Well, perhaps... but I was trying not to discuss this in terms of practicality, only concept-wise. Since it sounds like the OP is new to the game, I didn't want to discourage them from certain playstyles or trying things out right off the bat.
This game is already intended to be challenging. I feel that if they're new to the game, it is a good idea to warn them of potential pitfalls, such as trying to be good at both physical and magical damage on one character.
