One point of clarification, I agree with you that Kineticist is pretty Multiple Ability Dependent. But, you don’t need any more than +1 Dex if you want to play a melee Kineticist. You can just take one of the three armor infusions.
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 Kineticist, the feat to create your armor, have an 12 in DEX, go full CON and STR, and be the Bonker you always wanted to be while being tanky :v
Auras are not stances, nor are stances (strictly speaking) auras. If you have an aura junction then that effect is active whenever you are channeling the elements. You do not need to be in a stance to get that effect. If you choose to use a stance, possibly when you channel elements, you get the stance effects AND the aura effects. Some of those combinations can be quite powerful. But a monk (as example) with a Kineticist dedication will most likely choose aura effects and not stances, a kinetic stance would preclude a monk stance but the aura effect would still be active. Conversely, some kinetic stances can be extremely useful gor other characters that are not already building around a pre-existing stance. I've been building a Druid/Kineticist (wood) or (earth) the stances available seem quite nifty for the type of druid I'm working on.
I’m looking at Druid / Phytokineticist but I’m not sure which one should be the dedication. It’s been 2 months since your comment so…what way did you build and how’s it going?
Not really no, it is an interesting idea but that's time taken away from other videos and with my up coming kineticist bite sized I will already have 3 videos on the class which I think is enough
2:00 When you say "only class in this game and only class ever", are you referring to other games like D&D etc? Because 4e had 2 classes that used it as their main attribute: warlock (one of 2 options along charisma) and Battlemind (a psionic tank).

Would appreciate a video about how the Kineticist Instinct Barbarian\FREE Kineticist Archetype is a GREAT Class Combo!!!
The magus would like to have a word with you. A melee spellstrike adds str and int to damage
The int to damage is going away soon with the update I believe.
@verzen I know and that's kind of sad.
@@verzenHas that been confirmed? A bunch of people keep saying that but I can't find any official sources.

Hello my good man.
So... Watch Shadow and Bone... tell me the casters are not kineticist..kinetics... Also has anyone made a setting in that world?

Water and wood are cool indeed.
Good theme and lots of healing options.
That Ash Strider impulse makes them the bane of Trolls everywhere.
The Armor situation can be solved by impulses btdubs
The kineticist wont get more hp than a barbarian that maxes con at 20, but it will match a fighter who maxes con at 20 if you max your con at 24
Wait how do you get it to 24? I can only get it to 22 at level 20.

Do you want to do a deep dive about all elements?)

Pretty sure he's just referring to Pathfinder 2e.
@@CarBENbased Then you'd just say the first part. "in this game" would cover it, no need to say "only class ever" on top of that.
@@alistairetheblu he was implying that he doesn't believe that paizo will release another class in the future that's based off of Constitution.
