I can't understand people who say the dolls are useless for anything other than pack horses. I use them all the time, and have a pack of 6 to help me slash through the hordes of baddies in no time.
If your planning to play in the after game battlefields then they're awesome, and here follows why, but careful reading it if your haven't finished the game yet, cos it gives the ending away.....
<span class='standouttext'>Spoiler : </span><span class='spoiler'> When the game ends you lose your Death Knight, so make a save before the end of the game. Cash in all your Death Knights skill points and turn them into Doll level upgrades (Add 4/5 as doll skill slots so they can have doll range 4/5 on 1 of the dolls, if none of your characters has it). Then use all the points to level up your dolls (I don't bother with the demon, since he cant use a weapon). My other 3 dolls all have strength and agility at 100+ without any aid from charms, and are powerful accompanyments for my now loan hero. An awesome foursome + 1 packhorse (Demon doll) </span>
