Can you post your entire party? I like small parties therefore I have been using the following four:

Fighter 4/Rogue X (dual short swords and bow)
Rogue 3/Monk X (fists and throwing darts)
Fighter 4/Cleric (Talos) X (mace and bow, healer and summoner)
Fighter 4/Sorceror X (quarterstaff (I think) and crossbow, mainly casts fireball and web)

I typically send my Rogue and Monk into an area to scout around. I then position them behind the toughest 2 enemies. I have them strike first and then bring in my cleric and sorceror to help finish them off. At first, I mainly used my spellcasters as ranged attackers, but then I noticed what a good melee fighter my cleric was (especially w/ this mace that I have that does added fire damage). I've had a couple tough battles with this party, but nothing has caused me more trouble than Chapter 3, which I just started. Usually, the only time I am reloading a fight is when my Monk or Thief fails to hide before I have them in position or when I use the wrong combination of spells. There were some fights in the Ice Temple (late chapter 2) that I had some problems with as well. The cool thing about my Rogue and Monk is that when I have them attack and they get swarmed with enemies, I can have my sorceror drop a fireball on them. My Rogue and Monk ususally evade the fireball spell and the enemies get toasted.
