The Avatar has always been a solid choice for Menoth players. It generated its own focus, couldn't be disrupted, and was immune to being targeted by enemy spells. Plus, it really packed a punch in melee. With good armor and a lot of hit boxes, it wasn't easy to take out, either. While I don't know what the new rules will bring for this divine behemoth, I'm sure it will remain a good addition to a Menoth player's collection.
