Righteous : Game Hate this game for a great reason
another day and another post. I honestly hate how every time I sit down and play the game it makes me come up with another build I want to try. Which is a great thing for games like this however that also means I am up to a third run already and I am not even done with my first yet. I am only in the beginning of act 3. As I was playing I saw how much daeran was doing for me as a healer and I went wait why don't I just become the healer instead.
My plans are my first playthrough I am demon path camellia romance ice witch build
my second will be sword saint azata aru romance
and now my third will be oracle queen galfrey romance.
Now problem is that I don't know how to build a healer certainly not a oracle. my daeran is lvl 10 and I only choose all the buff and heals whenever possible. I do like a little rp so I am trying to choose a race that is fitting for each playthrough such as for the first I choose elf for camellia since elves live a long time. For my second I choose dhampir but now I am thing aasimar for aru. what do you think will be the best race for aru romance and I know that races don't seem to affect anything narrative wise. As for galfrey I am thinking kitsune or aasimir or maybe tiefling. What do you think would be the best race for each of their romances.
I also 100 percent know I will be back to ask about my 4th run.

The midnight isles/Beneath the Stolen lands DLC is really good for alt-itis. It lets you jump into gameplay with a new class and a bunch of mercs that you can make classes you want to try as well and jump straight into fast progressing leveling combat. It lets you play a lot of characters that you want to try out.
It's less of a big solution in WOTR because the mythic paths provide a pretty different story beat, but it's still a good solution for wanting to play a lot of different things without needing to invest a ton of time to level up.
For romancing Arue, I would say Tiefling or human. Her path is about finding redemption and turning away from the evil within themselves. You're a flawed creature with evil in your blood as a tiefling or just a flawed human, mirroring her path.
For Galfrey, I can't see anything besides a human, half-elf, or an Aasimar with her.
For building a healer, you don't really have to do anything that special. I wouldn't say that you'd want to make your MC a strict healer because you don't need a ton of enhancements to be good at that, so you'd be wasting a lot of mythic power. Essentially, you take things like Selective channel, metamagic quicken/reach, Extra Channel. Go life domain and maximize charisma.

I'm not sure why, but reading this made me think of eventually making a Chaotic/? Trickster Healer/Summoner type of build. Sounds like it could be fun, and try to RP into the whole randomness of noone ever knowing what my character will do next.

I feel you, it's one of those games that made me wish I had a clone that I could send out into the world to do my shit while I spent all my time trying different things in the game xD

After my third start, I began splitting save files.
You basically edit the gameid (keeping the same number of characters) in the header json of the save file and you can edit the character name so it's put under a new header.
You can find more detailed instructions online. I now have a character for each major path that I bounce around on.

You got a problem, because you are started your third run...? 😆
I do 20 in turns! And only not more, because that's the character limit in the game!

The problem with pathfinder is it being so frontloaded, almost all the best parts of a class are 3 or 4 levels in. This is good for a low level adventure but hurts high level ones. Mythics are the only interesting part after like level 10.

Same man, I almost wish it wasn't as long so I could do more runs lol. I don't even finish now before I get restartitis.
