I appreciate your work! I am confused about Bull Rush and Greater Bull Rush as to how they modify a kinetic blast? They appear as a CBM feat icon when taken, so would they only apply to a melee attacking kinetic blade wielder? or is there some exception that occurs when using Kinetic Blast with Push infusion? Does that enable BR's effects?

[@ingrimmschboindil1302]

I would love too see your idea of an classic 2 handed sword fighter( no glass canon, someone who is in the front line) Or a 2 bladed sword version.

[@cameronb851]

He has a ton of builds for Kingmaker including melee stuff. Really there's not anything specific about wielding a two handed or two blade sword that requires a detailed step by step level 1 to 20 guide. Just look at any of the strength based melee builds geared towards any two handed weapon and where ever he's picked a feat specifically for x weapon, just pick the equivalent one for the weapon you want to use. Be aware though that the reason why there isn't a profusion of guides based around things like the two handed sword, is because there are other weapons in the two handed weapon range that offer better statistics, such as longer reach, and better critical ranges, so most guides will be angled towards those weapons, because when people look for guides for how to build a character, they want to most numerical 'value' out of what they are doing. An extra attack. Some control feature not available to most mortals. They want the killer detail that transforms them into gaming gods, without 'cheating'. That's kind of the point of guides. Someone with a better understanding of all the intricate details who can show you something you weren't aware of.

[@fazliamri]

Love your video bro

[@osareafallire]

This is pretty ingenious. I like how your apparently simple (Trickery, Perception, and Persuasion) strategy all kind of culminates in massive benefits with the feats you take towards the end. Great, impressive job. Are you still playing this? Have you put together any full squad builds?

[@teamcomeback2411]

Would love to see an intimidation build that incorporates a few levels of magus/dragon disciple to be able to cast many arcane spells while killing foes in melee.

[@IAmAnEvilTaco]

Bard. Bard is great at this. Bard/dd is very underrated.

[@cameronb851]

The issue with caster build mixes is that most casters are back end heavy. They get their powerhouse abilities in their later levels, so mixing anything else with them risks severely reducing their abilities with only a moderate value trade-off. After all, how much better is the intimidation build than just having a pure Sorcerer that can spam five different types of empowered CC spells, plus everything else they can do. For the Intimidation build to work well it needs a bunch of progressive feat buys, which on a caster build are usually used to re-enforce their casting power and penetration. Gearing back towards a powerhouse fighting build just makes the caster side pointlessly gimped. Likewise, Dragon Disciple builds usually treat the caster required component as a vestigial limb. Necessary for the buy into the class, but otherwise effectively redundant once the goal has been achieved, as typically once the four initial levels of DD have been activated, the build doesn't bother returning to the caster line to keep going, instead switching to some third class to buff into some quasi martial power curve. The best DD builds are with class mixes like Bards, because they don't really have a high level power spike and a lot of their initial and mid levels are geared towards buffing, which doesn't require power or penetration because it's not intended to nuke swaths of enemies like classic caster archetypes. Pure magus builds are about the best gish stuff you will find, where they are solid melee-ists and reasonably capable casters as well.

[@RagnarWolflord]

Like the build here, I have been wanting to do a kineticist since they came out. One question though and may have missed the reasoning, why Water instead of Air or Earth? Was it because the water wall does the bounce?

[@VictorCreedGaming]

Just some little tips(hope these don't count as insult for you as they seem to do in most parts of the internet): You can reach much higher CMBs with Trip Infusion in this game since there is a feat adding your dex modifier to your con/wis/int modifier (depending on Kineticist sub) and the only req is the trip feat (which is +2 to your trips with infusions anyway). The highest lategame CMP with trip Infusion I was able to get is 48, but that is with Lich's hat so for Kineticist that's far worse than the actual Kineticist's headband with +6d6 +6 damage. But even without the hat your trips will be quite high 44 CMB before Act 7 and 47 in Act 7 with the final kineticists hat. While tripping doesn't look as funny as pushing it is actually as effective since you just put your deadly earth on top of your wall, it is a giant Aoe anyway, so you can still aggro with deadly earth after having pre cast the wall. While 48 CMB is not guaranteed Trip vs wild hunt in the middle of combat it is guaranteed if you catch them flat footed and you can actually two shot (assuming you're opening with maximise + empower, have the kineticists hat for 6d6 +6 damage) most wild hunt (except monarch i think) so if you have the hare, II feat and initiative necklace, most fights will be over before they even start.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Also, um you can use bowling infusion and pushing infusion at the same time, but I think its a bug

[@VictorCreedGaming]

@@ArcaneAgent Yeah, there are quite some bugs around the kineticist, don't know if any got fixed since I last played, but infusions stick around after you cast an ability first time in combat even if you toggle them off. Biggest glitch I was abusing was using gather power all the time for free maximise and empower, even in combat if you instantly after your first cast, when your char would start gathering power, click your ability again you don't need to wait for 1/1/2 round but the ability would still be free of burn cost.

[@demonsean]

why take water instead of other elements at the start?

Great vid, as usual. You might know this by now, but you could have turned off AI so that your character doesn't move (at all) when an ability or cast gets triggered.

Don't know if anyone else pointed this out already but the reason why your char can't stand still & keeps moving to attack is - I think - because you got AI turned on.

Something you can experiment with on Kineticists are focusing on pure constitution to get as much burn as you can, then SPEND those burns on whatever buffs you want, and make use of Elemental Overflow for other stat bonuses. It's amazing what one can do with kineticists that way :)

It would. However the push of course pushes them back, giving them a chance to be pushed back again.

[@zarddin9561]

@@ArcaneAgent I wonder if Combat Maneuvers are any useful or good on unfair difficulty? Like every enemy gets huge bonuses to AC and stats I think so also to CMD?

[@AFguy99]

now add a few archers and casters... stuff wouldnt have a chance

[@grilledleeks6514]

One thing I hope the devs see from this vid is to please clean up the movement commands =x

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes. I want to HOLD position even if I have auto melee equipped and they run away

[@sXing89]

What does the 12 str and 12 wis do? Aren't those kind of a waste and should be put into con instead?

[@ArcaneAgent]

I generally do it just because I want enough strength to carry gear

[@sXing89]

@@ArcaneAgent awesome thx for the fast reply. What about the wis? Any dependancies for that or is it just for will saves? Because I was thinking of going 10/17/16/12/10/10

[@ArcaneAgent]

@@sXing89 I can't recall if the wisdom was for a feat or for saves

Could I start as thug and then go into kinetist at lvl 2 for the different outfit or would it messup something?

[@ArcaneAgent]

I'm not sure, I don't remember why I built it that way

[@Ceetvair]

@@ArcaneAgent I mean in general. I just started to play the game yesterday and try to figure out what I want to play and how I want to play, so I'm checking a lot of builds. And I have seen many with only 1 level in something right at lvl2. Since level 1 is only the tutorial anyways, for me it would make sense that the order of lvl 1 and lvl2 do not matter?! So hard to get into this game btw. especially because most builds don't offer any gameplay. You are the only one I have found so far. So thanks and nice work :)

[@ArcaneAgent]

No problem

[@piliopan]

I have the game but this race dont appear, is it an ampliation?

[@ArcaneAgent]

You need the DLC

[@piliopan]

Thanks, I buy de dlc in the steam store but for some reason dont appear de race and the kineticist...

[@deraal86]

why do you need so much STR ? doesn't all your skills come from CON? or at least the DC for bull rush is calculated with CON, or?

[@ArcaneAgent]

Because I hate min maxing. That's the only reason

[@deraal86]

@@ArcaneAgentOH! got it... thought these builds are munchkins, but this is good, too :) anyway, I'm having fun with this build. thanks a lot!

[@ArcaneAgent]

@@deraal86 I mean I feel like a min max is fine, but I feel cheap having 6 strength

[@ao3teague1]

my version of the game dose not have kineticist what version do i need?

[@ArcaneAgent]

That's an expansion

@@ArcaneAgent cool thanks i got it now

[@dealwolfstriked272]

How did you learn all this stuff.Are you a veteran pathfinder player or did you just learn the system when you purchased this game?

[@ArcaneAgent]

Still learning, this system. Ive only played DnD games through video games. Which I think helps because I look through everything and test it all out

[@dealwolfstriked272]

I do love this! The fact that some people can build crazy good characters while others just spam magic missile LOL.Gonna dive in myself! Thanks....

[@ArcaneAgent]

Have fun, but remember to spam magic missile as well

>we're gonna grab some rogue proficiencies > mfw kineticist don't give a shit about weapon proficiencies because he is already able to wield his kinetic blade and that's all that matters

First couple of levels, shortswords crossbows and what not helps

[@chekitatheanimatedskeptic6314]

Nice build, just one tip: disable AI in your character and you dont need to keep pressing hold.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Sweet!

[@xoncorpath6338]

Turn off the AI to make it so your hold position continues to work

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yeet

Still one of the best, most unique and most fun looking builds I have seen. Maybe ever seen for PathFinder. Soo much interactivity and flavor, instead of just mindlessly selfbuffing and smacking like most builds do :) One question tho: How come that your abilities cost 0 burn and you dont use any? Is it just by Infusion specialization?

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes infusion specialization

[@aislinnbailey2391]

Love the videos, but they seem to be getting a bit repetative with the dazzling display in almost all of them. Also the ads are getting a bit excessive. Other than that though keep them coming.

[@ArcaneAgent]

Yes. Dazzling is going to be taking a break from my builds. The dazzling in this build helped keep baddies away for sure. I place an advertisement every 3 minutes. 1. It does allow me to make more money per video. Honesty first. 2. It allows you guys a brain break every 3 minutes. 3. My watch time has actually gone *up* since i increased my ads.
