I forgot about the occultist so had to change the title to make this clearer. I'll have to find out if there is a way to delete the old post. Anyways here is the copy and paste of the old post:
Hey everyone was helping a friend and this is what we came up with for a occultist, was curious if we were missing something. Also needed a rule clarification: does Eldritch heritage give you the bloodline arcana? In this case would his summons get the dr? He already has gear not sure what it is atm. Here is the character:

Eldritch heritage does not give you the bloodline arcana. There is an arcanist archetype which does, the blood arcanist, but it isn't compatible with occultist (& occultist is better for a summoner.)
As such, I'd recommend against EH (abyssal) for this character, you have no real use for those claws.
Unless I'm not seeing it, you are missing one of the primary reasons to be an arcanist: Quick Study. This exploit lets you pull the exact spell you need from your spellbook into your prepared spells in just six seconds. This is ridiculously powerful, both in and out of combat. You can pull out the silver bullet for a tricky encounter, or whip out a very situational spell to overcome a puzzle or obstacle.
Also, remember you can use feats to get extra exploits, which are often more powerful than feats (looking at you Skill Focus: Planes). Dimensional Step will save your life if you get caught in a bad position. Counterspell and Greater Counterspell can ruin an enemy caster's day. Potent Magic gives you a +2 to spell level or DC, which are hard bonuses to come by honestly.
Take a good look at the exploits, and make sure any feat you take is giving you as much value as simply taking another exploit.
The skill focus was a pre-req for eldritch heritage but since it doesnt do what's expected probably better to ditch both. Also the campaign is pretty time sensitive so probably need to ditch craft scroll. Seeing what quick study can do I agree. Thinking maybe evolved summoned monster, quick study and extra reservoir (keep consume magic item?) Also the exploits are very nice but needing the arcane points kinda hurts when the main ability uses so much of it
If you ditch craft scroll I wouldn't take consume magic item. Throwing down 150g per extra arcane point is going to add up. Just rely on consuming your low level spells.
Extra Reservoir is very poorly worded, so if your GM is a rules lawyer that may be an issue (to be worth taking it should give you three more points at the start of the day, not just three max).
Evolve Summon Monster is a beast. So much so that you will have to restrain yourself from abusing the hell out of it. Take it as many times as your conscience and/or GM allows.
Based on the errata just released, you may want to reevaluate some choices. Consume Magic Items and Consume Spells got nerfed hard, and now you're only able to use each as many times per day as you have Cha score. That hits the occultist 'very' hard.
