Whenever new classes get added to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, one question that quickly gets raised is "will this be supported?"
It takes time for a new class to have anywhere near as many options as things from the core rulebook and APG, or course. In the case of the material from the Advanced Class Guide, Rogue Genius Games has been releasing books to help expand what kinds of things you can do with hybrid classes.
Advanced Options: Arcanist Exploits
The arcanist combines elements of the two ultimate arcane spellcasters: sorcerer and wizard. Advanced Options: Arcanist Exploits offers new exploits appropriate to any arcanist and five arcanist archetypes (the dagger-wielding bloodletter, construct-focused galvanist, monster-emulating thiriomancer, item-focused wandmaster, and abjuring ward weaver) each with its own set of additional exploits appropriate to the archetype's theme!
Magic is power. Exploit it!
Advanced Options: Slayer Talents & Lethalities
The slayer combines elements of the ranger and rogue. Advanced Options: Slayer Talents & Lethalities offers new talents and advanced talents, and an entirely new kind of option for the class, "lethalities"
Advanced Options: Warpriest Blessings
Bless YOU!
Warpriests combine the divine and magical elements of the cleric with the martial prowess of the fighter and can invoke powerful blessings, combat powers granted by their deities and tied to various domains. Advanced Options: Warpriest Blessings provides new blessings based upon the animal and terrain domains, as well as cleric domains from previous Rogue Genius Games releases.
And of course if you want a different way of blending two classes other than using hybrid classes, you can check out the popular and massive Genius Guide to Variant Multiclassing Rules, which allows a character to sacrifice feats for a progression of class features taken from another class, covering all the base and core classes, as well as numerous prestige classes.
Want more support for hybrid classes? What would you like to see Rogue Genius tackle next?
Personally I'd rather see support fore the occult classes before the other hybrid classes.
But for the Hybrids, I agree with Lindley - Brawler. Then Swashbuckler.

We have a ... different ... occult book in the writing stage right now. Something bigger than I would have normally expected to be able tot ackle right now, but things just worked out well.
that said, I can CERTAINLY see doing Occult Options books before we get through all the Hybrid classes.
But for now, it sounds to me like I should get a Brawler book going.
Sure, at some point. But the arcanist is already pretty buff, and we definitely wanted to make sure if we gave them more things, we didn't create an overpowered archetype.
