I did classic playthrough and now go tactician and after having classic playthrough experience, it's really not a big deal. I finished Joy pretty easily with a band of 4 - summoner, tank, enchanter, ranger.

Of course if you charge into shit with all party stacked you get obliterated 80% of the time, but if you take decent positions before a fight, preferrably with height advantage and use tank as a bait for them to toss all their nukes at, while ranger and incarnate murder their softies - it's becoming just fine.

Like Kniles fight, was actually easier than in classic for me this time because unlike first time where I was like "lulz wut do I do?" facetanking him for Rhalic knows what reason, I took ramps with my casters/ranger for insane range and damage boost and sent tank and incarnate to CC and delay him, so I basically killed him before he even had a chance to act, no idea what was that joke in picture before, it's totally unnecessary.

Same with the void dude in the middle of the marsh, it totally murdered my ass in classic... in Tactician I simply took high ground across the wooden bridge, spilled some oil on you have there and my ranger and summoner just nuked all the melee guys trying to pass that bridge slowed from oil and with those out of the way it becomes a whole lot easier.


Now considering that in Classic in Arx I reached a level of party power where I was just about unkillable I have no doubt that Tactician will be manageable and reasonably challenging as it should be.


I do think that if I would not do classic before, I'd get my ass handed to me, but I pretty much avoid all the mistakes and have knowledge of how things work from a get go and it's pretty big there.
