... on the other hand have always used by DK for close up work and found his amour OK (though enhanced later in the game with various 'Yits' - see another thread).

Have always used the 'hero' for ranged weapons trouble is even when my 'hero' is a wizard never get to use wizardry as always have too many arrows to use up.

You may like to consider using the DK as a grunt concentrating on close work (swords and sheild or double handed sword) and to develop your hero to be a more 'all round' character.

At least you can change/upgrade your Hero's items whereas the options for DK are somewhat limited to rings, belts and amulets.
