Simple question really... Is the human as a mage and deathknight as a warrior viable in hardcore difficulty? The human is closer to the main character so I want him to be my mage, though I know deathknight isn't necessarily the best melee character. I haven't finished the game before, only played a dozen or so hours a couple years ago, but I always play everything on the highest difficulty. I would feel as though I'm ripping myself off if I don't play gaining more experience and skill points.
