Right now a lot of the troll forums are saying that Grissel2 might be one of our worst warlocks, but I can't see why. She has Dash, Inhospitable Ground and a Rof 3 gun that is basically a spell gun. Her short comings are a small spell list and decent feat. I think shes pretty good, but the hive mind has given up in her already.
Really?! I love playing EGrissel. Inhospitable Ground is a great spell, and so is Dash. Plus she has a fairly high defense and armor.
I haven't gotten to user her Fell Blasts Gun yet, but on someone on the internet suggested to play an Impailer with EGrissel so you could cast Snipe on her for her Fell Blast gun, which I thought was a good idea.
I think Grissel2 looks really good too, I haven't played her yet, but I'm planning on either getting her or Jarl, and since I love Champions and Long Riders I think I'm gonna go with Grissel2 to maximize Dash and her feat.
I think the shortcoming to eGrissel is how expensive she is to run fury wise. If she tries to cast both spells and shoot all three shots, that's 7 of her 6 fury before she boosts anything. Technically you could say the same of any caster, but against any non pathfinder army she's going to want to use everything almost every turn, since it's just all so full of awesome. In essence: her drawback is she's actually too awesome for her fury score. She looks fun to play (and plays one of my assassination tactics of shoot knockdown gun at a caster, burrower dogpile better than Grim in some cases: inspiration lets the poor burrowers ignore those nasty abomination casters), and definitely isn't the worst. She just isn't as solid as the top tier. (This all might just be pointless blathering. I still need to find a copy to try).
Her tier also looks fun and "relatively" easy to build. Horthol, Sons of Bragg, optional battle engine, and 3 beasts might not be the cheapest, but they're all fun stuff and easier to justify than a second copy of a unit like most tier lists.
Oh, and she definitely isn't as bad as say...the skinner is?
