I suppose ranger has the greater advantage for multiple-target attacks, while the scoundrel has better damage multipliers for single-target punishment (Guerilla is the biggest one, but you need a high Sneak investment to reduce the AP cost to enter sneak mode in combat). Since you get a warrior early on (though I dislike her initial setup, maybe you will choose to forego her), you could also diversify by having a Scoundrel/Marksman character (they both work off of Dex, just equip a bow or dagger for however you feel like utilizing it). Witchcraft also has great debuffs such as Curse and Mass Weak, a very powerful summon, Armored Undead Skeleton, though his AP cost is a bit steep, and towards the late-game, a hard resurrect spell rather than just scrolls, and am Invulnerability spell, convenient for squishy backliners in a moment of worry). Oath of Desecration has a low cooldown at high intelligence as is a huge damage boost (50% for 3AP, can't go wrong at all). All of your mages should take Witchcraft as well.
The first recruitablr mage you meet in town is an Air+Water mage, so if you want to have variety and cover all bases, you should make your starter Fire+Earth.Īs well, I believe mage should carry Leadership since they may benefit the least from it's effects (spells don't have an inherent chance to miss, so the increased hit chance is wasted on a mage, for instance, and Leadership buffs only apply to party members other than the Leadership carrier). Fire and Earth combos a lot off of itself but doesn't become very effective until you get Acid Breath and Deadly Spores, around level 7 or 8. Air+Water is more useful for snaring and control rather than damage (and control is very important, don't underestimate it) as it deals primarily in single-target spells and stuns (stuns have 50% increased chance to stun while it is Raining, a water spell). Mages are strong Air and Water as well as Fire and Earth synergize with each other. The first two characters you make should just be custom. The alternative being to save/reload at chests hoping for Int+Dex gear, and since it's highly random, you could be there a very long time. A ranged healer will be a less effective archer or healer than specializing it's not discouraged to "dip" into off-spec schools (as in, 1 or 2 points for low level spells), but investing to get to a point where healing is effective, so that your spellcasts would never fail, you have to invest in Int alongside Dex, meaning you'll have less Constitution, Speed, or Perception.
