Huh--I myself am going to be using a Berserker->Cleric as my next Tank (with an Undead Hunter as backup Tank), but I'm not going to Dual him until a few levels into ToB, so I can get him Greater Whirlwind. Doesn't he still have room to reach his full Cleric capabilities?

About the Kensai->Mage: I tend to prefer Fighter->Mage myself, because I like bows so much. But I don't like the way you can Dual FROM a kit, but not TO a kit--it just doesn't make sense. That's like saying I can change careers; from a dentist to an auto mechanic, but I can't change from a dentist to a GERMAN auto mechanic.
I feel that you should be allowed to Dual to a kit IF you didn't pick a kit for your first class, so that, say, Fighter->Conjurer is a valid class. How do you folks feel--is it fair to Shadowkeeper in a 2nd class kit?
