I'm making a warsighted, dual cursed lunar oracle for an upcoming campaign (War for the Crown) and I need some help figuring out what feats and revelations I should get for him at the mid levels.
From Warsighted archetype I gain martial flexibility and I plan on flexing to dedicated adversary a bunch to get that sweet +2 to hit and damage. Also plan on using Fates Favored and divine favor to boost attack and damage to make up for subpar strength.
Starting at lv2 with 650 starting gold. Campaign is likely to take us to 12ish. Could actually use help with starting equipment too, now that I think about it.
Currently this is the build:
Tiberius
Half-Orc Warsighted, Dual-Cursed Lunar Oracle
Curses: Possessed (progresses), Tongues (does not progress)
Traits: Fates Favored, Child of Two Peoples
Str 14
Dex 10
Con 14
Int 10
Wis 10
Cha 16+2
Feats:
1) Noble Scion of War
3) Extra Revelation: Prophetic armor
5) Power Attack
Revelations
1,7, 11, 15: Martial Flexibility
3: Primal Companion (Tiger)
5: Misfortune
I gain an additional revelation at 13 if we ever make it there, but as for my build I'm not sure what feats I should consider. I have martial flexibility for combat feats and weapon familiarity with greataxes and falchions, which are decent weapons. What should my standard weapon of choice be?
My plan for the character is to be fairly versatile in combat. We have a dedicated frontliner in the party and my animal companion, but I want to keep the others who are more squishy safe if need be. At early levels I'm planning on crowd control at range with barbed chains and melee with shield of faith and divine favor, and using cure spells on an as needed basis. Using my favored class bonus I'll be learning status removal spells too.
Until I hit level 3 and I get prophetic armor I'm sticking with a Morningstar, a heavy shield and scale male. Once I'm 3rd and get cha to AC, I might switch to light armor (or maybe breastplate?) And go 2h weapon from then on.
Any help with feat suggestions or other critiques for my build are welcome!
A falchion is the better weapon than a greataxe both for consistent damage and for crits. Unless you're executing enemies you've cast hold person on anyway. I'd probably get a chain shirt or leather lamellar rather than scale mail because 1 AC for -10 speed is not worth it IMO. Once you get prophetic armor you're going to need a chain shirt for the max dex (max cha in your case) and later it'll need to be a mithral chain shirt too.
You don't have a lot to build on with martial flexibility so far. Dedicated adversary is fine, and power attack gives you some options but you'll want at least one more from dirty fighting, improved unarmed strike or weapon focus to give you more options. Maybe martial focus or armor focus later on for the same reason.
Edit: also, remember to have a sling or javelins in case you need a missile weapon and perhaps a few weapon blanches in case you need to hit something with DR. Maybe a few other alchemical toys.

Scale mail is mostly out of lack of money. At this point I need as much AC as possible since at level 2 I am dex-based for AC. Once I get Prophetic Armor, it does look like going Light armor is the best way to go. Eventually a Mithral chain shirt will be needed.
I doubt I'll ever really be focusing on combat maneuvers, especially when I have spells like Barbed Chains that can do more.
I'm not sure of any feat chains this character would be interested in, martially. Things like cleave, grapple, and vital strike are situational and would make for good use of martial flexibility if they do come up. By level 7 I can flex into Dirty Fighting and any combat maneuver I want if for whatever reason I do want a maneuver (Our frontliner is a primalist bloodrager who will be taking the Savage Dirty Trick rage power and probably Kitsune Tricks too- stacking on a bunch of conditions with a single standard action)
After looking through feats, I think I'm really just planning on utilizing Martial Flexibility to stack on damage. Dedicated Adversary is crazy with Martial Flex, and at level 8 I can tack on Hammer the Gap. Other than that, just flex into the situational stuff.
