Let's say you want to play a Gathlain, a Strix or an Aasimar which will later take the Angel Wings feat, what classes (and archetypes) take advantage of the fly speed?
I'm looking for options in any role BTW, so it can be for a warrior, healer or spellcaster. However, I'm having trouble finding stuff about it... considering that winged races weren't the norm at first.
Basically any build that focuses on staying at range, so basically don't do melee combat.
Anything else is up to you. The advantage being that most enemies are also ground based, making it harder for them to damage you.
Outside of that advantage though (which is pretty huge) it doesn't really do anything else.
There's a few archetypes which get minor bonuses when attacking from higher ground (which is a melee thing) but nothing to get excited about. Castellan cavalier for example. Some sort of ranged combatant takes better advantage of the fly speed - it doesn't have to be an archer or blaster, any spellcaster which can operate at better than close range would be fine.
Well, with ranks in fly you can be a storm kindler. A spellcaster that can also turn into a tornado and lift people off the ground trapping them.
We had a strix ranger with maxxed Str, flyby attack, death from above and deadly aim as well as power attack. Essentially a one hit build which worked pretty well with the harpoon from the skullsnshackles ap.
If the group is not melee oriented, this works very well even for spellcasters.
My wife corrected me:
Swashigator or pure alchemist. Maybe even flying Blade. And Hover.
