Thanks for all the comments and suggestion..
I am playing normal. Didn't reply sooner because with work,et al, I get typically 2-2.5(max) hours play time on a weekday.
Felixg91 , a very kind offer but honestly I am not at the point where I can formulate succinct questions. it is still very random to me, I don't see the patterns, the big picture.
I started out with basic party (ranger/wizard/mage/fighter) and now am trying a party without a tank. My two characters are a ranger and a wizard - pyro and geo, I kept johan and hired another magic character. I didn't think the tank was contributing as much as the others, my feeling is that my two casters throwing up spiders is providing more tanking than I was getting before. Then again,probably not using Madora correctly
Thanks again
