Granted, I've spent most of my play time so far trying out various starting class templates, and doing town quests. I've wandered outside to the west battling level 3 and 4 packs, met the two legionnaires on the lighthouse quest, and haven't really gone any farther than that ... so far. So I'm not really skilled at the game yet, obviously.
I keep wanting to try out different combinations but one of them always seems to be a wizard. I just can't help myself. And not only that, I dump the starting poison spell for summon spider so I've got an extra meat shield.
I just can't bring myself not to have a wizard. Right now my favorites starting out are cleric and wizard. Is the wizard just that good early on where you don't want to start without one? Or am I locking myself in needlessly?
