Character Optimaztion (Pathfinder)

[DyzonII]

I have recently got into another Pathfinder campaign/mod - "Carrion Crown." My GM has agreed that he's going to continue the group after the mod is finished levels 15 - 16 is the prospected finish... I have lost a few characters in the campaign, Magus 1-4 then a Wizard 5-7 thus far. I have played them a bit to...greedy :smallamused: but my main forte is melee/tank/dps archer...thus ALL fighter types :smallsmile: and due to me telling my GM that if I lost more then 2 pcs that I'd mid max my 3rd (note: I was play testing a the Magus and an archetype of the Wizard - "Spellslinger" both had its perks, but in a VERY high intelligent encounter sets both way to squishy.) So my question here is I'm in need of some advice about my MM (Mid Max) Fighter....
