True, Jim. In fact, I'm not saying that Death bless is unuseful.
I just think Fire's and Water's high blesses' first (+att, +def) and second effect (flaming weapons, quickness) seem to stack better than Death's ones the
most of the times. Of course SCs are a notable exception - while you don't see usually lots of SCs in the first turns, where the high blessed sacreds mostly shine, as you know
