i was at the beginning of act2 ,and was startng to notice a big differne in what my hero could have for armor, and what my DK had.. was hero wiz, and dk warrior.. went back and restarted with dk warrior and hero warrior .. dk warrior is currenlty using a bow, and at some point i am going to work in some spells as well..
my hero warrior is working great.. only time i ever get hit (using a shield) is against special mobs..
