Building around Magic Misslie


Advice


If i want to build around MM what of the caater classes would be best. What one would allow me to bring some versatility with the spell the best

I don't plan to only use that spell but it would be my main spell ..
My go to for combat

I'd like to realy on the fact that for the most part the spell doesn't miss so I'd like to take meta magic feats that would add effects to the misses like tripping or dazing a foe etc etc .

Try the build outlined here: https://paizo.com/threads/rzs43jrs?Looking-to-maximize-a-no-3rd-party-arcan ist#3


building a specialized blaster can be effective but MagMssl is a low damage (usually) single target spell for living (non-arcane caster) targets. AoE evocations OR Ranged touch/touch/rays tend to be the metamagic focus of most blaster builds.

The classic - and classically annoying - dazing build is:

Traits
Magical Lineage (magic missile)
Wayang Spellhunter (magic missile)

Feats
Spell Focus (evocation)
Spell Specialization (magic missile)
Dazing Spell

A Human wizard, or an elf with the Overwhelming Magic alternate racial trait, can pull this off by 3rd level. 3 different targets, save or be dazed.

Not a build, but some options of note.

Because of the vulnerability of MM to the shield spell, it can be worthwhile to develop a decent dispel magic capability along with it.

Wizard has arcane discovery staff-like wand allows you to buy/create a wand of magic missile and use your caster level.

Psychic has the phrenic amplification Focused force that increases damage due by one step. (d4->d6)

Arcanist (or exploiter wizard) has the exploit Potent magic to increase CL by 2.

Arcane trickster PrC can eventually (at level 10) add sneak attack damage to one MM against a flat-footed target.


@ Taja the Barbarian that dose not seem half bad
Getting my caster level up wouod be a good thing I think

@ Azothath ya I figured I'd want a few spells with Power behind them
I just want MM to be my bread and butter

@ Belafon Ya that helps out a lot. Seeing what I need feat and trait wise

@ I grok do u dually noted about the dispel
Also all those seem decently fun

I quite like Toppling metamagic with magic missile, gives you a neat battlefield control/ debuff option. One missile per goon and see how many you trip. A lesser rod is cheap too.


Ok so I think I'm go with the build Belafon
Mention.

Going as Human exploiter wizard
Taking the feats Belafon suggested

Could I get feat suggestions for me up to my 7th level?


If GM allows combo of traits wayang spellhunter (magic missile) and magic lineage (magic missile). Go for dazing at level 3, otherwise get toppling level 3 and dazing level 5
Maybe:

Level 1: Spell Focus (evocation), Spell specialization (magic missile), Potent Magic exploit. Magic missile at CL 3 or CL 5 spending arcane point = 2 or 3 missiles.

Level 3: Dazing metamagic

Level 5: Varisian Tattoo (evocation), bonus feat: Toppling, exploit: Metamixing. Magic missile at Cl 8 or Cl 10 spending arcane point = 4 or 5 missiles.

Level 7: Piercing spell metamagic or Bouncing spell metamagic
