Plague Doctor

what to do? their recovery is super weak, but i love their passives. which class should i turn them into after maxing to get the most out of their abilities because they do low poision damage and low healing

Recovery is heal plus removing almost all of the debuff and it's AOE, what more can you get in a single healing spell? The low healing amount is what makes it balance. And Plague Doctors are not DPS units, you pick them to apply debuffs on the enemy and for the recovery.

In terms of what to to do next all depends on your goals for that character. Interested in getting Doublecast? Go for Druid (who also has poison, btw...a very nice spell). Want to get abilities to make your mana more efficient? Head toward Warmage and Sorcerer. More interested in buffs? Try Alchemystic. Plenty of caster types which would be good for continuing to improve your magic.

You could also go back to Mender for more healing. You could also go Gadgeteer to have more variety in things to do as you get more gadgets. If you wanted a more offensive Plague Doctor, I would echo Warmage.

Plague Doctors "Treatment" command is an excelent sub command. Its low cost, high utility spells make it great for frontliners that would get some benefit out of a ranged abilities but dont have much magic attack power.

Curing status effects in an AoE, posioning (that does damage based on enemy HP) are handy to have.

I have a Fellblade / Plague Doctor with mystic shield that is great.

I would also recommend a Knight / Plague Doctor. Most of the time you will use melee attacks (defensive hit), or other Chivalry commands, but sometimes you dont need that, and Treatment will have a good substitution.

Try it out, if you like it let us know... can theory craft some great designes!

They have amazing ability to increase MND for themselves and adjacent characters. They also have Weaken which increases the chance of landing debuffs. Plague Doctor abilities make for great support for your other units. Throw on some Weaken and your Reavers and Assassins will really shine. Increasing MND for your Magic attack users really sends their damage over the edge. My Plague Doctor has Alchemystic Abilities, he is a complete support unit and my team loves him for allowing them to accel at what they already do well.
