I'm assuming its mostly because its a newer class, but their doesn't seem to be many places to find on how to build a good slayer.
Been through the d20PFSRD, Pathfinder Reference Document, and a blog called RPG BOT providing some methods and references to help build a good Slayer, but haven't found much else.
Anyone else find good places to look up such information?
At the top of this forum there's a stickied thread named 'Guide to the Class Guides'. The last page on that should have at least one post with a bunch of links to class guides.
I'm personally of the opinion that you select concept or build direction first, then pick a class to fit, but YMMV.
I love slayers for Killing flourish and Gruesome Slaughter. Swift action 30' radius intimidate and sicken? for -4 to most things to all enemies? That's awesome. Plus single target bonuses that scale attack, damage, and several important skill checks, including some social ones.
See also: Shifting Jerkin (Awesome), Bloodstained Gloves, Headsmans Blade, Focused Target Feat, Seething Hatred + Extreme Prejudice if you are doing a "themed" campaign with known enemies (undead, giants, dragons, etc), Lenses of the Predators Gaze... With all of the above you can make an AMAZING martial character with good skills. Only lack is spell completion, but I personally favor 1 level dips in Cleric/Shaman/Oracle with Magical Knack to get to CL 3 for Craft Wondrous..

May I recommend a 1 level dip in warsighted oracle or eldritch scrapper sorcerer. If you use martial flexibility to grab Seething Hatred it's much more powerful and you still get your caster stuff.
Well, to clarify, I already have a slayer PC that I am currently playing in a campaign, and was looking for more information for ways to build him up as I level up. since additional options for feats, talents, archetypes and such are in newer materials that haven't gotten a thorough inclusion on the web. Currently at level 5 as a slayer with some NPC levels adding him up to level 8 (GM wanted to have a slow leveling system where we started with 3 Class levels and 5 NPC levels, and swapped from replacing an NPC level with a class level and adding a class level as normal) and planning ahead to see what avenues I can take up through level 12.
So far all I've seen is that my current archetype of sniper is fairly underwhelming but currently the most logical choice for setting up a slayer that is primarily an archer first, and a melee fighter second. Still, can't argue with firing off 3 arrows a round and getting sneak attack damage at range.
