but went with the oppressed City Elf rogue instead, haha. But yeah, I hear you on those fights... I put the difficulty on Hard since I love challenges and I've had a fair number of close calls so far (and a couple reloads).

I was thinking of an archer myself but I wanted my lead guy to be in the thick of shit so I'm focusing on skills to buff his backstab. There are some really helpful Archer skills though, so I'll probably keep that guy once he shows up in the story too.
