What's your opinion on #domsummon?

[Wauthan]

I agree with your observation. It's an amusing ability. After I went through the necessary silliness with domsummoned high tier units I found that the command is best used for summoning chaff and meatshields.

One variation that worked out fairly well was making an expensive custom LA C'Tis commander with #domsummon6 for a few different ME Ermor units. The basic idea was an effort from the C'Tis to help the few surviving refugees from Ermor. The mixed troops really worked well with the AI.

Putting #domsummon2 on the "Prophet Lizard King" unit, to summon Tomb Wyrms, also worked well enough. So far it's a good way to bring some of the rarely used units into play.

Your shapeshifted hero is a brilliant example though, and one that I will use on a few one of my own elites.
