Building a buffer


Classes


Looking over PF2's classes I'm having a difficult time seeing if a buffer build is possible outside of bard's inspire courage, heroism, and bless. Are there some gems for buffing that I'm just missing?


I think just self buffs via defensive spells (blur, mirror image, etc.) and polymorphs. Since everything is a conditional bonus extra offensive buffs wouldn't do that much. You can't increase attributes.

You can still cast invisibility on the rogue, I guess.

E: Stoneskin can be cast on another creature. There might be other defensive/utility spells that qualify as buffs even though they don't give numeric attack bonuses.


I was underwhelmed with what happened to buffs as well.

Haste was gutted and Good Hope is gone.


Bard is quite awesome actually.

As for gems, low levels, magic weapon is the bomb.
