suggestions on party formation?

[Beowulf2104]

looking for a good party a nuetral part and an evil party
Good Evil Nuetral
Cleric (Me) thief Shapeshifter
Aerie korgan Jan
keldorn Edwin Keldorn
minsc keldorn (op alin helm) Mazzy
hear dalis Viconia Nalia
Nalia Jan aerie


Now the parties (nuetral especially) as sort of weak overall. i would love any helpful suggestions any one out there might make. also is there a use for haer dalis or whatever his name is that I'm missing out on? Cause thus far he's been, (to use the newly developing vernacular) the weakest link. So people, take pity on a poor LaX semi-jock new to the gaming scene and HELP! I emplore you!!!! Have a pleasant day

Korgan is an excellent tank. Have him at the front with the best armour. Do same if using Mazzy
Keldorn can be back-up fighter and attack the monster's flanks as Korgan engages them. Minsc will do for this too
Haer'Dalis' spin abilities are good but keep him as an archer unles monsters are relatively weak
Likewise with your Thief - use Shapeshift to flank medium beasties and backstab tougher ones while Korgan engages them
Viconia/Nalia/Aerie/Jan - use lots of Summoning spells (not the crappy monster ones, use elementals/stalkers/aerial servants)

Haer'Dalis is always going to be questioned in any party. I enjoy using him purely because of his origin's and he make's the game a little more interesting with his romantic interest in Aerie. At higher level's his spin attacks become devastating but he needs to be treated in the correct way. He's not a fighter and should be treated as a support character by equipping him with some sort of bow. In term's of should he be an automatic choice for your party, probably not. He is a weak character and there are much better choices in the game.
