im a melee type person.slash and hack as the ancient Spartans and samurai's never used bow as it is not honorable.
Actually, samurai used bows all the time.

Although I have not played this game yet, in my experience from other games, mages are the bomb. There is nothing like simply putting one's hand in the air and causing someone or a group of attackers' demise. The more I read on this forum, the more interested I am in playing this game. Mages rock though...
