Heh, I did the same thing when I voted. I checked magic/stealth for my mystic archer 'cuz it was the first proper combo I saw. I didn't pay any attention to the order of magic or stealth, just the combination. Upon reflection, I'd say she's about perfectly balanced between the two as a sneaky archer with plenty of magic. She simply doesn't use much destruction at all 'cuz that's what her bow's for. She even uses magic to open locks.

I think magic/stealth is the most powerful specialisation. By far, actually.

That isn't to say it's easy though, because in my experience it's only easy once you work out HOW to make it easy. Ie, Alchemy, Invisibility, etc.

A mage that, as well as hugely damaging spells and various utility magics, can apply a very high damage poison (after the target has been "prepared" with weakness to poison, if needs be) from marksman range is simply unbeatable.

Combat for me, it's just fun pretending you're an ordinary soldier out to save the world with nothing more than a handful of coins and a good sword.
