My first play at <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> and I chose Wizard as my main character.
I now believe that it IS the way to go as I have the best of both worlds. He has a great Bark weapon + shield and, as an alternative, he can deal a bunch of damage with his Water/Air combo magic. It was kinda tricky to start, but as soon as I got his INT boosted he was away.
Nothing seems able to stop him.
I suppose this will change as I am only finishing off the first Act.
Just thought I'd give you my thoughts.
