All banned heroes (except for Orcs) are machine operators.
Well, not all of them, just Kaspar and Deleb (I wonder why Vittorio wasn't banned; he's also a pretty good operator).
You see, with the Astral Gate, you can bypass many strong monsters and quickly reach Razazak, but without the gate, you have to walk all the way.
But you can't get the Astral Gate until a certain level, and by the time you level up, you'll just waste time. And I don't think there's a scroll on the map.
Ангел пропел и полопалась кожа...
Мы выпили жизнь, но не стали мудрей,
Мы прожили смерть, но не стали моложе...
Агата Кристи
Ты должен быть сильным,
Ты должен уметь сказать: Руки прочь, прочь от меня,
Ты должен быть сильным, иначе зачем тебе быть?!
