My party is like this and it has worked really well for me.

2 Knights for melee, they always rush forward and attract all the attention.

1 Combat magician for ranged combat (I love Flaming skulls).

1 Nature magician for ranged combat and healing. (dancing zap and party restore own me! )

1 Archer for ranged combat.

3 donkeys to carry all my shopping.

How did the rest of you make your party?

3 Melee guys. 2 of which being the standard Sword/shield fighters and who uses Two handed weapons.

1 Archer for your standard distance needs.

1 Combat Magician to deal some good damage.

2 Natural Magicians. 1 being for casting healing winds when the part is low and the other to deal some decent damage.

1 mule for when my partie's inventories are full.

It has worked quite well on normal difficulty. I am at the Castle of Ehb right now.

I have the same setup as RiViN has, believe it or not. I tried having more packmules, but it is working much better for me to have 7 active members.

2 Mules

It works great for me.

2 Archers

Having the Healing mages, saved me from buying alot of Potions

My party
   

Currently, as I approach the fortress you have to reinforce, I have
2 Fighters (37 skill)
2 Archers (35 skill)
2 Combat Mages (17! skill)
2 Nature Mages (25 skill)

I don't use mules, I just transmute any item I won't be using.
Both fighters have reasonable ranged skills and both archers have reasonable melee. Sometimes its just better to have them all in ranged mode or all in melee mode. All four mages have healing as their main role with some nuking from the combat ones and some buffing from the nature ones. I hardly use any potions this way.

One of the combat mages sucks and I hope to replace them for another melee character at the next town.

Oooh... a visit from "The Hound of the Dark One"!

You should register PadainFain, then we can tremble at your presence when we log in.

my party
   

I've got two melee up front and two melee backing up the crew. I have four casters in between...two nature and two combat. Everyone has a bow. I have the following combat settings: all bow; half bow and half offensive magic; half melee and half offensive magic; and half melee, a quarter healing and a quarter combat magic. It can be handy to run backward and lure monsters with ranged attacks...especially when you manage to separate big groups into a few small ones.

Restarted.
   

I registered. Are you trembling now?

I restarted the game, having reached the end of the Goblin Caves with a full party of 8 characters. I had one level 41 character and the others were in the 20-35 range, with the casters critically low and the archers in fairly poor armor. They were dying left and right.

Last night I reached the same point with the new party of:
Main Character: Melee/Combat. 42/20/1/22
Zed: Nature. 12/20/1/30

I'm having much more fun. I'm finding it a lot easier and effective to micromanage 2 characters completely than macromanage 8.
