Psychic Assassin (PFS)

[Poison Dusk]

Working on a couple builds for an assassin type character that uses psychic spells to buff himself. Below are outlines of the two. I will take suggestions for other classes as well.

Mindblade Magus:

Human - Dual Talent
Lvl 1 Lvl 12
Str: 13+2 ------ 18
Dex: 14 ------ 14
Con: 12 ------ 12
Int: 16+2 ------ 18
Wis: 10 ------ 10
Cha: 10 ------ 10
Traits:Wary of Danger, Bandit (Stealth)

1: Extra Arcane Pool
3: Arcane Accuracy, Power Attack
5: Furious Focus, ?
6: Arcane Cloak
7: ?
9: Hasted Assault, ?
11: ?, ?
12: Ghost Blade

Vexing Daredevil Mesmerist:

Human - Dual Talent
Lvl 1 Lvl 12
Str: 16+2 ------ 20
Dex: 13+2 ------ 16
Con: 12 ------ 12
Int: 10 ------ 10
Wis: 10 ------ 10
Cha: 14 ------ 14
Traits: Reactionary, Gifted Adept (Vanish)

1: Extra Mesmerist Tricks, Weapon Proficiency: Nodachi
2: Astounding Avoidance
3: Piercing Strike, Weapon Focus: Nodachi
4: Fleet in Shadows
5: Mesmerizing Feint
6: False Flanker
7: Surprise Strike, Power Attack
8: Fearsome Guise
9: Furious Focus
10: Compel Alacrity
11: Critical Strike, Improved Critical: Nodachi
12: Shadow Blend

As you can see I got much further with the second one. I want something that doesn't rely on sneak attacking, and I own the occult book, so I want to actually use it.

It's kind of hard to choose between the two, but the mesmerist does seem to have more of a psychic assassin vibe to it.
