I have two potential builds here that I was thinking of. The straight mesmerist is a better spell caster (can effect mindless things with his spells and what not). The vexxing devil mesmerist is a better m'elee-ist' and has a much better feat allocation (but gives up some early tricks and abilities to remove fear type conditions that might impact my psychic spell casting due to emotional effects). Any advice on which one you think would play better and or feat progressions?
