Greetings fellow member of this awesome community!
TL/DR: Looking into 3 free archetypes and need help choosing which one.
I am currently playing a Druid in a Pathfinder 2e game and I seek your guidance and wisdom to help me make my decision about the free archetype I am given at level 2.
I have started as a Leaf Druid to get the delicious Goodberries, the Leshy Familiar and an additional Focus point, although I have my eyes set on Wild Shape, which I am getting with my level up with Order Explorer (I will see how it goes and either keep focusing on the wild forms or the support of the leaf order).
Now level 2, I have to choose my Free Archetype (allowed by the DM to add flavor to characters). Here's my three contenders:
Familiar Master Dedication -> Better familiar = more utility - I mostly use mine passively because of its squishy-ness; I'm using Burrow to keep it out of harm's way and the refocus for an extra berry
Beastmaster Dedication -> I like having companions at my control. Although I intend to focus more on my character development than on my animal companion during level ups. Regardless of its efficiency, I love the RP aspect of it.
Herbalist Dedication -> Would work well with a better familiar, but surely brings more utility for the whole team, such as healing that I need not dispense.
What would you choose and why?
Extra info: My character is in a party of four (Druid, Champion, Rogue, Bard)
