Thanks everyone for the replies.

On my main save (where I just reached act 2) I got a party of 4 but it felt a bit meh as I think I made some bad spec decisions. Then I found on youtube this DK guy. But since I'm still exploring how the game works etc I guess going 2 DK's might be more suited for me at the moment.

As for the shadowblade build. In my main save of the party of 4 i got Fane as a rogue which was very fun but I probably played it wrong cause he died all the time ^.^.

Also regarding gear do you guys buy alot of gear or mostly find it in chests etc.

Got a feeling that on my main save my 4 heroes are just very weak and die super easily. Perhaps I'm rushing it too much in fights.
