Years ago we finished up Kingmaker (Pathfinder 1st edition). We are a combat heavy group. I played an Elven Summoner named Harm that hated everyone except Elves. This included party members. He extra-hates gnomes. It was a really fun campaign.e and the gnome Oracle had a lot of fun. Ran him up to 18th mainly summoning devils and demons. My most favorite character in over 25 years of playing. Fast forward to now, our GM has a plan and wanted us to convert our characters to PF2e. Holy crap, summoners suck, a lot. Harm could summon pairs of demons at a time and then start blasting. I can't make anything close that is powerful enough to pull off "being Harm". All the spellcasters I've built are useless for combat. Trying a Bard because they have a lot of spell slots. Im sorry, but buffing/debuffing isn't fun. Being in a long hallway and dropping a megalodon on the bad guys and killing them is fun. We are a party of 4. The Swashbuckler was doing >200 damage per round. I was doing about 40. Felt useless. This was our second game using the new characters. I took a good bit of damage and didn't even care. If it had been old Harm he would have cast Dragon Form and bulked up. Even that spell is nerfed in 2e.
Sorry, just needed to rant. Sad what they did to spellcasters.
