Who is an ally?

in The Nine Hells
Many feats in the Temptation tree effect "the warlock's allies...". Who are my allies? Is this just the player characters in my party? Do these feats also effect me? Am I my own ally? does it effect my companions? my party's companions?

    PVE:
    Allies are counted: Party, guild, alliance, and other players.
    For example during big He runs, any player who get in your heal/buff effect area, receive them.
    Same stuff work when you join to tiamat, e/nDemo fights.. In pve you buff and heal all players, regardless in which guild/alliance they are.

    PVP:
    During pvp, Your allies are the only ones who are on your side.
    Domination pvp: your party members only get heal and buff. While other(enemy) team receive only debuffing effects

    During open world pvp in icewind dale or dwarf valley, your allies are counted the ones who are in same faction.
    For example:
    If you pick arcane brotherhood: all arcane brotherhood members get buffing, healing. And opposing faction receive debuffs only.

    Notification: It's not clear how powers should interact when players are in different factions, but are not in pvp ground..
    This stuff actually require testing, and Developers clarification how they should interact.

    Thank you, so the feats that work on my allies does NOT effect me, right?

    I think all feats affect you in same way.. So far Dark revelry buff works fine even I play solo.

    However I can't confirm about Compounded Soul and soul breaker feats. Because I don't use them.
    If you have them, it's easy to test..
    Compounded Soul provide temp HP by percentage of your warlocks max HP. So if you notice appearing temp HP during fights. Then this feat effect applies to you too.
    And if Compounded soul applies, then we can assume Soul breaker feat works in same way too.

    ok thanks a bunch. I'm thinking of respecing to Temptation, because I miss Life Steal actually doing something, but I mostly play solo so I wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a worthless tree for me.

    I think it would be wise, if you for short time, test your builds and temptation tree itself in preview server.. There are free respect tokens. And there you can test possible builds in action.

    The 'allies' text in the temptation feat tree means the benefit applies to your character, too:

    Compounded Soul
    Dark Revelry
    Aura of Cruelty

    Not sure if the Soul Breaker feat (provides AP) is working as expected, because I tested it in mod 9 with teammates and noticed basically nothing. I could not determine if it was working but had a long cooldown, or not working at all. Test this yourself if interested.
