I missed out on the last thread, and I am late on this one too. I am the guy that E.T.A. was beating up on in the beginning of this thread, and I wanted to share my perspective. Now mind you, I am a newer player (a little over a year and a half) so I please forgive me if I am saying anything that would be a "duhh" moment. I have PTSD when it comes to Resurrectionists, as I have taken the most licks from them, but happy to report that I am in recovery!
I think Belles are annoying as hell, but the last game I played with E.T.A. showed me something that I have been lacking in my games. I got so afraid of being lured that I have been hanging back and playing defensively, which in turn allows me to get lured on their terms (i.e. once I come out of hiding to advance toward scoring). Rushing them down helped me much better, however, I learned you still need to be careful rushing them down. I think it is part of that PTSD that I was referring to before. I have been lured more times than one should be in one lifetime, along with Whispered from Beyond as well, but that is another therapy session for another time.
The Belles themselves are annoying, but its more of the combo meal that makes them good, IMO. (luring into RN or gunline of Convict Gunslingers, or my favorite, the Hanged).
I know this post is lacking in substance, but figured I'd toss in the perspective of the victim.
