I would go with Nightwing. I went with Lord, Samurai, Ranger and Monk and had a fun time with all four magic disciplines covered.
The only thing different was that I tried one of Atlus7's Battle Mage builds which was Human Samurai with Staff of Doom.
Yes, I know it wasted his Sword bonus but he was very powerful and a lot of fun, more like a souped up Mage but could wear decent armour and still fight on the front line. Just go to the Umpani Base first after the Monastery to get a Hayai Bo until you can get the SoD. Or try your luck in the Mountain Wilderness early on, if you dare.
