PF: WOTR ENHANCED - Updated KINETICIST GUIDE: The HIGHEST AoEs 1K to 3K+ & ALL MECHANICS EXPLAINED

Holy hell. I just tried this on the dlc that let's you build a level 20 character. Instead of what you have, I picked fire / earth / fire and for mythic I picked trickster then swarm. It's insane as it lets you clone yourself. Each clone threw out rolling earth / magma tripping locations and blue flame walls then sat back and snipped the few enemies that survived. I also mixed your auto explode trickster dazzling display with the fire kineticist part and everything just explodes everywhere. Off the hook fun!

Nice guide. Further I would like to add that as other players did adding 2 lvls of witch of the veil at the very start may remove the valuable 19th lvl ability but allows you a very smooth solo game even on unfair.

You should really do this as an EE instead of base Kineticist. As long as you are at max Burn, the EE is just a straight upgrade. And with so much CON, it's not a big deal to lose 8HP/lvl. And the only downside while not at max burn is ... taking more burn and getting to max faster.

One thing I like about elemental engine is it doubles the attack and damage bonuses from overflow and burnout because they stack. Unfortunately, the size bonus to 2 physical stats at 3 stacks unlocked at level 6 is bugged and doesn't work on EE.

Overall higher damage potential at the cost of fewer options to decrease burn cost

I find it hilarious that a giant flaming Balor somehow happens to be a water bender.

I actually would NOT recommend deadly earth, tbh. I tried it in one of my playthroughs, and by end game, that's what ALL you'd be doing to kill everything. I think currently it's bugged in the sense that it just bypasses AC for whatever reason. I think if it doesn't, then this becomes a good enough ability and not just straight up broken and makes the game unfun.

A quick question to those who have played this class, (i have not played one before.). So I am not going to go with water for my demon playthrough (RP/theme reasons), BUT I do want to do the earth with it.

So here lies my question. Would you all recommend fire first for the early game or earth? Fire would hit touch and I can get through fire resist at the end of act 1 so no big deal there. The big win with fire, for me, is the increased effectiveness against the swarms I will find in Act 1 and Act 2.

I know going earth would give me the bowling early for extra trip chance, but make it harder to hit as well.

The fact that you know of the 3e warlock, and compared it to one of my favourite occult classes sent waves of joy throughout my soul more than I can describe. I take it you've been playing ttrpgs for a handful of years then?

What this makes me wonder is how would Kalavakus work with an alchemist and Force Bombs.

So does this still work after the Sarkorian patch? I read that Kineticists got nerfed.

Question, sorry I just can't figure out why you didn't start with 25 points to allocate at the character creation? 🤔

Loving all your build videos

No Ascendant Element? How far off would the build be with Fire > Earth > Fire?

can you do a Kinetic build with Angel or Azata or Lich? Just not a fan of the Demon mythic path but want to try Kinetic playthrough?

Is this build still viable after the updates?

Which version of the Slick I should be using early game? I have to spend 1 burn to use the 1min/level one and there isn't a way to reduce the burn. That 1 round Slick is just too short. Am I suppose to just CC without doing damage to spam the Slick?

can anyone tell me how or where on the character page can I see the attack roll information for kinetic blast like the + to rolls and what affects it.

is there a non demon kineticists? or non lich. is trickster or azata viable?

Ok ... never done Kineticist before, just tested it in midnigth isle with a lvl14 save, it is awesome :D !!!

Finally, not so cool ...... demonic rage in combat mean 3 sec vulnerable. in 3 sec you are just dead ...

Could you make a Kineticist/Demon/Swarm that Walks build? And is that build viable? What would be your minimum level you would take a kineticist? Later in the build it seemed like the power selections were redundant and not an improvement on the powers you already have. Why not multiclass?

Tested agains the last boss of midnight isle. really realyy disapointing. Why the magic didn't work?
first on normal difficulty : 2 hit, 2 x 80 damage. trip and bull rush need a socre of 160. my max is 120 :(
on casual difficulty : 4 hit : 2 x 90 + 2 (trip+bullrush) x 300 : 800 damage :( ...

Excellent guide.

hi i have one question how to equip lesser kineticist rod without it bugs?

Brother, make a Discord! Would love a community of Pathfinder players to chat with

Grease over performs in pretty much every version of Pathfinder or D&D it's in, and WOTR is no exception.

And how about a guide for those who aren't on the demon path?

Ok I have a level 13 kineticist mercenary I hired/made half following your video but seeing as I'm not demon path I diverged a little I took fire and earth and a few different choices you recommended I turn every infusion off and turn on the medium gather power and for some reason I can't use magma kinetic blade, why?

second ring?

What should i tell the Skeletal Merchant for him to bring me the critical kineticist ring?

I've not played Kineticist to high level yet, but how would you prevent killing yourself by spamming deadly earth with all the infusions? At the very least if you just use gather power low, you use burn. Which is a limited amount you can use till rest. Yet you commented at the start you can spam infinitely. Do you switch you gather power medium/high after you expend all your burn? Or is there another way to reduce burn that I'm not aware of?

I watch videos of this game as someone who plays crpgs to one day try to attempt to start this game😂

Are kineticists still bugged? I remember the lesser rod causing problems and never touching the class again.

I dont quite understand 1 thing. Sorry for my ignorance: Does aspect of Kalavakus let your composite blast to hit multiple?

i dont even own this game yet lol

I’m pretty sure you can’t get all your attacks with kinetic blade whilst using gather power low

Hmmm Amon Jerro... love the NWN2 reference :P

Would love to see a build for the new Kinetic Sharpshooter. It seems interesting and im curious to see if things like Rapid Shot would finally apply to Kineticist blasts (because its via a ranged weapon?)

tnx for video, mind if i ask if this build is still viable?

Coming back here after a year looking for a Kineticist guide and I just noticed the character's name.
You're indeed a man of culture. If I play a shaman, I'll be sure to play as Gann

Amon Jerro. I understood that reference.

Just finished my Unfair run with your Seelah, Ember, Rageshaper, Manticore and Brown Fur builds. Thank you for your work!

is this still doable with Elemental Engine?

Archmage armor no longer procs from scrolls or potions.

Thank you so much for this video! I was having a hard time understanding Kineticist and its Archtypes. This has helped immensely.

2 Witch of the Veil / 18 Elemental Engine kineticist.
Enjoy soloing the game on unfair.

Edit - trickster mythic path. That is key.

One thing I noticed for Deadly Earth is that if you just select pushing infusion and cast the ability it will do the bull rush combat maneuver. If you then select bowling infusion (if you don't have the mythic ability to use 2) it deselects pushing infusion and selects bowling infusion. However on the second "tick" of the Deadly Earth round of damage it will now apply both pushing AND bowling infusion. Allowing you to cast both for less burn if you're willing to wait a round.

awesome guide, I have one question about dazzling display - when playing turn based, dont you also want to get mythical dazzling display to use it as swift action, also wont you need high cha to make intimidation work?
