Ive actually ended up restarting my game and going with a Mage after all. Because there are no healing spells anymore you have to rely on potions so I want a character that will stay out of combat as much as possible. I could have done that with the Rogue but I didnt like the fact that you cant create two seperate loadouts anymore, one for daggers and one for the bow so I didnt want to be switching in menus all the time.
Only done a few minutes as the Mage so far and it already seems more fun.
