I couldn't disagree more. My battlemage and Madora do tons of damage. Avoiding environmental issues, including (especially?) the ones you create with your caster(s), is part of the skill required by the game. As you level up, you also get the Featherfall spell which lets you move melee characters around without damaging them (unlike Teleport), so that helps some. But the real trick is in properly managing your environment.
Edit: I agree with the post below about using two handers. Much more damage (obviously) than one handers.
