Having issues deciding on what to play. Group need a skill monkey but not a complete skill monkey (skills can just be covered with traits). One dude says he wants to be my flanking partner before I'm even working on a character O.o
So I'm wondering if doing an Ascetic Style Brawler using Cestus or Fighter dual-weilding cestus and using Advanced Armor and Weapon Training options for a good Will save to be similar to the Brawler but will have more AC, damage, and the previously mentioned better Will save, however I'd have to wait 6+ levels for those merits to even activate.
On the other hand I am considering a Rogue of some sort, Sanctified Slayer plus Infiltrator Archetype Inquisitor, or straight forward Slayer, any of the previous being beefed up to handle heavy armor.
My only other idea was an Urban Barbarian for just giggles.
I want to know if anyone here has experience with these options/combos, how did games using them go, which of these options would you choose and why?
Investigator's not a bad choice and they can be beastly in combat if played/built right.

I was considering that but I don't like prepared casting at all. It just feels straight up anxiety inducing to me.
Considered an occultist (battle host or otherwise)? Build for melee combat and you're a STR/INT character (and you have a class feature that will give you a bunch more STR) who should have more than enough skill points and you have a limited selection of spells, but you're a spontaneous caster.

I'll see about learning them.

This screams Inquisitor to me; if you have a teammate excited to have you as his flanking partner, Inquisitor can happily fit the bill with Solo Tactics and Teamwork feats pulling a lot of extra weight.
What about a bard? You would get 6 skill ranks/level, Bardic Knowledge, Versatile Performance, and spontaneous casting.
Got a bard in the party already. I might go Skald so i can get in the thick of it and sing the battle songs like this dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV_IP4mNJCI
