From my PoV (might be rather specific) if I want easy non-caster game I select something like orc barb (or hobit assasin or duelist). I want to dual wield (for whatever my wicked reasons are) I opt for ranger. I want to be somewhat challenged I go thief/merchant. Spec is not for easy game, it is mostly for class identity and fighters have zero -- for me that is zero reason to play them.
p.s. in 1.1.1 healers were pseudocaster class - they had enormous affinity for spellbooks (iirc, human healer could learn fireball at level one - if he could get the book), they have been nerfed with the updates.
So far rolled 15 casters with RoDS and shamelessly killed them within 200 turns. For eternium glory!
(after 15 I stopped counting...)
