Dislike Playing with Allies?
Posted: Tuesday, 28th November 2017, 19:19
I don't understand the broad distaste certain players have for playing with allies.
I'd like to draw a distinction between two separate uses of allies:
(1) Characters that are based around allies as core mechanic, that largely expect to use allies in every fight. Examples include the summoner background, some necromancer builds, hep, yred, beogh, fedhas for a while.
(2) Characters that have occasional or incidental ally effects. Examples include Trog BIA, TSO Angels, Scythe of Curses Procs, Phial of Floods, Sack of Spiders.
It is mainly a distaste for (2) that I don't understand. Can anyone who has this view elaborate where they are coming from?
