maybe, but for tryhard games you’d make a tryhard character anyway
That’s the thing though
I have no idea how.
Since PF2 came out I got by just fine on making unique and fun but entirely unoptimised characters. So I never bothered learning what synergises with what to make a tryhard character.
oh well you’d just have to play a bunch of characters and see what is strongest
or watch videos about optimizing characters. there are a bunch of those (a couple of youtube channels i’d recommend for that are swingripper and mathfinder)
I got a buddy that rolls randomly for all of those, only rerolling if they gets a combination they already used
the fun thing is, you could literally just do everything completely randomly and your build will still be good
I wouldn’t know
I make all my choices based on sheer Rule of Cool-ness – I start with a vibe and build for that.
BUT. None of my GMs are tryhards, so maybe if I brought my characters to a tryhard session they’d get wiped.
honestly choosing the coolest thing every time is probably the best way to build a character

Eh, there’s at least 1 exception: toxicologist alchemist. Especially if you’re about to play Abomination vaults
hmm why is that?
Lots of creature types are immune to poison, such as undead and automatons. And there’s a lot of undead in the Abomination Vaults campaign.
Plus, there’s a lot of poisons that are very underwhelming. Especially ones that have an onset period; those are essentially useless in combat
Toxicology got some buffs in the remaster that let them morph poison damage to acid if its favorable, iirc
