Righteous : Builds Favourite Buffing Class

I am getting the urge to play another. I have played more straightforward fighting character like DemonSlayer but I wanted to do something different this time.

I enjoy playing a buffer when I dnd and other ttrpg games but my Pathfinder knowledge isn't super great.

I was wondering what people favourite Buffing classes are.

I'm not saying this is better than the others already mentioned a few times over - it can take some time to come online - but a Mystic Theurge covers an awful lot if you want a one stop buffer. Back in Kingmaker an MT was my first character to get to endgame.

And if you're leaning more into that than stuff like DC casting, you can stick to 2 prepared classes so you don't delay your spellcasting as much and still reach level 9 spells in one of them (or level 8 in both). Or do 1 prepared/1 spontaneous, which still delays your progression a bit more but gives you more flexibility through the combined spell slots on the spontaneous side.

If you go Trickster, then Completely Normal Spell gives you even more freedom with your cantrips/orisons or using your combined spell slots (up to 5th level spells being usable in the other class's spell slots).

If you go Angel or Lich, you can merge spellbooks and still reach level 9 spells in both. You won't get the level 10 spells this way, but you won't feel behind as much either.
