[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5758880, member: 6673727"] Personally, I tend to prefer base classes that can be taken in a lot of different directions (having a variety of mechanically viable and flavorful archetypes helps - one of the real achievements of Pathfinder IMO) - I've played the alchemist the most for this reason, and like it a lot, and I've spent a lot of time chewing over builds for monks (especially since Ultimate Combat). Lately, the magus has given me a lot of food for thought for this reason (Hexcrafter vs Standard Magus, for instance, make for completely different builds). Summoners are also good for this (standard vs Master Summoner vs Synthesist). So if I had to pick, I'd probably choose the alchemist, for the variety of builds it can accommodate (melee tank vs battlefield control vs switch hitter), but I can see other classes possibly taking its place as I gain more experience with them (thanks to style feats, monks can do a lot of interesting things, now, and I'm yet to play a druid, which can also go a few ways).
