Default Devourer of souls

Are these things worth 30 d gems?

I thought i read on here awhile back they were nerfed. They would have to be pretty awesome to be better than 3 tartarian gates(10 d gems each).

If they are not better than 3 tartarian gates, what is the point of having them as a conj 9 nationial summons for MA Ctis?

Considering that Tartarians are the damn best thing in the game, how would you weigh anything else against THEM for comparison?

No, I wouldn't say that it is worth thirty death gems since you will have to bring mage support to ensure that he can hit the SC.

My point is not that they should be better than 3 tartarian gates, but they should not be conj 9. It is pointless to have a conj 9 national summon cost 3 times as much and be not as good as a 10 d gem summon any nation can get.

Maybe make them 10d gems and move them to ench 5.

not for my money. I will take a gorgon any day.

I think he means for cost effectiveness. I wouldn't pay 120 gems for a gorgon over 30 for a tartarian. (GoRed- 100 vs 10 otherwise.)

Do it like Sombre does, compare them to Bog beasts.

Souless are free, therefore more cost effective than tartarians. Ha.

The devourer of souls is a singular entity. He is named Ammit. He doesn't bother about cost effectiveness. He only comes if enough death gems is offered him. Ammit consumes souls. He will consume the soul of the one ridiculing him for inefficiency!

Will he consume said person's soul efficiently?

Very efficiently! A bit like ice cream in the jaws of a five year old.
