead - killing maenads with falling fires wasnt such a good idea) .

I said arguably, and we're arguing!

Seriously, Vengeance of the Dead is great, but it has two limitations. First, you need to punch through the target commander's MR. Second, it's only a real killer against commanders who have killed a lot of people.

(And using VotD against a combat mage is brutal, by the way. Using it against a "strategic artillery" mage who kills over long distances with Flames from Afar, Murdering Winter, and other army-blaster spells ... even better!)

Meanwhile, that gigantic Earth Elemental can kill almost anyone. He isn't stopped by MR. He doesn't care about how many people you've killed. And your bodyguards will probably just get trampled....

"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."

The only targets that are too tough for Earth Attack tend to be SCs or some pretenders. Sacred Statues, for example. That's when Infernal Disease becomes my favorite assassination spell.
