Sometimes I do a bit of both. Like make a Mook ranger (a strong match, with a great weapon later) or a Dwarf bishop (somewhat breaking the mold, but stronger survival at early game). There are some combos that might not work well. Never tried a Lizardman alchemist, not sure if I want to. If you have a party of 6, you have more leeway. With smaller parties you need be more careful since every char counts.
My current part is "crit-heavy", just to see how it plays. Other than that, the races are somewhat "matched" to profession.
Human monk (bare hands, wrist rocket)
Dracon Samurai (ivory blade, heater shield, siege arbalest)
Faerie Ninja (started as Human ninja to get ninja armor before lev 2,Cane of Corpus, Winterwand)
Elf Bishop (Vampire chain, *light* shield, wrist rocket)
This plays great, but must admit it was harder than usual before lev 11. Weapons weren't that good and fighting skills weren't up. This party did make it to Arnika while still lev 2. Currently at lev 20 in Rapax Castle. About half of kills are instant. Armor ranges from 25 to 30 (for the bishop! *light* shield helps) with armor plate on.
