Sorry if this has been discussed before. But, as other topics have suggested, new folks (like me) are arriving all the time. I am new to wiz8, but played 6 and 7. I have noticed some differences.

How important is a priest? In wiz6 and 7, they were essential (for me at least) but in wiz 8, players regenerate fast while they sleep.

How powerful is a Bard? It seems that they can only launch their instrument about the same number of times that a spellcaster could launch their spell. I don't remember it being that way in 6 and 7.

Is it practicle for "elite" character to use their magic like it was in 6 and 7? It seems that my characters were using magic more in 6 and 7 than in 8.

Depending on the answer to the above, wouldn't fighters be nearly as good as a lord or samuri or other elite?

I found that a lord, sam, monk, ran, pri, bard worked wonderfully in 6 and 7, but I think that when I go through wiz 8 again, i am going to use 2 fighters, 2 bishops, a farie nin, and a ranger.
