EA Vanhiem advice

Except Vanheres don't have an incredibly high defense, even with W9, since their base defense is fairly low, and when they go berserk it drops even more. Seems to me there's little synergy there.

I did well with a F9E9 Cyclops. The protection stacks nicely with their armor and the bless armor bonus.
The biggest weakness is arrows. They are fairly slow and unshielded, until you can start using Storm or Arrow Fend. W9 would help with that by letting them close faster.
