I am playing in a RotRL game and it's rough. My character just hit 4th level and is finally going to start to shine a little bit. I'm looking for ideas on a direction to go from here.
He is: Human Fighter(Weapon Master)2 Magus(Eldritch Archer)2.
Feats: Point Blank Shot, Deadly Aim, Precise Shot, Focused shot and Reach Spell.
The idea is to fire shocking grasps at enemies.
All Paizo material is open, 3.5 and other OGL is open on a case by case basis. No mythic, no Words of Power.

Magus works better without the fighter dip, so I'd recommend retraining out of that.
Also, for an Eldritch Archer it's better to use ranged spells that aren't attached to an arrow; just fire a bunch of arrows and follow up with (e.g.) Grease or Glitterdust.
I'm going to agree with Kurald - in general, don't multi-class casters. There are a few exceptions (a blaster-focused wizard taking a single level of cross-blooded sorcerer, for instance isn't a terrible way to go if you want to blast and don't like kineticist) but in general, you don't get as much in exchange for reducing your spellcasting abilities.
Instead of actually taking levels of fighter, use variant Multiclassing. The Martial Focus feat gives you access to Advanced Weapon Training (even though you qualify for it anyway at 10th) but there's a combo with Gloves Of Dueling and the Weapon Specialist AWT option gives you the Weapon Focus/ Specialization feats.
I had a build that took 8 levels of Eldritch Archer, two levels of Arcane Archer, then the 9th and 10th levels of Magus, followed up by the remaining levels in Eldritch Knight. With the aforementioned Gloves combo, you gain back all the feats you lose and get Armor Training to help your high Dex.
The archetype is awesome and you make sure you take Magical Knack.
