Who is better? I know having 2 thieves is overkill, so help me decide who i should boot. btw thanx everyone for all the info on my previous Longbow shortbow discussion.

Class-wise I'd say their equal, so it
Depends on their stats, skills, etc. We wouldn't be talking about Nalia and Jan would we?

If its a choice between Nalia and Jan...Keep Nalia..she is a formidable mage once she get up to level 15+...something Jan will never do.

personally, I would prefer the thief/mage, if you are dual-class, otherwise, I would prefer the thief mage http://www.gamebanshee.com/ubb/biggrin.gif. Because the Illusionist can't learn necromancer spells, which is REALLY annoying. And, a mage dualed to thief... forget it. It will never get the cool spells etc. etc. (except, ofcourse, that you dual-class him at level...20)
