Hi guys
I finished the game once as an archer (fun) and currently I'm using the monk (ultimate tank). I have to admit an evil monk is a bit of a laugh (low on hp though, even though const is 18? Anyway, my q is as follows: I want to do the game one more time, just to try out all the npcs in the game. I want to go as a magic user, and would like your opinions on which is the best type to go with for a] different experience b] interest c] playability I've been thinking of going as a necromancer 'cos I want to do evil things, but I have heard about this wild magic or something, is there any particular type of mage you would suggest and what are sorcerors like (and do you get necromantic, wild magic sorcerors?) |

I suspect that you are going to have as many answers as there are schools of magic. Except diviners. Everyone hates playing diviners for some reason... ------------------ |

I would say a thief gets to do all the fun stuff! The other classes just run around and kill things. My best character now started as a mage and dualed to thief, so she is a thief that can use scrolls.

Yep. Conjurers are best cuz the opposite school is the weakest.

All the specialist mage and magic class stuff is in the manual. Myself, I usually play a Necro 'cause the games illusion spells suck, but...I kinda liked the Sorceror(ducks rotten tomatoes) No, really!
