I was considering this, too... but this comes with at the price of damage output so I decided against it.
Just finished the playthrough now. Watching ST:TNG on Netflix while I was waiting for the restocks did the trick and I was fully geared in second best and divine tier level 22 gear, with most bonuses at least somewhat useful.
Now I'm thinking about my next playthrough. Full magic party is, because of the gear / vendor issues, a no-go, obviously, so I have to come up with something else.
