DEEP DIVE into Pathfinder 2e's NEW Kineticist class! (Part 3 of Kineticist series from Rules Lawyer)

CORRECTION: All the "swap an impulse" abilities require that your new impulse feat have the same elemental trait (e.g., water to water). This limitation is on the class feature Reflow Elements, and all the feats that let you switch your impulses proc off of Reflow Elements. This means that the main strength of "multi-elementing" is expanding your choices, NOT the ability to have an on-call library of powers.

One point that I wouldn't say you missed but that didn't get called out for Sanguivolent Vines- Not only does it do piercing damage to your enemies and apply half of the highest damage to your allies, but if any enemies that are in the area are also undead (AKA, healed by Void damage), they *also* take that healing as Vitality damage! This is pretty notable because you heal your allies in the area, explicitly don't heal your enemies in the area, and any enemies that would be harmed by healing still get hurt. It's the best of all worlds, and so, so cool.

29:46 Ooze Form is another effect that grants immunity to critical hits starting at level 5, be it at a cost of a spell slot and tanking your AC. Still probably the best polymorph battle form though, simply because of crit immunity and how dwarfs with Vengeful Hatred can easily trigger it without the extra damage.

You seem to have missed an important detail when it comes to Reflow Elements. You can only swap out an impulse for another impulse *with the same elemental trait*, and you can't use it with composite impulses. If you're the avatar and have all 6 elements, and you picked for example an earth talent at level 18 and then omnikinesis at 20, you only have access to the earth level 18 feats, the other elements' level 18 feats are not available through omnikinesis. So you need to be really careful with which impulses you take when, to maximise access to as many impulses as possible.

@TheRulesLawyerRPG 11 ай бұрын

Ah, that's a HUGE difference! Will add a correction.

@elifia 11 ай бұрын

@@JD-wu5pf Correct, I could have been clearer with that. That's why you want to spread out your higher level feats over as many elements as possible, so you can reflow into as many different talents as possible. If you spread out your level 14, 16, 17, and 18 feats over 4 different elements then you have access to a very large pool of impulses.

Weapon infusion is a must pick for strength based kineticist, but still isn’t that crazy. Its just a lot of text that often won’t matter much. They could remove everything but the ranged part and it would still be good, and that’s not too say the melee part should be removed because it atleast keeps melee occasionally relevant. The extra damage types could be moved over to the versatile blast feat, with minimal power lost. BPS, is great for fire kine, but otherwise meh. Backswing and sweep are invalidated by agile, reach has niche but is often invalidated by thrown. Agile and forceful are good if multiple elemental blast per turn is optimal which i don’t think will happen often.

@jimbob929 11 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure backswing affects your NEXT attack. So you make your first attack backswing, then if it whiffs, you can make your second attack agile and you will be working with an effective -3 attack (-4 from agile and with the +1 circumstance bonus from backswing). I agree that saying its op is a bit early given there are a number of limitations on it (like not being able to use it with the free action blast when you channel). The main reason to take it is adding STR to ranged blasts.

That actually came up in a 20th level one-shot my GM held. We were sent to an island to help the people from waves of undead, werewolves, and vampires terrorizing them so when I declared I had used the impulse, my GM asked what it did. As I was reading it, the rest of my party started laughing hysterically while the GM's jaw dropped. He then asked how long does it last to which I told him, "I can Sustain it for a minute... but then I could just do it again". I was then asked to swap it for something else. Note: I had no idea what he had in mind for the one-shot. It was just an hilarious coincidence. Also, the sun gets 5ft bigger, letting its light reach ever-so slightly further.

I feel like this is how all casters should have been created from the start. Every caster should have just been 90% unique rather than just using spell list from DnD / PF1. Maybe in Pathfinder 3 :). The fact that every primal will often use the same spells can feel odd. Having lots of abilities and options to use on your turn is just amazing. I know 4e was kind of designed this way... Hopefully we get more classes like this that completely change the way characters play rather than being a Martial or Caster.

I played a lvl 10 Wood/Earth Kineticist and had an absolute blast (pun intended). I had some amazing support between keeping the enemy sickened while both preventing tons of damage, doing a bit myself, creating difficult and hazardous terrain, and healing a respectable amount. I always felt like I had something ground breaking (again, pun intended) to do each turn. I'm also now playing a lvl 2 dedicated Water (will fork to Wind at lvl 5) Kineticist that is focused on versatility and battlefield control. People underestimate the power to be able to move enemies. It plays completely differently than my Wood/Earth did (of course also vastly different levels) and choosing between Bludgeoning and Cold damage at level 1 has already proven very advantageous. In short, loving this well designed and versatile class!

Metal Kineticists can't create precious materials - that's one of the specifications, I'm afraid - and the metal they summon is quite low quality. On the other hand, it IS still metal, and can be melted, which would allow a blacksmith character with access to a forge to create a metric crapton of equipment for next to zero cost. I mean, sure, it's rusty, pitted iron, but it is still iron! (the reason why the metal summoned by metal kineticists sucks so much is because, as explained in the setting section, the entire metal plane is messed up big time - one of the Elemental Gods that oversees it is literally a RUST MONSTER THE SIZE OF A CONTINENT!)

Weapon Infusion: I'm late to the party here, we had our first PF game(starter adventure) last weekend, and was wondering if you still felt the same way about this feat? My experience was it was not overpowered, but I absolutely could be missing something(lots of things). Our Ranger and Fighter were using Bastard Sword + Buckler and Javelins, and the Ranger had Precision Strike. So the first thing I noticed playing the Kineticist(Water/Wood, Str2/Con4) was they did a lot more damage with Two-Handed d12, which Weapon Infusion doesn't have as an option(and Str4). I also hit less than the fighter, or and the Precision Strike of the Ranger added even more damage. What I did have, was amazing versatility and essentially could Swap as a free action, or Draw in the case of their Javelins - but my damage dice was capped at d8. My Ocean's Balm and Hail of Splinters felt weak in heals/damage, but amazing at the frequency I could use them. I didn't outshine anyone in damage or heals, but had better action economy and versatility literally every round. I used Thrown 20 mainly with weapon infusion, staying close to the others, but loved just knowing I could go long range with less Str damage if the need arose. I couldn't make use of the +1 weapons we found, another plus for the other classes. I agree the feat is very strong, just not overpowered, as it does not allow you to outshine any other class, but instead advances the classes versatility(not to mention fun).

@alarkhar 8 ай бұрын

I do believe they would; I mean, if the special armor suits can "sponge up" the runes that were on the original armor, that means that they effectively replaced it... temporarily, at least. This normally would mean that the underlying armor disappears, but for creatures like the Guardian Nagaji (who have armored skin) or the Automatons with chassis armor it probably means that their very skin or structure is turned into a pure elemental shell.

It'd be a Battledancer Swashbuckler, and I was going to pick Catfolk reflavored as a Miqo'te, because if we're gonna go all-in on FF we gotta have the catgirls.

No real point to having more than 1 'sun' on the battlefield... you're better off having 1 going centered on you ... and you're immune to fire damage... plus you're blasting out all sorts of other spells every turn.

This video title is 100% throwing shade at NoNat for not making his video yet

For the record I'm not aware of his Kineticist coverage plans! (Been swamped by my own video to-do list) EDIT: Oh I see this video went public literally the same minute as his vid saying his deep dive is delayed. Looks like we scheduled these videos for the same hour, and 10am/7am EST/PST is a top KZfaq hour. For the record I posted this for Patrons 10 days ago, as shown by some comments! And it had this title! (And now we're boosting each other in the algorithm! lol)

Why would the Rules Lawyer "throw shade" at NoNat? You just like to be chronically offended, don't you?

the reason i prefer the warlock is that you can make him work not relying on class resources and have everything cast at will.

Still feels like Paizo failed their Save vs. Power Creep, with this class. Some serious imbalances. 😢

I'm not familiar enough with the game to know about this, could you please elaborate?

My theory for a while now, since hearing the preview of the Remaster, is that they *do* want to power creep for many classes to make them feel as potent as the Fighter. We'll see.
