Thanks for the help.
Some more questions:
1.
Why does the end-game favor physical damage? Is it because enemies have high resistances?
2.
Do enemies have summons
3.
How useful are bows / crossbows and the associated skill?
4.
Based on the feedback above, here is a less mage-heavy party:
Rogue - Daggers
Archer
Fighter or Knight
Mage
Is it possible for the same member to be both the rogue and the archer?
If not, what additional abilities should I pick on the rogue / archer / fighter.
