Is Cyclops worth it as a pretender god?

[Taqwus]

Heh. Then there's Vision's Foe... I wonder whether this is an artifact, or very powerful item, or whatnot. In the right hands (Firbolg, with Eye of Aiming, Boots of Speed...) sounds like a Cyclop's nightmare.

The Eye Shield requires that the Cyclops hit the shield carrier. The arbalest only needs to get in range. Get him an air-shield item, I guess, in addition to the regeneration, and avoid those lizard shamans or anybody else with Curse/Doom.
