Advice on Machaka appreciated

WIthout going into details, I think the Hunters and the Bane Spiders, and at least light bless effects, can all be worth it and used effectively, but also require investment, so it's a matter of style and preference. Don't try to do everything all at once, or it's likely you won't do anything well enough. However I have had success even fairly early on with some Hunters. They don't need blesses, but blesses (and magic items) just make them more deadly and tough to kill.

Bane Spiders are good assassins, but of course they aren't 100% effective, are expensive and don't make sense to try to use all the time. Their armor makes their defense rather low. Adding luck, etherealness, or Defense improving items will help them beat tougher opponents.
