What? Augurs are INCREDIBLY good.  You don't use them for their ritual, you use them as a scout that sees out two tiles instead of one. You stick one with your army and you now have both a much larger view area (really useful!) and no longer have to worry about spirits/bandits/horrors/etc. ambushing you (as helpfully illustrated by your Reveler without a scout) or hidden on a location. And again, the larger field of view makes it much easier to find nice targets to attack, as well as avoid that doomstack hidden in the fog of war. Sure they're generally expensive, and early game you might need the gold for something else, but it's really nice to have a few around.

On the other hand, the full-sized Air Elementals at least are perfectly happy to just sit where they start the battle at and spam their lightning strike. So despite the never heals issue they'll generally last a long, long time assuming you have a front line.

Enchanters actually have another really good frontline option that's even easier to obtain than Clay Golems in the form of Flesh Golems. Which just need corpses (human ones, as opposed to necrotods needing animal corpses) and you can use a second ritual to heavily armor/arm them as well. They'd also be basically ideal vs. you, since they come with Shock Resist (100). Unlike most golems they actually heal naturally too.

Not the worst in terms of power, as they do have a very strong summons in general and an extremely strong endgame (assuming the following doesn't happen), but I'd put Demonologist up there as one of the most unpleasant factions to play. Any of their summons can fail and result in what they're summoning immediately going hostile on you, even at 200% sacrifice level, which means you're heavily playing the RNG game with them in a game where the map can already throw no-win scenarios at you. And early failures at each new ritual level can be devastating.

Pale Ones are amusing because the big, beefy giant that's supposedly your faction leader is basically worthless and good for nothing outside early expansion, while it's the second commander you start with that's actually useful and has your rituals.
