Well, Valerie is not a purely dumbass hiding behind her shield, I gave her 4 levels of thug for dazzling display and debilitating injury. I also have Crane style for the +1 AC. As it stands Valerie is an okay damage dealer, whenever Amiri died, Valerie could pick up the slack so it's all good. But yeah, my ultimate goal with her is to go into Stalwart Defender and be mainly a sword and shield type character.Agreed with the posters above. Amiri looks impressive initially (is she Minsk? can she tank?!) but, no, that's not happening, and I don't know if you should attempt to make that happen. She is a good damage dealer, though, and if you take her through a particular build you can get her a pet that will do the tanking for her. That is, however, virtually useless if you have a proper aggro sponge in your gang - and you better have, so you should focus your dips on damage instead. Build off strengths and everything will be fine, the Pathfinder motto.
Just make sure you're not building Valerie into a blind dumbass hiding behind the shield like a child pulling up the blanket above their face. No good damage from the tank - enemies lose aggro and focus on someone else - Amiri or whoever you have as your frontline damage dealer melts to death.
Also what's that particular build for Amiri? I'm guessing I switch to Ranger and basically stay there because that's how her animal companion levels along with her. I already reached lvl 6 Barbarian with her though, took the Beast Totem feats.
Anyhow, thanks for the replies, I guess it looks about time to start only using Amiri for her companion quest, nothing more. She was useful for the first part of the game, but I guess her usefulness has come to an end. I've been thinking that maybe Regongar could have her role as a front-line damage dealer since he can also use his spells to buff himself up before fights
