Don't warriors always suck in games mostly anyways? Even in dungeons and dragons they suck. They might be all cool at the start, but once the mage gains a few levels, it's all over. (Esp w/a fighter/mage).

Try your fancy warrior shit when you're being assaulted by a hasted dual wielding whirlwind of death.

But anyways, I had a dream about this thread. Basically, your mage isn't going to do shit against those big multi-boss encounters. You'll be glad that you have a melee tank in the fight, preferably a paladin (aka, healing/buffing/warrior).
