I'm building an Occultist for Hell's Vengeance to replace my Oracle. Long story short, my character was recruited by the other side, I was working to subvert the party's goals (DM's idea), and I was doing a fairly good job of it when another layer (who had no idea what was going on) decided to betray the entire party. It ended up with that character, and another's, death and our goals dismantled. My character left to go join the Glorious Reclamation in another area (and will show up later as an enemy to the new party) and three of us have to make new level 4 characters.
Party composition is as follows:
Drow Unchained Rogue (the one original character survived unscathed)
Human Unchained Monk
Half-orc Goliath Druid
Half-elf (drow-descended) Occultist/VMC Magus (this is me)
I'm planning on serving in the support role. I am good at it, though I am not going to focus on healing quite so much. The DM asked me to tone it down a bit away from the table because I was too good at it. I will still be able to heal (druid can too) but I'd rather help buff for combat than sling spells from the back row.
I plan on focusing on Abjuration, Transmutation, and Conjuration implements, though I will dip for Necromancy (for Shroud power that gives temp HP) and Evocation eventually (when Spellstrike comes online). I took Haunt Collector to get rid of some of the weak-sauce resonant powers that would do nothing for me. I plan on being an item crafter, with little to no actual combat related feats.
