What class makes the most sense for a warrior that mainly buffs himself and his weapon? The three most obvious choices are Magus, Paladin, and War Priest.
Spell Warrior Skald could fit.
Totally the Magus hes awesome at buffing up and melee attacking. Plus he is one of the best single target DPRs in the game. Look at the magus guide found in these forums for more details.
I have a 12th lvl Magus and this is what I do in a round
1st cast intensified shocking grasp-this causes me to make a free attack with my weapon
then you do the rest of your full attack if any of those crit I cast another intensified shocking grasp which gives me another free attack
use Dervish Dance+ improved crit so you have 15-20 crit threat range and chances are your gona be casting 2 spells and four attacks = tons of damage.
Plus you can buff up your blade and if you take the right insight you are using a brilliant energy weapon too.
Alright, thank you.
I've always felt Archaeologist Bard made a great self buffer.
