Hey all,

I would like to ask peoplez here about having an optimal party for 4 (maximum 5).

1. Human Warrior Priest (Dual Class Berserker/Cleric) or Paladin (RP reasons)
2. Dwarven Defender
3. Elf Mage
4. Half-Elf? Mage-Thief

Any thoughts?

Although perhaps a late answer in your particular case, here are my thoughts about a four/five member party which might match your intended kind of play style (or the play style of others reading this while asking themselves the same question):

Berserker/Cleric, dualling at 7 or 9
Dwarven Defender
(1) Elven Mage or perhaps Sorcerer (2) Mage/Thief multi
(1) Cleric/Thief in order to have half a Cleric more at hand (2) Fighter/Cleric multi or Fighter/Druid multi

As a fifth party member you could take along a (kitted) Paladin or a Bard (e.g. Skald).

You can pretty much run any party you like.

I'm currently running 5x Fighter/Mage/Cleric and 1x Fighter/Mage/Thief on Insane difficulty (starting at lvl 1) for double XP and right now I've completed both expansions and returning to Easthaven. I had to dial back the difficulty on only 2-3 boss fights.

FMC's are lvl 15/15/16, FMT has 15/15/18
