Ancient Loremaster Oracle Debuff Build Progression


Advice


Hello all, I am playing this character in a game, and am wondering about how to best go about the concept I have in mind for him.

If you click on his picture, you can see all his stats, and in the statbar, there is a link to his full character sheet in the google docs.

He is a human Ancient Loremaster Oracle, and I am eventually planning on picking up the Eldritch Heritage feats, to grant him a familiar, and extra arcane spells.

I want to build him primarily as a debuffer, and do it well. I would also like him to be able to participate in combat and at least do 'tank damage' if possible. I know that there are a good amount of personal buff spells I could use should the need arise. (I have always tantalized over a sor build focusing on casting Enervate as many times possible in a day, and I can sort of do that here mid levels...)

I know that there are several 'more optimized' options for a debuffer build, but I want to focus on optimizing him within the scope already presented. I also understand that save-or-suck spells have the ingrained possibility of wasting action economy, so we don't have to discuss opinions concerning them here, unless we are comparing different SoS spells.

Right now he is a 3 trick pony tactically:
-Debuff: Bane into Cause Fear
-Heals: CLW in a pinch
-Combat: +1 to hit morningstar, allday.

Main Questions:
-Spells Known: Best divine debuff spells in early/mid levels?
-Is spamming Instrument of Agony potentially effective?
-Ancient Loremaster/EH Arcane Bloodline spells: What are the most worth ones, especially concerning the spell level lag?
-Is there a better EH bloodline for a debuff build that I'm overlooking? I was planning on getting the Improved familiar feat...
-Best Improved Familiar for debuff builds? (He is currently CG...)


Improved Eldritch Heritage wont work to give you arcane spells post FAQ.

The Exchange

Murderous command has funny results and isn't even language dependent. At lv 2 spells you get burst of radiance and sound burst, instrument of agony is also fair amusing. 3..archons aura(but its lawful, dunno if you can cast it). 4. Terrible remorse.

Generally most oracle do nasty stuff to others involves will saves.

Ancient lorekeeper is elf/half elf only unless racial heritage works.

Ancient lorekeeper adds the spell 1 lv above too.

There's always weapon focus and dazzling display, you certainly have the cha to make it happen.
