I finished the single player game with lvl 26 Rogue. I used Bow of the
Bear too (I bought it when I was about level 3). It's not too hard if
you advance very slowly and use the firewall spell. Steel Lords/Blood
Lords etc. are easy unless they manage to surround you. Just retreat
if they get too close. Easy way to kill those Succubi/Snow Witches
/whatever is to make few fire walls in front of you as soon as you see
them and then retreat a bit to make them follow you into the fire and
finish off any survivors with the bow. Diablo should be easy to kill.
