Favorite spell caster?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Do you like 6th or 9th level casters more?

What is your favorite of each?

Do you not like casters?

More?


If I had to pick one, it would be Wizard. Though I do like most of them. Can't really think of one I don't like.


I think I prefer 6th level casters. More interesting class features, more class features in general.

Favorite 6th is a three-way tie between Inquisitor, Bard and Mesmerist.

Favorite 9th used to be Cleric, but I've drifted towards Druid.

I love casters, but it can also be fun to play a badass normal sometimes.

All of them?

They can all be enjoyable: 9-level casters, 6-level casters, 4-level casters, and even non-casters. I do tend to prefer casters to non-casters and arcane to divine, though.


I prefer 6ths over 9ths.
Inquisitor and Witch
I prefer to play more martially-oriented characters most of the time, but I don't necessarily dislike casters.
Honestly I would almost say there's too many casting classes right now, seeing as we have, what, 36? classes and only 6 of them (I think) are noncasters.


I like bards the most, can easily contribute the most in and out of combat.


9th. Druid.

The druid AC at low levels is basically a fighter. Their spell lists is good without being game breaking.

They are OP by having too many balanced class features. Their AC is slightly worse than a hunter. Their heals are slightly worse than a cleric. Equal utility to both wizard and cleric. Slightly worse blasting than wizard. Slightly worse melee with wild shape than a true martial with minimum investment. You end up with a class that is always good in situations if not the best.

Just a really solid class that can drastically change play styles on the fly.

I'm not sure which I like more over all. I think 6th level casters are more balanced if that's worth anything.

9th Level: Arcanist/Druid. I love the flavor of both, though I think the Druid slightly edges out the Arcanist.

6th Level: Probably have to say the Magus. Though I have a soft spot for the Inquisitor as well.


Bards and alchemist for 6th
Paladins for 4th
Witch by far is my favorite 9th.

Best class to me is Bard.


So many Druid lovers, and some wizard ones too.

Where are all the people who like sorcerer?

Btw my favorite class is wizard.

Edit: Bard, also bard.


Synth summoner or Magus. I love the spell combat mechanic and find it really fun. They have a sweet list as well. Synth summoner on a Samsaran is basically Vegeta so that gets instant approval by me.


Witch


I enjoy most the 6th level casters, Hunter more specifically, if I had to go 9th level caster for some reason I'd go Sorcerer. These days I pretty much always prefer some kind of caster even the 4th level ones.


Druid and Witch, but Druid has the edge, favorite class period.

Liberty's Edge

I prefer 6-level casters, for reasons I've gone into elsewhere.

Of the 6-level casters, Investigator is my current favorite, with Inquisitor and Bard tied for a very close second. That order could change at the drop of a hat.

Of the 9-level casters, Oracle is my favorite hands down, with Witch a somewhat distant second, and the rest well below that.

Of the martial types, Barbarian, Slayer, and Paladin are all near and dear to my heart.


I usually enjoy playing wizards but my current character is a debuff / save-or-lose sorcerer and is an absolute blast to play.
