Is LA Bogarus decent enough to go blood?

[Kuritza]

I dont think its a good idea to start Bogarus without water on your pretender. Water path is needed for 1) boots of quickness 2) clam of pearls, and you have a national summon, Vodyanoi, who comes with W3N1. Quite a bargain.
And yep, Bogarus can bloodhunt quite efficiently. Much better than, say, Vanheim, slightly worse than Mictlan.

P.S.
Starets is a singular form, not plural.
