I personally like ARcane magic is coo and its mostly offensive. Divine well I am not saying it sucks just that it doesn't have as many strong offensive spells as Arcane does. BUT the main thing in my opinion divine has a huge upperhand over is upgrading the stats of party members and healing them with spells or with "duct tape". But I haven't tried out a cleric and my mind might change but for the time being I would be a wizaard

P.S. If you didn't understand I meant by duct tape http://www.gamespy.com/comics/nodwic...nodwick01.html

Well wizards are pure slaughterhouses at higher levels but I prefer clerics myself. Clerics are decent in melee and can wear armor. I find the mage's lack of equipment annoying. I'm sure many people will argue that a mage doesn't need armor and melee skills but I'm more of the hack-and-slash person than the meticulous planning mage.

Planning? What's that good for? If you don't wanna plan, play as a sorcerer. In the end you will be able to cast more spells, and you dont need to chose which ones.
