If you are searching for the performance, you do not need a "jack of all trades." You need a build that breaks the game’s economy, solo-cleanses dungeons, and kills final bosses in seconds.

When SpellForce: The Order of Dawn (and its expansions, Breath of Winter and Shadow of the Phoenix ) released in 2003, it did something revolutionary. It mixed the macro-management of an RTS with the hero progression of a deep WRPG. But here is the secret that veterans have known for two decades: The game is not balanced.
This ensures you never run out of damage. Even if you run out of mana (unlikely), you swing a two-handed sword four times instantly. For bossing, this out-damages any pure caster because boss magic resist is high, but melee armor penetration works.
It has no hard counters. It heals. It nukes. It buffs armies. It resurrects fallen RTS heroes. It kills the final boss of Shadow of the Phoenix (The Phoenix Lord) in under 45 seconds.
