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

A Troll – although scary, it’s also very strong, and if you play without Necromancers and Dragons in a game, it becomes an indispensable companion, especially when retrieving corpses from difficult situations.
Cleric – anyone who doesn’t like Clerics is probably a masochist.

1) Dark Elves 2) Trolls 3) Vampires The last time I played, I used a party of 5 Elves. I found 5 Devil's Scythes (bows that shoot fireballs), and you won't believe it, a volley of 10 fireballs left no chance for the mobs; no one could even get close to my squad. In melee combat, my Berserk Elves fought with daggers enchanted with vampirism, which guaranteed good healing. I don't like Clerics and Necromancers because there are better alternatives for all of them, and they also depend on mana. For example, instead of a Cleric, you can take a Troll and give him a vampirism club, and voila, the need for healing disappears. You can also do the same with other members of the squad by enchanting their weapons with vampirism, and considering that I prefer to take damage dealers in my squad, they will heal well from their own attacks. A Necromancer can easily be replaced by a Dark Elf, as a Dark Elf can deal as much damage with regular attacks as a Necromancer with his spells, but the Elf's attacks won't consume mana, and the Elf can master all the main travel spells, and the Grand Master level is not required. Oh, how cool! :D By the way, I played the game with parties consisting of an Elf and: four Trolls four Minotaurs four Dragons (the most boring playthrough) four Vampires

I won't be very original, but a dragon and a necromancer
I voted for the necromancer because with the dragon, everything becomes too easy; it's more interesting when you sit and level up air magic, and even fire magic as well. But the dragon just appears and replaces everything, and it deals a lot of damage.
The necromancer has my favorite magic, and I like them in general, in any game.
Last time, I played as an elf, and no matter what, I can't level him up to grandmaster; every time, I accidentally sell the scrolls for the quest :D But I agree, even without that, the character can be strong.

I also sold scrolls a couple of times, but they are easy to find in stores, and the library on the Dagger Wound islands often has the ones you need.

Damn, my brother said that they can't be obtained anywhere else, and I believed him.

...I don't like magic, that's why I chose a Knight...
