A couple of death 2-3 mages have a good chance of killing her with raise skeletons as she doesn't have 0 encumbrance.

Slapping on a quick reinvigorator is enough to cure that problem, or Summon Earthpower, or any other light-reinvigoration options: The chassis, while not 0 encumberace, is fairly low-enc and has manageable fatigue with a few inexpensive items.

She also is vulnerable to windride.

Nothing a Robe of Etherealness or Wraith Crown can't fix. They're available earlier than Wind Ride is.

Her mistform will be defeated with only a few points of damage as well due to her low base hitpoints.

True, if you have something there that can hit hard enough to punch through mistform, but it's not like the VQ doesn't have the same problem.

My point isn't that the Virtue is one of the top-of-the-line SCs, but that despite her seemingly low stats, she can pull the job off adequately early game where it counts....and you can't argue with Wrathful Sky's effectiveness as a damage shield!
