Ok, I've been told that Hunters make good skirmishers and I wanted to try it out, then I've seen the Verminous Hunter archetype and fell in love with it, I know that vermin animal companions tend to suck, but the mantis looks really cool, it has a flying speed, decent stats, two attacks and grab. Now my question is, would a Verminous Hunter be a good frontliner? We have a 25 point-buy and one of the traits is locked on Finding Haleen (or finding your kin).
I've come up with a rough draft considering a starting level of 4 (the campaign's beginning level).
Hunter-
Alternate trait: Eye for talent
Str-21
Dex-14
Con-12
Int-10
Wis-14
Cha-7
Feats: Power Attack, Outflank (bonus), Combat Reflexes, Paired Opportunists (bonus)
Traits: Finding Haleen (locked), Reactionary(?)
HP: 33 (all FCB here)
Mantis
Str-13 (Eye for talent here)
Dex-16
Con-10
Int-1 (4th level advancement)
Wis-12
Cha-7
Feats: Toughness, Outflank(bonus), Combat Reflexes, Paired Opportunists
HP: 22
Is this all correct? Any suggestion on how to improve the build? Maybe focusing more on Wis and Con by reducing the Strength a bit?
