Playing the EE.

I guess, one of my main chars will be a Fire / Earth Mage, cuz the one companion i get has Air / Water.

So my other main will be a dagger rouge or a archer. What is easier to play?

What Talents / Status Points should i skill? I heard that Glas Cannon for the rouge is not bad, but i don't know how it plays in this game.

I play on normal difficulty.
