If it's allowed, Outlander: Lore Seeker would let you have your SG at +1 CL.
If you're willing to give up Power Attack (or Finesse) and move your Fighter level later in the progression, you could get a head start on the Whip Mastery, which would allow you stay away from the Scorpion Whip (or Whips, depending on if you consider the Armory one to be a different weapon from the UE one)
I just realized i wanted to use finess for combat reflexes and aperently i did'nt fit it in!

litle error need whip focus befor whip mastery!
pleas give me some info on your opinons!!!
i would like to know if this is a viable build and if there are some weaknesses in it
i dont care it to be the most tough i just would like to know hard drawbacks or better cooler alternatives to be a good functioning charachter
my main desire is:
damange burst! (shocking grasp)
trip
aid with spells
but what I think is les important for my charachter is social skils or damage on lesser targets. if there are alot of small mobs i'll probaby be tripping or casting aoe spell's
It looks pretty good. The one thing I'd consider changing is Dodge. Maybe get Empower Spell instead (assuming you have Magical Lineage: Shocking Grasp); until caster level 8, an Empowered Shocking Grasp is more effective than an Intensified one. (And by then you'll have the spell slots to do Empowered Intensified ones anyhow.)
Dodge is a bonus feat from the spire defender
If I were playing a whip magus, I'd be a kensai Strength magus and take Whip Mastery at 3rd level. I'd use a Scorpion Whip at 1st and 2nd level, and switch to a normal whip at 3rd level. This would allow me to two-hand the whip and have some fun with Power Attack, Cleave, and combat maneuvers. Maneuver Magus arcana is a good one too.
You should probably ignore half of what I say Darkflame :) I tend to post while half asleep.
kensai STR is not so good as you cant wear M of H armor
if kensai you need dex to be high for a decent AC i did think about it i just didnt get the feats i needed with spire defender i get 2 of the feats i need to be efective if you can show me a list how to to it better pleas show me
