How dare you diss black servants!! They are my litle ulmish babies, ulms forging abilities+various items and site searching from a rainbow mage= 3 or so stealthy, ethereal, 16-20 strength, life stealing, fear causing, great prot and/or defence thugs by turn 20 (in dom2, in 3 life stealing and, in the case of this build shield, are nerfed).

Hmm, I thought I've read somewhere that only lifestealing weapons were nerfed in Dom3, not native lifestealing ability. Is it not the case?


I've never tried mini-SC out of black servant. They seem to have to few hitpoints zero protection for me to risk giving them good items and to risk loosing these items if you lose the battle. Were they actually that effective?
