Soothsayers?

I used them on and off until the very end.

Inquisitors are good against undead and demons, and their rage refilling ability is nice to gear up for the next battle (and to actually bless units when fighting undead/demons). Some additional resurrection can't hurt, either. They suck otherwise, but then again, a lot of battles are against undead or demons...
As I recently arrived in Demonis, I thought about using soothsayers for their blizzard ability. Not sure if I have enough mind runes for the talent that negates the morale penalty (rangers are awesome).

Typically you will find some soothsayers in the beginning on the first few islands then its likely you will not find them again until you get to the last 3 islands on the bottom of the map but in some games the guy who's boat you have to get back in Verlon Wasteland may carry some and also the lighthouse right next to him in the same area both of them tend to carry viking units. So that is probably about your best bet.
