1) against necro/ap
you can see them
they have a lag after summon and you can react (attack them or run)
they have to put a succesful sleep on you (so they have to have first strike
on you and your saves check should fail)
and even being slept with all shitty spells on you
you have the last chance: teleport (potion or spell)
Even with all these limitations, summon/sleep combo is nasty

2) with sylvan shaman (and generally summoners in sylvan)
considering areas with forest rooms
you can't see them
they have a lag after summon but often you are lagged too by thorns
(because often you are summoned WHILE you are moving through the area)
they insect you in combat (they don't need first strike, while you usuualy
can't attack them directly)
it is usually very hard to escape from sylvan shaman (unless he doesn't
want to kill you very much)
even if you manage to pass through thorns, you may be just summoned back
So usually you have two options: win the combat or die.
(ok, being very well prepared/eqiped, you may win/escape )

Limitations like "don't put thorns at x-roads" help...
until some sylvan would set thorns at x-roads for YOU personally
while he would not do it for the 20 other people... hehe
