Looking for eldritch archer build
As the title says i'm looking for a build for a eldritch archer with what sort of feats and mythic feats to take for it or if its recommended to multiclass out of eldritch archer after a bit

Normally you would do something like a 2/12/6 or 2/8/10 split of eldritch archer, eldritch scoundrel and eldritch knight. The 2 levels of eldritch archer get you an extra attack, the 8 to 12 levels of eldritch scoundrel get you a variety of things including a better spell list for spell combat/spellstrike, and the 6 to 10 levels of eldritch knight get you your last iterative attack.

Though with spell and element resistance being a lot more prevalent in Wrath than they were in Kingmaker, and archers not having the room in their builds to take all the feats a caster would take to get around them, eldritch archer-based builds aren't as strong in Wrath as they were in Kingmaker. You'll likely get more reliable ranged DPS out of a zen archer, unless you need a backup arcane caster in your party.

Don't forget how amazing elemental barrage is for Eldritch Archer! You just stack fire/ice/lightning damage on your bow, then you deal 3 times your mythic rank in extra d6's to the baddie! The downside is that you will be giving up some +to hit the guys, so don't forget to be adding as many bonus to hit sources you can. I like the full 20 levels eldritch archer for the imbue weapon ability. and the magus spells are pretty good!

Reddit user 0rphan has a simple and safe build on reddit.

Also, just go straight up Eldritch Archer. You lose to much by branching out to other classes.

I haven't started playing it yet but I'm putting 5 into EA and the rest into elemental witch.

Eldrich archer is bugged currently, as Dimension strike don`t work on ranged attacks, making that class effectively dead in late game.
Once they fix it, you can build as elemental barrage abuser with 1vivi 9 eldrich archer 1 dual bloodline fire sorc 9 arcane trickster . Trickster path for better abuse of elemental barrage.

Eldritch archer is missing a number of spells that have great synergies with spellstrike, that is the main reason why getting access to the broader wizard spell list through ES raises your DPS compared to a straight EA build.

When you consider adding AT to the mix, the one thing you want to make sure to do is reach +16 AB for your last iterative attack, or at an absolute minimum not dip below +11 and lose one of the iteratives a straight EA would have, because archers use the full attack action a lot more often than front-line characters. Viv1/EA9/sorc1/AT9 knocks your AB all the way down to +10, which not only fails to give you the extra iterative at +16 but actually loses one of the iteratives a straight EA would have.

Nah, you gain full wizard spellbook as trickster anyway, so ES is kinda wasted. No dimensional strike? Good luck hitting 60 AC dudes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KirUfT24r-0 .
Scorching ray with +3 dmg per dice from sorc bloodline will cary you troug early game and once dimensional strike+elemental barrage kick in you`re gona rip enemies appart in 1 round.
