[color:"red"]My DN is a warrior and seems ok (except he hits slooowly and miss a lot)

Be sure to beef up his Agility stat and his Accuracy with his weapon. 2-H weapons are slower then 1-H counterparts, he will be slooow if he uses such one.

My hero is a caster and is just a looser. With it's 31 int he can't send more than 5 or 6 fireballs (level 5) before having to use a poker to hit the opponents (this is efficient for Samuel's guards ... still ... it doesn't feel very wizard-like). (Beside, they do not do a lot of damage)

I agree: The spells available in Act 1 suck, be prepared to unlearn them and learn some shamanistic spells instead in Act 2.

I could use mana potion, but they are in limited supply.
And what about the merchant money ?
Merchants are poor. I was only able to get about 30000gp from them.

This should change with the upcoming patch (merchants should start resupplying)

What I'm supposed to do with the load of hardware I've looted ? Trash it ?

I usually trade the extra hardware for arrows (stacks weigh 12 no matter how big they are)
