At ECL 16, being a Fighter is so much about the gear that the many ways in which you can kill things take a back seat.

So let's talk about that. How much loot do you get, straight WBL? And how much cheese can you stomach?

Or are you plotting out a campaign that will go from level X to 16?

well that's the problem, See Were starting at lv 16. were All fans of Anime and voted to do a Trap inside a video game style story.
were playing ourselves Trapped in side are game avatar's. The PF classes and races are used as the choices one have for there avatar.

I am going to a event were I can change my race and class But I will lose My items of my previous character.
The Gm will Most likely sign me so stuff, Its My weapon and armor that are my main concern. also anything that can Help me trip/AoO

so DM is ok with some cheese so if you have any ideas I can offer them as idea for my starting gear for my character to my gm

Is there any particular need to grab the Improved Trip feat line? You could easily just take some Piercing Thunder maneuvers, plenty allow for a free trip without attack of opportunity provoking. Also, remember that there's going to be plenty of enemies that you won't be able to Trip (Flying enemies are the biggest example)
Similarly, you should mostly be taking Advanced Study and Extra Readied Maneuver from 13th level onwards, the 7th+ level maneuvers are worth it, as are many of the 8th level stances, particularly either the one from Piercing Thunder or the one from .
For the point buy Distribution, I'd suggest instead
16+2(Race)+4(Level)=22 STR (10) 14 DEX (5) 14 CON (5) 12 INT (2) 16 WIS (10) 10 CHA (0)
Take Dirty Fighting in place of Combat Expertise, as it both counts as 13 DEX and 13 INT on top of filling Combat Expertise requirements for Improved Trip and feats further down the line.

Remember that with the Fighter's bonuses to combat, you should be well able to hit most enemies automatically-Blade of Perfection is only ever useful against enemies with concealment or miss chance you can't beat otherwise.
I'd suggest you spread stuff around between Primal Fury, Scarlet Throne, and Piercing Thunder for maximum effectiveness.
At 15th you should absolutely take Advanced Study and grab the 8th level stance from either Primal Fury or Piercing Thunder.
EDIT: Also, if possible, take the Piercing Thunder martial tradition-it nets you Haft Strike for free.
