Again, thanks folks for your input, I will look at Shaman as it's a concept I have enjoyed in other games, is it a witch archetype?

Thanks for the quick and helpful reply, I suspected what you said may be the case. In response to using spells for battlefield control I tend to buff players ( if they dont charge into battle first) and hold a reserve for healing. My ac is only 30 and foes never miss me so I try to avoid AOO at all costs so often I end up On the back line taking on the extra mobs that appear behind us and casting heals from behind the meat sheild. As I say it is great fun (some thing to be said about feeling like the underdog and winning) and I will not crtitisize a gm for playing the game he wants as he has put the time and effort into running the game. I just wondered if something was afoot. I'll consider this for an alt character.

Hello everyone, I've been looking on these boards for an alternative healer to the cleric I currently play ( alt in case I die).
Every thread I read seems to say that you shouldn't be healing in combat, and I am wondering what we are doing wrong.

Normally encounters are fine and We go through well but when we encounter anything that is above a standard encounter level I end up doing a lot of healing.

At level 11-12 we are taking 50+ damage regularly on a single attack (there's always multiple foes) and we are having to hit 30+ AC, we also find spells ineffective against them as they Always save. We are playing Carrion Crown.

All that being said we are all old mates and have a blast gaming regardless of the outcome. But why are we always needing/performing healing in combat? Is Pathfinder a Min Max game for set adventures, we have mostly +2 items and we don't all have wonderouse items, is this where we are struggling?
