I think a fighter with good magic resistance is better but a mage is probably more fun.......

My monk at level 21 with a necklace and both Gaxx rings has 95% resistance to Magic. While I agree that both are important, very few mages are going to last long against her one on one, especially since I sided with the King in the underwater city, and got the Gauntlets of Crushing.

Just my 2 coppers, sorry for the run-on sentence.

Melee types do the bulk of the dirty work in my groups. Towards the end of the game, my fighters always have a ton more kills than my mages.

However, it is the mages who make the difference in the hard battles.

Heh, Id have to say a mage.

I played as a sorcerer like this:

Girlde of (insert word here) and got him about 19 str.
Boots of speed.
Stiletto of Demarchh2+ dagger in offhand
Mefs meteor in regular hand,

He was my TANK! I mean, the only spell he used was mefs metero whatever it is called. He those enemies arses.

Typically, it is a mage with magic and steel(dagger), but I prefer a mage over a warrior/barbarian anyday.

I considered him a left

Fighter attacks Sorcerer with tons of faster cast spell items, Sorcerer makes Mordenkainens Sword's, Fighter is now a pile of dead meat.

I would have to say Magic is probably the most powerful. Some of those high level spells are just ridiculously powerful.

A high level fighter class is a mighty opponent...but they just don't stand up to high level wizards.
