from playing the game over several times I would say a good balance from a heavy hitter = duel wield -- to a good bow for great range and AOE exploding arrows , etc and or combining fireball to a sword and board never played a two hander guy yet but i always find my success in balancing (for melee or any class was have a close and ranged balance no matter if you are a sorc/rnger or a in your face hitter you must have an equal balance to be good if you can hit the guy from a far just to tempor. to slow him down till your A game comes to be affective
the thats the best
