Advice on Building a Spellslinger

[JuliusCromwell]

OK so I've settled on a character concept

The ever popular Gun-Mage

I know is well know to just take 1 level of spellslinger and then go in to either some to help get in to EK or just go in to another caster class

well I plan to play a Mage who choose to Fire his spells from his gun cause its cool that way.

I want flavor and to be ok to decent at what i do.

I was thinking Spellslinger(1)/Arcainst(6)

I am Not sure if i should Keep the Arcanist plain or take an Arcetype

I am mainly going to be a blaster (yes i know sorcerer are the better blaster, however i am not looking to pull out every point of DMG'

I do plan to be a decent blaster but not the Top Brass

I normally play Very High DPS Type character and am getting a little bored of it

Actually know that i think of it is there a Debuffing Build that can be done with a spellslinger

I like the idea of shooting curse spells and spells that cause penalty to Stats. and other fun stuff

I'm not sure if you can use arcane gun with your other classes but the Myrmidarch magus archetype can be a single class entry into EK. It's possible to take Spellsinger for your first level for firearm proficiency and mage bullets. Though I would just go Half-elf with Ancestral Arms Is there a reason for you wanting to go EK? Full BAB and d10 is usually a good enough reason for me. Eldritch Knight has an empty spell level so if you multiclass at all you will be out 2 caster levels but Magical Knack can help out a little bit or the half-elves multi-disciplined racial trait It's possible to go with both though the effects do not stack.
