Mathfinder's Blaster Caster RUBRIC - Pathfinder 2E Blasters Part 1
Blaster casters are... contentious. There is this notion that spellcasters can't really do single target damage. Plenty of people who think spellcasters are good in EVERY other regard will still say single target damage ain't it.
Back in 2019, this was true. As time has gone on, Paizo really has put in effort into making blasters good. With Rage of Elements and the Remaster, I think blasters are overall in a very good place, but the advice has not kept up. Let's fix that!
Today's video is part 1 of a 3-parter. Today we will establish metrics by which I like to evaluate my blasters, and in the following 2 videos we will be using these metrics to evaluate the various blasters in the game.
