Bishops are overpowered but I love them anyway. Reading the new posts made me start up another Wiz8 team. I took a Dracon thief and gave him bloodlust and the thieves dagger. He's now at level 14 and hits for about 140 or so damage at two different points in combat (3 swings with bloodlust at a time). If anything gets near him it's all over. The only downside is the cursed item aspect. Generally I don't use cursed items because of the inability to use ranged attacks. I hate my character sitting around doing nothing, but at least dracon breath helps with that.
Then I've got a Mook Ranger for the scouting and heavy ranged damage, elven bard whose use of the sirens wail and rousing drums is quite nice, human valk with the stun rod which I love for its chance of paralysis, faerie bishop who, at level 13, has about 60 skill in all 4 schools. I saved a lot of her picks and sold tons of potions to get as many spell books as possible. I keep checking for new ones. She has got crazy amounts of spell points and I just maxed out intelligence and piety.
Lastly I went with a faerie ninja for the first time in Wiz8. Cane of corpus is nice but I think my Dracon does more damage overall. That and the ninja goes after my dracon and by then usually everything around me is dead so he often wastes a turn which kind of sucks.
Anyway having a blast. I think this is the most fun I've had with a team. Thanks to whoever mentioned the dracon rogue with bloodlust and thieves dagger. That is a great combo.
