Uses for Skratti?

[Aleph]

I like that they have all these options, I just wanted to know what people's basic builds are for different ones. When I thug them, for example, it's usually just a pendant of luck, a reinvigoration amulet, and Chill of Winter + Quicken Self. It works okay, but there's probably better builds out there. I pretty much only use them for arty once I have falling frost. I'm thinking of trying out Jotunheim as a blood / scales build, and it looks like skratti are their big guns (unlike Niefel, which with the right blesses you pretty much only need your capital sacreds).

And can anyone tell me how to use leeching touch effectively? The computer occasionally uses it extremely well (Father Illearth survived some doom horror attacks with it + invulnerability), but I can't get my guys to use it by planning for it.
