The thing is, any class *can* be soloed with, or if you're making a party, you have 6 positions to fill. why not have a cleric, mage AND Thief ? the thing with a party is mixing and matching the abilities of your crew. A mage might be better (but that's subjective) than a cleric, but a cleric IS useful. Since you have room, why not take both ? An infantry man has less firepower and less armour than a tank, but do you see armies going to war with JUST tanks ? No. because each unit has a tactical role to play, and a good general uses his troops to support and complement each other. It's called 'Tactics'.
