About to start a Carrion Crown AP and the group already has a Pally and a fighter. Another player wants to do a Witch healer, while I want to do a debuffer witch. My GM suggested that I play a Cleric or Oracle of Life to be the party healer. My question is could the Witch act act as the primary healer for a group of six or would a secondary heal-bot be suggested?
EDIT: As of yet we do not have player 5 & 6 yet.
With the healing patron and the healing Hexes they can easily be main healers. Even in just a normal party of 4 the healing hexes equal 4 more spells slots a day. They can also pull of some interesting things with them like healing a entire city in a day since the hex is only limited by target not by use.
PS. there is only hedge witch if they feel the need for more heal-ish-ness but frankly I am not a fan. Giving up a hex to spontaneously cast cure spells isn't so bad but losing another hex for that mess of an ability Empathic Healing is just to big of a price.
Thanks guys/gals/scholarly neckbeards. I will bring this up to the other player. They are a new player to Pathfinder and might not know about the Hedge Witch. I am really looking forward to the debuffer witch. Any archetype that might be good for that?
Sadly the witch archetypes are generally bad. Hedge witch is the only one I would suggest to anyone and even then its only if they REALLY want more healing.
