Is Ash a viable starter now?

After the HotA's 1.7.2 patch many spell speciallists got buffed significantly. Bloodlust spell in particular caught my attention. +10 attack on top of it's regular +6 for all tier 1 units feels like a new Lacus'/Calt's specaility! A humble stack of imps with bloodlust hit just as hard as eefrit

On top of that, Ash starts with new Eagle eye, making her even better! Nothing like stealing a chain lightning before the figvt!

I doubt it. Eagle eye is still largerly useless, because it requires you meet your opponent before it even has a chance to do anything. In early game bloodlust only affects imps. So you will be better off picking Calh or Ignatius. In the late game bloodlust only gives +10/12 attack to units that matter (T5-T7), and it doesn't affect your T6, so it's a minor advantage.

Why does it not affect dogs

It does, but imps tend to be a better early stack through sheer numbers.
