Scarred Witch Doctor optimization?


Advice


I'm building a Scarred Witch Doctor. It is just me and one other new player, who is playing a Ranger. As such, I need to cover arcane casting and healing, so I thought witch would work well.

My GM is allowing me to play Scarred Witch Doctor on any race, provided it makes sense and I can work up a proper backstory for it.
I've pretty much got my spells chosen, but I can't decide on patron, race or the two traits I'm allowed.


Race should be one that gets a Con bonus. Are you going for a mêlée witch or a more traditional caster?


Ancestor patron is good, lots of good buffs.

Just sink all your points into con, don;t worry about anything else.

Con con con con con


More of a traditional caster. Hexes to debuff, particularly slumber and Coup De Grace. Con way up and prehensile hair if I need to defend myself. The Ranger is a Skirmisher, so she gets no casting.


Any other recommendations? Any help is massively appreciated.
