Yeah, some fights were more difficult than I remember, like Gru Morde and the Stone Golems, and I don't think I'll ever do two Rogues to start again, but I did find the Gnome worked very well in that role- he had no trouble with any traps until this area. Most of the time he didn't even need to use lock picks.

On the other hand, my Wizard has by far the most kills- over 2K, while the #2 character, originally a priest and now a Warlock, has under 900 still. It seems 2 or 3 Wizards would be better except for their lack of hit points. Sparkie has died more often than the others.

So it seems that the most efficient starting party is still the traditional 2 Warriors, 2 Wizards, a Priest and a Rogue. This party definitely has employed magic much more often over melee weapons after moving up in roles, but I've found melee necessary in some situations, so having at least a few characters good in melee is a must for me.
