is there a class/way to specialize on swarms?
How to power-up 'em?
thank you for your time :3 i'm learning!
and remember that Banjo is the only God... convert yourself today and get a bonus to divine spellcasting (+1 at 4th, then +1 every two level thereafter)
thank you both...witch seems to get control earlier... but as i see.. i must focus on summonings... so maybe better a master summoner maybe

It seems that the Augment Summoning feat would boost summoned swarms, since those are [summon] spells.
Note that boosting the swarm's Constitution also increases the DC of its abilities.
In addition, the Conjurer wizard extends the duration of summon spells by a number of rounds. This is relevant for Summon Swarm spells that have a duraction of 2+Concentration rounds; yours last longer, for good or ill.
with summon swarm exactly what you can summon? (a swarm ok, but of which creatures?)

With the Summon swarm spell you can summon bats, rats, or spiders.
With Vomit Swarm, Spiders, Wasps, or Army Ants depending on level.There is also Inscect Plague, Creeping Doom, Mad Monkeys, Rain of Frogs, Cape of Wasps, and Swarm Skin
so the best choice for specialize in swarm is Master Summoner...
so druid.. have you some advice on how focus on summonings, what races fit better, straight druid or archetype? (if it's necessary i will open a thread for build this druid)
what?

Swamp druid is thematic, and gives you DR vs swarms if yo loose control of it for any reason.
As for feats, Augment Summoning is good, Moonlight & Starlight Summons for overcoming DR, If you are a Half Orc, Ferocious Summons will let swarms last longer as they keep going until -con instead of disappearing at 0hp.
Master summoner doesn't really have anything for this other than the free Augment Summoning feat. They can't use their summon monster spell-like ability to summon swarms unless they appear on some variant summon monster spell list somewhere.
Better off with druid or witch, with vermin bloodline sorcerer a distant third.

Oh, niiiice.
Too bad skeleton summoner only works on summon monster spells. Summoning a pack of ferocious skeletal monkeys would be pretty amazing. (Think the jungle pygmies from The Mummy Returns.)
can be Vomit Swarm affected by Summons Feats?
so as a witch i can take summoning feats too... so i'm wondering why druid is better for summon swarms??
understood :) thank you-!
Imma just throw this out there:
Swarm fighting gets REALLY funny when you have a Barb in the party with the Hive Totems. He is now a terrifying raging barbarian coated in swarms that seem to be ignoring him.
