So, me and my friend are playing PFS together, and we want to play characters that go together. He wants to play an Arcanist, possibly a blackblade. I will pretty much play anything other than a sorcerer, because I don't really like that play style (though Oracle is okay). He can play something else, but he really likes Arcanist. What pairs well with that, both thematically and power-wise? Thanks.

Just for reference, in PFS, as an arcanist he'll never actually be able to hit anything with the blackblade if he takes it.
It's a great flavor concept, but PFS is less flavor friendly especially with the APL +3-4 season 6 games, meaning a low BAB character with low HP will be majorly disadvantaged in melee.
Other than that, a martial type would complement the arcane caster, I'm a big fan of the Warpriest, the Brawler, and Hunter to give you both a meatshield.
Yeah, I'm going to try to convince him not to be a blackblade, but that makes you either crap or MAD, so... What about a druid? I like Hunter, but I think I like Druid more, just because I'm more familiar with it.

Druid is always strong, frankly there is nothing else to say about them. Too bad that I heard PFS doesn't allow the animal soul feat.
That's a shame. But if I build something of a "warrior" druid (protector of the forest style crap) that's two meatsheilds for my arcanist buddy.
Right now, we're a sorcerer cavalier combo, but I'm too far ahead of him, and I'm gettin' sick of not being able to do higher tier games. I've been wanting to make a druid, so this might be my chance.
