Best class, favourite class Options

[Baronius]

No this is not a poll, rather a discussion topic.

What is the class you think to be the most powerful in BG2 (and ToB), and what is YOUR favourite class?

As for me, I'm sure that the Sorcerer is the most powerful class in the game. It's also a favourite class of me, I think not only because it is strong but also because the Sorcerer's energy comes from his/her veins... anyway I also like the Conjurer a lot.

I think that there are two major types of players one that don't want to deal with magic and the other who love it. I belong to second group - I simply can't imagine fantasy game without it... It is the core thing that distinguish the realms presented in game form historical middle ages (maybe except the monsters...). For instance, even if Forgotten Realms have land of Cormyr, the game in it, I think, would be SO boring. Despite Minsc's extraordinary representaion of berserkers and their whiches form this land, lack of magic and trust in the might of physical strenght - destroys whole spirit of what the true fantasy should be in my feeling. Thus going back to the theme of this topic my favorite clas is of course dual class thief (swashbuckler) and mag, if there is XP Cap remover I shell even say that you can try to play multiclass thief/mag. Thief class is simply forced by terrible lack of any good thief in the game - some mods of course provides us with new characterws but still there is hard choice - as long as for me and in addition it gives possibility to use sweet katanas by mag (heh nice dual with weapons for example with long sword or scimitar (tripple damage) on tenesers spell - can be VERY productive - it simpluy rules (huh I probably misspeled this one also). Secondary, the dual thief mag, because of enormous power of mag in higher levels with HLA abilities is so enormous that excpet boss battles it don't need any help to go through maps (thus disarming traps, instead of keeping thief all the time behind is VERY useful). Secondary I really think that mags, or better mag specialist are better then sorcerers. First they are maybe slower in developing magic skills but variety of spells makes them VERY elastic and useful, some situations force to use new tactics (especially after instalation of Weimer's Tactic mod), and variety of spells that mag class represents can help many times - and prepare perfect sets of spells against particular creatures like in Planar Sphere in hell (cold spells) or thesame in Marching mountains - the ares in which mostly used fire spells are useless and different magic is quite handy. As long as I attempt to play BG2 again, I think that this time I'll make kenesai/mag dual class. In addition to possibility to fight with fighter weapon the kai plus tesner plus all mag spells to help plus improoved speed (and some item that adds attcaks per round form mods) can make a real killing machine with skil to use time stop destroy anyt protection and use deadly swords against enemy.... Ahhh just love it:) What would you say guys on sth like this (despite my lack of english skills - )
