[Great Sif]

Hi, all!
I am playing an elite party (Lord, Samurai, Monk, Ninja, Ranger, Valk) just for fun. They are lvl 17 now and I must say:
CRITICALS SUCK IN WIZ8!!!
4 of 6 people of my party are able to make critical strikes, but they happen so rarely (every 2-3 battles 1(!) critical). And those few criticals happen mainly because some weapons have a %kill chance on their own.
I must admit that when fighting against monsters with lower lvl than your party criticals (and any other weapon effects) occur more often.
But you do not want to fight crappy low exp monsters just for getting some more critcals, do you?
If I compare my Fighter-Fighter-Rogue-(insert any 3 other pure classes here) party with my elite party, I come to the conclusion:
ELITE CLASSES IN WIZ8 SUCK TOO!!!

So, if ya want to have a challenge or just some fun play with the weak elite classes, else take the "normal" classes you are used to from other RPGs. The only elite class well balanced is a Bishop in my opinion, if you want to strategically fill your character slots.

My opinion and my experience...

P.S.: Those "Killer Monks" with 8*15 dmg bring my 4*120 dmg Fighter to laugh...
