Okay! So I have started a game where I play as an bones oracle and I want to become a necromancer focusing on using undead minions. We start at lvl 3 and the more reading I have done it seems to turn out that I will be utterly usless until later lvls. I have no idea what feats, spells or revelations I should take to become effective.

IMPORTANT: This is an evil campaign so I don't have to worry about necromancy and all those things.

This is my character so far.

Race: Dhampir
Lvl: 3
Class: Oracle (bones)
Oracle curse: Haunted
Stats. (I rolled for these)
STR:10
DEX:16
CON:11
INT:11
WIS:10
CHA:16

Feats.
-None chosen-

Spells.
-none chosen beside the ones I already get-

So basicly I need to know how I should build my character and what I should do with it. I want to be optimized to summon minions.

If nothing works I will take dark tapestry instead and scrap the necromancer idea. I also want to know how to optimize this.

Start with the Undead Servitude Revelation (Command Undead feat+Channeling).
Since you start at level 3, let your DM let you start with some controlled minions and/or be able to fight some to gain control over them.
This will give you some minions to work with for a bit.

Other than that, you'll have to focus more on your spells, of which Debuffing is what Necromancy is good at.
Once you hit level 6 and can start Animating Dead, then you'll be good to go.

Okay but could you tell me exactly what spells to take then? Also do you know what feats I should take?

Spells largely depends on if you want to go all-in with Necromancy spells and whatnot. Or just a generally useful set, or whatnot.
Just remember, Oracles get all Cure OR Inflict spells automatically, so you don't have to waste any spells known on those.

Feat-wise, you'll definitely want to pick up Undead Master (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/undead-master) when you can (earliest would be 7th level feat).
Other than that, most of your goodies come from your Mystery, so Extra Revelation can be nice.
And general caster feats are always good too.

Later, you may think about entering the Agent of the Grave (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/a-b/agent-of-the-grave) PrC, it has some solid bonuses as well.

Yeah but what should I take at lower lvls. I can take 2 feats now but I have no freaking idea. I need a feat order thing or something.

I know about that yes but it does not give me the help I need.

Its a bit unrealistic to want random strangers on the internet to build your whole character for you. Start with the guide, pick some feats/spells you really want, and we can help you narrow down and order that smaller list instead of picking from across the entire SRD.

well you see even tho I have looked through the guide pretty much a hundred times I am completely lost on what to do. But Im going for a summoner now anyway so I don't need help anymore xD
