Summoned Units - Opinions

Far as the units go, lamias are pretty good when you have a high nature skill and nature income.

if you have a nature 10 naga (possibly with boosters) you get a huge number of lamias per cast and a good bless to boot (for pan its quite good)

living statues can also be plentiful, and they make a good "meat" shield

Points to Ironhawks list but replaces 4 with tarrasques and tries to figure out where to add tartarians

Ironhawk, aside from Gaap and the astral AD, I can't figure out how the other devils are SC's ... can you make tell me a good strat in using them?

Give any arch devil regen, quickness, and decent prot via items. Probably +mr and reinvig as well. Script fireshield and attack (anything else?). They have great stats, high hp, fire immunity.

Edit: the above is with cb mods in mind...otherwise definitely want lifedrain.

For summons I agree with thejeff, it all depends on what gems you have. Summer lions I sometimes summon since its them or firesnakes, but I don't know that I'd pick fall bears over statues, mech. men, or heck maybe even crushers.

dragon scale armour (i love it), horror helm, boots of quickness, pendant of luck, ring of regen and maybe a wraith/hellsword (preferably hell unless vrs uber armour)

besides fire shield also it's good to cast the spell which respawns him upon death... forgot the fire spell name(phoenix pyre?).
