As Crenshinibon says, dualling the other way is impossible, and the extra attacks are handy. I have also found that cleric spells have never really made an impact (other than doom) rather than save time in comparison to the range and usefulness that mage spells offer. (and a few druid spells like those awesome insects)

I have always been a fan of the more mage heavy party, and condensing all of the required cleric spells (no-one ever REALLY needed level 7 cleric spells when it boils down to it, even on insane) into a character that can fight better - crom faeyr/runehammer pending - than any of your other characters.

After being so frustrated with Anomen (besides his voice) who dies loads, and Viconia (who wont just KILL!! the undead) who also dies loads, as well as Keldorn (who just needs more than weapon specialisation), and don't even get me started on Aerie(!!), I honestly think that this is the best character to go for. It really has to be tried to be believed
