@geala : I didn't mean to say I find the encounters easy. That seemed to have come out wrong. I meant that having 2 melee fighters and no mage in the party turned out to be surprisingly much easier than I had anticipated. Gale in my party is a heavy user of magic missiles and scorching ray. in Act 1 But even without these spells, my 2 heavy hitters managed quite well. And the other advantage is that Gale frequently needs to be helped up, so that offsets his magig missile power somewhat. I play on balanced mode by the way.
My latest PT was the dark urge as drow bard, with a bit (3 lvl) of warlock mixed in to get the eldritch blast. In the last stage of the game I managed to get the PC to an AC of 18. The highest AC in that party was Minthara in heavy armor (but no shield as dual wielder) with 25. Gale had 15 and Shadowheart 21. Unfortunately I can't reload the saves since patch 6 to see the details, I just saved a screenshot of the party at the time so I can still see the numbers but nothing more.
Right now in Act 1, the bard/ranger already has AC 18, because +1 chain mails are readily for sale.
