Strengths

Weaknesses

Wraithsight: Due to the Wraithlords afore-mentioned Wraith sight, Wraithlords tend to 'fall asleep' during crucial points of a battle unless a Farseer or Warlock is in close proximity. Frozen Wraithlords cannot even respond to assaults! To increase usefulness and longevity it pays to make sure you don't allow it to wander too far away from your Seer-ish characters.
