1. IMO warrior is WAY easier to play for, than mage. You just Rush Attack anyone, Whirlwind and kick all around with best weapons available. Seriously, I had tough fights couple times tops. Super easy comparing to mage, which which I was constantly jumping and dodging, saving and loading. Warrior even hit harder with weapons than mage with spells, MUCH harder. But maybe this is because I know game mechanics. Still the impression is as described.
You forgot Fatality. That skill is just EPIC!
I took down the 2 final FoV bosses in a couple of minutes thanks to Fatality.
