sorcerer vs oracle as support blaster with pet


Advice


option 1 :
blacked hand and minor lame, dual curse + spirit oracle :
(DM allow both although they alter skills)
Nature revelation & fire spirit , scorching ray from curse.
the Wolf will "tank-dps" and later levels will serve as a mount with air walk.
i cast , heal, support and buff.
pet will have INT of 6 and the best saves EVER (cha to saves).

option 2:
sorcerer , sylvan & cross blooded :
the other bloodline will be shadow (hide in plain sight is amazing) or draconic (bonus) or arcane (good buffs).
buff the party , blast with a strong pet that is well defended.
pet can be a flyer from level 1.

option 3: Cleric : 3 options here :
Ecclesitheurge (no armor, but d8 and good saves. fire as main, feather as sub, trade it's spells for heroism).
Evangelist (bard boost is great, domian = heroism, spend 3 feats for the animal companion.).
Theosophist : again, lower defene but 3 domains : ash, heroism and feather.
PRO : better saves.


Depends on what you mean by "support blaster."

Blaster in PF is really a pretty dedicated build to be worth while. You need to get your DC's pretty high, take the feats to change energy types as needed, feats to up the damage maximum, feats for additional effects, penetrate SR, etc... They generally don't have the feats or spells known left over for things like support, healing, and/or pets.

Now if you mean you are mostly a support caster with the ability to through the occasional offensive spell, that is completely different. Any of your build above will work quite well. Though you may want to consider some offensive spells other than blasts. Grease, glittering dust, create pit, touch of idiocy, waves of fatigue, chain of perdition, pilfering hand, etc... can all be lots of help and fun even without all the feats required for a super powered blast.

For blasts you may want to consider the no save ray spells like acid arrow and scorching ray. In which case you may want point blank and precise shot.


i mean blast when you can, but vs some foes like demons it mean less. high SR or resistance.
than > plan B comes in and support.

elemental is also rally nice to change element at will
.
but the armor + full super mount + d8 hp.... oracle have their pluses.


Well if blasting is going to be the primary, then it will probably get the best results with the sorc. The divine list just doesn't have all that many decent blast spells on it. Even with the mystery or domain, there just isn't that much to choose from.

I would not go crossblooded though. Since you want to have a secondary of support you will need more, not less spells known.


Since Sylvan is an archetype of the fey bloodline, it technically cannot work with crossblooded.
