It is true that raw melee can be brutal, but the same can be said of magic. As I said earlier, depends on your playstyle. For example... do you know you can potentially clear a whole map of hostiles by simply casting two spells (or one if you are willing to gamble)?

i gave you full credit in the guide...
but there are certain encounters, like the lich in the docks, and the kangy guards where the best solutions are improved haste and azuredge...
quick blasting undead with ranged disrupting weapons, the improved azuredge is a way to cheese quite a few really evil encounters...
and of course ascention favors the melee heavy party, improved irenicus can be done on pure spell power, but it helps to melee...
i completely agree that sorcerors rule...my latest hacked version casts cleric and druid spells...and i too usually tend to end most battles with catacysmic magical showstoppers...
but i still love improved haste...
