[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8178190, member: 7023887"] I agree. They're actually a "Jack of All Trades" class, as they get to prepare their spells and have a vast range of abilities that they can get from their spells (healing, revivification, damage, battlefield control, summoning, utility, etc). They are also very versatile with changing their infusions, just needing to take a long rest to switch out their paladin's +1 Longsword with a Replicate Prosthetic Limb or some other infusion they have known. It's a very versatile class. They may not be the best damage dealers, but they're pretty good at it if they need to be (Armorers, Battle Smiths, Artillerists). They might not be the best healers, but they can be really good at it when they need to (Alchemists, Battle Smiths). They might not be the best tanks, but they again can do a very good job at tanking when needed (Guardian Armorers, Artillerists, Steel Defenders). They're not the best skirmishers, but are good at it when they need to (Invisibility is on their spell list, Infiltrator Armorers, Homunculus Servants, Battle Smiths, etc). They're one of the most versatile classes in the game. They can be a Tank one day and then switch to a Skirmisher the next, then switching to a healer on the next day, and then a frontline fighter on the next. Not many classes can do that, and none of them can as easily as the Artificer can. [/QUOTE]
