Ok, let's try another build. This one goes in for a bit more in the way of defenses(save type), but without giving up offense. AC is nothing to write home about, but it should suffice against lackeys. It assumes 880000 GP WBL.
Stats are taking into account deadly aim, rapid shot, point blank shot, and haste from the boots. Maybe I'll get bored enough to do some DPR calculations.

Wayfinder (1 @ 0 lbs) A small magical device patterned off ancient relics of the Azlanti, a wayfinder is typically made from silver and bears gold accents. With a command word, you can use a wayfinder to shine (as the light spell). The wayfinder also acts as a nonmagical (magnetic) compass, granting you a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost. All wayfinders include a small indentation designed to hold a single ioun stone. An ioun stone slotted in this manner grants you its normal benefits (as if it were orbiting your head), but frequently reveals entirely new powers due to the magic of the wayfinder itself (see Seeker of Secrets page 51).

My DPR calc says this has a DPR of 294. Not quite enough to kill a Pit Fiend in a round.
Yes, I'm a slacker.
Akerlof, I looked in the the Seeker of Secretes and the ioun stone wayfinder combo gives a re-roll and a +2 moral bonus, not immunity. I admit this is a great purchase and I'll be getting one asap.
Clear spindle: Protection from possession and mental
control (as protection from evil).
"....the subject immediately receives another saving throw (if one was allowed to begin with) against any spells or effects that possess or exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment [charm] effects and enchantment [compulsion] effects, such as charm person, command, and dominate person). This saving throw is made with a +2 morale bonus, using the same DC as the original effect."

Actually the key line is the one you left out:
While under the effects of this spell, the target is immune to any new attempts to possess or exercise mental control over the target.
While the spell does affect you as stated above if cast after being affected by a compulsion spell, by having the ioun stone in the wayfinder you start out effectively with it cast (all the time). Hence the relevant rules is for when you are under the effects of the spell.
Hence you end up immune to compulsion type spells while using that combo (though only from evil sources which is a recent clarification to the FAQ).
SNAP!
Ah, I see wise rules master!
