So I'm building a Shikigami Style brawler, and chose Hinyasi to both get the free feat and to eventually be able to match the damage of a sledge with anything I happen to get my hands on.
I want to trade off Martial Flexibility, and am torn between Snakebite Striker or Feral Striker. Is one choice vastly better than the other? Is there some other second archetype I should be considering instead?
Mutagenic Mauler is a pretty straightforward choice and opens up a full-plate build.
Snakebite Striker is fine, sad part is that Snake Feint is not very useful past level 6 due to being unable to use a move action and flurry.
I'd say Feral Striker is superior to Snakebite because you keep Maneuver Training. Shikigami Versatility gives you the ability to add trip or disarm to weapons, so it seems to me that Maneuver Training is a good thing to have if you pick up some Trip or Disarm feats.
Mutagenic is better if you care more about punching hard.
