I tried an all stealth party once before and I know what you mean about the criticals not kicking in right away lol The only difference between this party and the run I ran before is I did not have a bishop or any pure casters. My previous party was all rogues, ninja's and monk. The biggest problem with the previous is the lack of the mage's and priest's buff spells and as you said their criticals take a while to kick in. I Figured taking a bishop this time around would allow me all the needed buffs.

I'm not fond of dual classing because in wiz 8 it is not as effective as wiz 7 and a dualed character takes quite a bit of time to develope properly. I've been thinking, rather than dual the bishop I would leave her as a bishop and just train shield for the time when she ends up being target practise lol I may end up not dualing any of them and go with the following instead:

Rogue
Rogue
Monk
Ninja
Ninja
Bishop

As added protection for the bishop I may develope intelligence and vitality first, then go for piety and speed or senses. My poor little bishop will end up taking a lot of heat with all the other party members having stealth so I am looking for the most effective way to develope her so she won't get toasted constantly lol Bishop's take a long time to level up anyway so I'd rather not dual her if I can keep from doing it.
