I just hit level 5 with my PFS Wayang Puppetmaster Magus.
I went for a Dex based Scimitar build.
So far, it's been fun. I do a lot with a semi-permanent minor image of a Wayang rogue. An ideal round goes something like "rogue illusion attacks, enemy fails save, cast Deja Vu as a swift, then Color Spray, 5' step, and stab." Melee damage isn't great, but I don't see a good way to really improve that.
I'm not really excited about Magus 5, even though it gets a Combat or metamagic feat. So I'm looking at taking a 1 level dip into a an Int based class.
I'm thinking:
Foresight Wizard for Spell Focus, some pre-rolls, init bonus and surprise rounds.
Occultist. I'm not sure what I want with a 1 level dip other than Transmutation. Conjuration for 1 minute summons seems good, a ton of Augaries would be amusing, or possibly the puppet temporary familiar from Necormancy.
Anyone have experience or advice for a 1 level int based dipped to help out a caster?
