My 4 Hobbits had 2 bish, 1 sam wielding light sword and e-wazikashi [may have switched to canzou], 1 val using Xcal. They ROCKED. 1 bishop did the early game as a rouge and trained some on the treasure chests in the monestary. Didn't do any other profession switching or training 'cept a few spells cast at the trynton manna font.

My 4 faeries had 2 bish, 1 ranger, 1 ninja, no switching, no training [well, maybe a little at the manna font], and were even better, IMHO, despite the very limited equipment. The natually high manna regen made up for a lot of deficeincies.

I think it gets easier to build Uber parties after you've played through once, and my groups seem to get a little better each time. I like making a library of spell books that I may want later in the trangaporter room, and I always cast any healing/buffing spells with the hybrids, once they have them.

Both these groups cleared out the away camp before becoming templars, the fairies didn't even break a sweat. When both your magic users can cast Hex and an 'kill all' spell, even large groups of enemies don't last long.
