Good question, i'm also interested in some input from those who finished the game at least once, but please keep the spoilers to a minimum (i know you will, just a precaution, sorry).

I'm currently limited to 4 party members, and up until recently i had a melee tank, ranged support and 2 nature mages (one autocasting group healing and buffs while attacking with area affect spells and the other autocasting single healing and attacking with ice spells). This combination worked really well, but since i replaced one of my nature mages (Taar) with a combat mage (Finala) my party members kinda started dying, a lot!
Finala is in the party only because i got the impression that she is somehow relevant to the storyline more than other characters (i hope i'm wrong about this). So, i guess i'll just put Taar back in.
I don't chop wood, ok. I'm not an axe.

I used a balanced party when I played, but I've heard of other parties working well. The only thing I've heard where people have had problems is when they tried to use a pet as their melee tank.

hi,
thanks a lot for the ansure swc,but i was interested if u can succede with a party of the same speciality(let's say 3 melee and (obviouselly)a nature mage).
I've tried and it works :p (hard at the begening,sooooooo hard),on merc i had only 3 melee chars and Deru(nature),but on the next diff. I added tarr,cause the only thing that deru was dooing was to heal :( ...(She also had grasping vine with 780-1200 points of damage [the best]).
So it works!!!(kids don't try this at home :) )
PS:Lilarcor every char has it's quest but different starting points!!!
Finala's quest is the longest in the whole game.... :(
PS2:don't hire pets there are sooooooo limited (my opinnion)
