Which class do you like best in Might and Magic VIII?

Wouldn't it be interesting to play for someone else? For example, I deliberately didn't use a dragon for my first playthrough, and it was fine. It's easier and more fun with a dragon, but...

But at the beginning, you need a player with a bow, and there won't be anyone else to choose from later.
My team should include: a dark elf patriarch, a lich, a light priest, a nosferatu (because of levitation), and a great serpent.
Of course, you can take your own necromancer, but the army will be weak.
