[@WalterWhite-jz7ct]

Hello there...

[@hiei990]

I cannot believe this, I was looking for your old Kineticist build for a WoTR rerun and found this, took me a while to understand it was a new one!

[@spookymacchiato5503]

My demon playthrough is a base Kineticist. I have been wanting to play with SS since it came out but didn't know how to go about buulding it (outside the obvious ranged feats) so I thank you kindly for another wonderful video. Love the channel.

[@terrakross5376]

I would actually maybe suggest water for a couple of reasons. Water not only basically gives you a grease spell, useful in general, but also healing. Since we offload our burn onto the quiver that actually means we have the option to use more utility abilities more often without hitting full burn. Something this archetype actually does better I feel then others where you want to save your burn entirely for combat.

[@noahs2k]

Played a blood kine for my first playthrough. Thanks for showing off the new one, it looks so good!

[@eduardoserpa1682]

Love the modularity of this class.

[@coconutologist]

Thanks for the video. I picked this up during the summer sale, so I'll be going back through your videos to do my homework. Onward to 400k. All glory to the algorithm.

[@Ryumeyer]

I see the poison-tip archer from mtg in the thumbnail, a man of culture

[@Howdy8008]

I now understand why you like this class so much. I really have to try it. ❤ Good stuff.

[@cyniczny]

I quickly scrolled through it, but I'm super happy to watch if in full very soon! (and maybe give it a go) Would you please consider a small section where you talk about advised companions for each build? I guess it would make sense as it's all about building a team in this game 😉 Thanks a lot, Mortym!

[@jamescox2634]

Im starting to think Mort likes Pathfinder.

[@fagarou]

You're delusional

[@RF-INF]

Wait till you see his COD montages

[@b.benjamineriksson6030]

Alright, I'm playing this and Azata next. Thanks for the build. Yes, I'm sold on Pathfinder now.

[@shaitanmo]

I went with energy attack. And in the beginning I just used the bow as an actual bow, with cold iron arrows if i was shooting at demons.

[@foofoo3344]

HEY, THAT WORKS!!!

[@phtefanphtefan3873]

Great, thank you! I created a character for "Through the Ashes" based on your video. Really nice :)

Mortismal ought post a video of himself doing Jazz-Hands, for the end-section

[@megazord5696]

@@tutes0133 yeah, and is catchy

[@hundebubi1410]

Comment for the Jazz.

[@gottendolphin28]

I was JUST thinking of what to do to spice Lann up a bit in my new run, and seeing how the loss for getting to lvl 19 is not bad at all, I'll probably make him into one of these and see how it goes. Thanks for the idea cause I'd totally forgotten about this yesterday haha

[@hundebubi1410]

Was looking for this kind of comment. I asked myself the same. Possible build for Lann? I think I will try it. Roleplay wise I don't like Wenduag.

[@alfredobelloni3258]

Is he actually good with it? He has a rather low CON

[@foofoo3344]

I don't recommend this class for Lann. Dude's better as multiclassing with Sanctified Slayer

[@alfredobelloni3258]

Well I tried it myself and was really satisfied with the results. Core difficulty.

[@foofoo3344]

@@alfredobelloni3258 But then you wouldn't get the critical bonus from level 20 Kinetic Sharpshooter. Is it really worth it?

[@MrJJ86]

Note in the late game if you play Azata you can mount Aivu. You can still charge with Aivu but you would need point blank master which means 3 levels of Zen Archer. Probably not worth it but it's fun. *To charge with a mounted Archer, when it's turn comes up, select the pet and you can charge.

[@cristianhurtadocabezas208]

Yes, I totally needed this!

[@shaitanmo]

Oh yeah, been waiting for this

[@Zero_Zone.]

Very cool build. Will give it a try when I play kinetic sharpshooter.

[@abimukesh9424]

Finally we get to play as magick archer in WOTR!

[@Ehennings10]

Magus Eldritch Archer?

[@Sacdaddicus]

Alright Morty, it's time for a new Wrath playthrough. I concede. Maybe I'll actually see if I can do a real evil playthrough without getting sad about being mean to pixels.

[@sxztube]

Definitely cool! I’m very interested in your take on the most powerful pound for pound class!!

[@hiei990]

Can we get an updated guide on general tips for a new playthrough with all the DLC?

[@nicolasgonzalez629]

Thanks for the build, i appreciate it

[@niktheseamonkey]

Builds are back!

[@_--._--_]

I love that I found this on the steam sale found your videos from forever ago and was like okay this guy did work thank you and then I start seeing that you start popping up with new videos praise gaben

[@nenadpavlovic8405]

Love that you are doing Build videos 😊 Suggestion, best build for each Mythic path, hoping for Lich Witch 😂

[@Kepesk]

I'm about to get back into this game since the last DLC dropped. Might even run this, cause it looks really fun.

[@freejakk]

Gonna respec my demon hunter to this build today. Looks awesome!

[@MrMucera]

250 hours, never made it to act 3 yet. Between these games and City of Heroes i must have made a thousand characters.

[@torenwallace3204]

question: does str bonus to composite bow apply to blast dmg calculation?

[@vichatee2788]

Came here for this question too!

[@FlameUser64]

I doubt it. Strength from javelins does not apply, and negative Strength when using a normal bow doesn't apply either.

[@scottmcclure9407]

There is one other thing you can do with the lich. If you choose earth blast and focus on trip there a ability that the lich has when you do a combat maneuver you do at 10d6 damage a max mythic rank.

[@Dioptase26]

I’ve never played a Kineticist but this looks fun for a Demon or Azata path

[@javiernovoa8756]

Love your build videos.

[@thestoryteller2514]

For people wanting to try this out but don't want it on their character, this is a very good build for Wendu

[@thisjustin77]

Yes more builds !!

[@pvfpinto]

Hi, thanks for it. Will try to go with Angel!

[@RobtheStampede]

Gonna use this build to role-play Gambit.

[@hwate8]

If you go Legend (from Trickster for the sake of argument/IIIC, though that doesn't really matter for my question) into Demonslayer, is that more effective in the endgame than Azata/Lich? I figured combining the 'best' non-Caster in the game (at least in terms of killing the most common enemies) would get you to a much higher level, but I'm not sure how many of the 'Archer Feats' work with Kinetic Sharpshooter.

[@t.t6294]

After I finish up with my Aeon druid, I might try this with the Azata path. it's look fun

[@colmillaso]

Hi Mort, nice video and very cool archetype! I have a query that you may know: would picking both Weapon Focus for bow AND blast attacks stack with each other? given that the class uses both? Thanks

[@MortismalGaming]

It should, yeah

[@Raxele]

What Deity did you choose? (I'm the kind of person who follows builds down to the letter)

[@Snowcloud9]

I would love if you could make builds for each mythic path

[@subterragaming836]

Does blind fight actually work on ranged attacks? it reads meele in tooltip.

[@ZedTheMasterOfShadows]

I thought the mechanic you’re talking about picking blind fight for only works for melee? It specifically says “The invisible attackers’ bonuses do still apply for ranged attacks, however,” in the description for blind fight. Unless I am missing something here?

[@ZedTheMasterOfShadows]

Or wait, does the description mean that when targeting YOU with ranged, they’ll still get bonuses? lol blind fight is confusing.

[@MortismalGaming]

Negates the bonuses invisible enemies get to hitting you in melee (ignoring your Dex to AC, and a +2 to the attack) + immunity to gaze attacks. Its not mandatory, I just like it.

[@ZedTheMasterOfShadows]

@ ah, perfect, exactly what I was wanting to know. I’m still in the respec screen, I appreciate the speedy reply! May you wander in wisdom, good sir.

[@onatgz]

don't mind me, just gonna keep sharpshooting these videos with free comments.

[@darryllyle5250]

How would you make a Wolverine(as in X-Men) build? Would you use Shifter? If so, which Archetype? Would you go Mutation Warrior? I've been doing a bit of searching and i'm seeing a lot of opinions but I really like your builds.

[@MortismalGaming]

I think shifter would be the only thing close, but I havent put much thought into it

[@motivateddad]

Kinda wish they would rework Kinetic Knight to work similarly to this since we are missing so much TT infusions for that class.

[@kaidorade1317]

Sharpshooter? Time to grab our cowboy hats boys! (Yes I’m aware he uses a bow)

[@raleigh_ronin]

Thoughts on crossbow trickerster? Seems strong!! Can we just move out con to cha if they go Lich?

[@tihonannenkov4114]

I wish you would put the game music in the background, quiet of course!

[@MortismalGaming]

Opens me up to copyright claims, it being absent is very intentional

[@DaveCornt]

Could I use a crossbow for this sub class

[@TheWolverine1984]

Is there a stream for this KS playthrough?

[@KimilAdrayne]

About to do a run using Wenduag for the first time. Would this build work for her well, but as Fighter 1 / Kinetict Sharpshooter 19?

[@MortismalGaming]

Yeah should work

[@Titimahh]

oh lawd he back

[@ryanheitink]

i want to try this with legend but would love to have some multi class recommendations for it

[@pr0korora]

Does the threat range and critical multiplier of the weapon matter at all or do we only care if the weapon is +3/4/5

[@raleigh_ronin]

It does

[@antoniosantanaalonso9779]

So it's better to use a crossbow

[@phydeaux01]

Is Kinetic Sharpshooter's bonus to-hit from bows enough to offset using Blue-Flame Blast (Pure-Flame Infusion) and attacking Touch AC instead of armored AC?

[@MortismalGaming]

All energy blasts hit touch ac, using a bow doesnt change that.

[@phydeaux01]

@@MortismalGaming Sorry, I didn't present that thought well. All other energy blasts are subject to spell resistance. Thinking specifically about the Nahyndri contruct at the end of Midnight Isles and similarly powerful enemies with both high SR and high AC.

[@spartakos3178]

I'm thinking of this plus sable company Marine

[@humpahumpason7734]

thank you

[@StarrLordGamer]

So weapon focus and weapon specialization bow/crossbow, and all other feats for kinetic blast instead?

[@MortismalGaming]

Yeah

[@StarrLordGamer]

@@MortismalGaming Mort replied to me! A question no one on the entire Owlcat discord could answer for me lol. Thanks man.

[@MomirViggwilv]

If you have Weapon Focus in both Blasts and Longbows, do both bonuses apply to your blasts?

[@wanglord9591]

Hey guys! I'm pretty new to the game and I was wondering what the damage benchmarks are for the early game? I'm in act one and my main damage dealer is a scythe-wielding Slayer that usually hits for around 25 and crits for around 80. That feels pretty huge to me, but is it actually? What numbers should I be expecting and aiming for? Thanks!

[@Wunderkind04]

Can a Kinetic Sharpshooter use ANY Ranged Weapon? Sure, they get Bows and Crossbows by default, but it doesn't necessarily specify that it has to be those. Does that mean you could be throwing Javelins? Or better yet, yeeting huge ice chunks or molten lava balls with a Sling Staff? Please say yes, lol

[@MortismalGaming]

You'd have to pick up the proficiencies for them, you only get simple weapons, but the abilities only specify a ranged weapon. I don't think you'd be able to use thrown stuff either way though because that wouldnt make any sense, but I cant say I tested it.

[@alex-uw4mm]

i personaly love me some metal blast with rare metal infusion

[@pvfpinto]

Will work on hard? Thansk

[@sunilkumarsheoran2]

I am playing shooter in pathfinder 1 (almost finished), so wont be using this one. I want a caster nuker build (glass cannon), any suggestions?

[@HazelVandice]

could you go legend and mix this with another archer archetype? I kinda like building a badass mage archer

[@gottendolphin28]

It may just be me or something I'm not getting, but I feel like this class is bugged right now? Because if say I have 6 arrows in my quiver with my level 5 kinetic sharpshooter Lann (lvl 6 overall) who has Kinetic overcharge, and I shoot a blast with empower turned on, the amount of arrows goes down by one... but if I seemingly only have 1 arrow left, it won't be used... I'm assuming this is a bug unless I missed something.

[@soulgix8936]

1. Quiver WAS bugged. Now fixed. When out of charges the quiver remained up working as a permanent 1-charge buff. Fixed 2. Overcharge doesn't work. You do not gather power, it is a wasted talent Then you can make the math about burns

[@meursault.1984]

which difficulty was the 100 damage in Act 1?

[@MortismalGaming]

Core

[@Jandau85]

If you can pick Weapon Focus either for Bow or Kinetic Blast, would taking both stack?

[@MortismalGaming]

It should

[@ryangray8392]

Would this be a good multiclass for wenduag or lann?

[@MortismalGaming]

If you take 19 levels of it sure

[@lattekahvi1298]

Lann could be good for going towards kineticist, weapons crit range and modifiers are added to the kinetic blast so getting them higher is always good

[@vitaminc2161]

will this work with cleaving shot mythic ability?

[@MortismalGaming]

It shouldn't but I didn't try, the ranged mythic stuff makes it clear its only for ranged weapon attacks, and it doesnt work with Kinetic Blast.

[@proverbialking3452]

Arcane Archer: (sad Archer noises)

[@jeremym1647]

I’d expect arcane archer to out dmg the kinetic variety.

[@q306005]

I've been thinking about multiclassing Lann into Kinetic Sharpshooter. No offense to his starting class, but I've always found Lann somewhat uninspiring and usually multiclass him into demonslayer.

[@sandstorm0714]

That's a fun idea; is his ability score stat spread alright with Kinetic Sharpshooter?

[@mattyice5696]

Ascended element makes your spells not resistable so i am wondering why you grabbed spell pen?

[@kykori5746]

It Makes it where they don't resist the spell damage type it doesn't make it where they can't resist the spell from working so still have to penetrate their spell resistance

[@mattyice5696]

@@kykori5746 um, what?

[@kykori5746]

@@mattyice5696 ascended element only makes them not resist the DMG from a spell you still need to make a roll to penetrate their spell resistance hence why he picked the feats ascended element doesn't make spells not resistable to spell resistance

[@miraclemaker1418]

Ascended element don't interact with spell resistance. It's only used for bypassing DR and energy immunities

[@MortismalGaming]

Energy blasts from a kineticist have to overcome spell resistance (its like spell AC on an enemy) before making a ranged touch attack to hit, Ascended Element bypasses damage reduction after the hit is confirmed and you are rolling damage.

[@nicholasbruce4124]

That some poison tip archer MTG!?

[@TheGronkus]

Gronk!

[@fistimusmaximus6576]

So your basically hank from the dnd cartoon

[@someother5512]

The bad news is that one cannot use deadly earth or cloud with this archetype, which is generally considered the strongest feature of a kineticist.

[@SpaceVENTING]

Is this subclass unfair viable?

[@MortismalGaming]

Yeah, all kineticists are, but this isnt the one I'd pick personally just because its such a late bloomer comparatively

[@michaelbraund9701]

KZbin Jazz

[@enki201]

Unfair?

[@MortismalGaming]

You could, but it wouldnt be my first choice for Kineticist on that difficulty, would be better off doing elemental engine or just the base class

[@chaitanyateja6415]

Need titan fighter build please

[@miraclemaker1418]

Level 20 Titan fighter with two fauchards, dump dex and get twf feats through the bonus combat feats that let you ignore prereqs, however don't actually dual wield fauchards till mythic 2 where you get mythic TWF and level 9 where you get another level to your incredible heft (?) ability which increases accuracy. Go trickster into legend for those extra crit range feats. Also get cleave feats, lunge, outlank, combat reflexes, ever ready, all the critical focus feats and have someone cast legendary proportions for 20 feetish range. When legend kicks in after fighter 20, go a full bab class with mount progression like Cavalier or mad dog barb or paladin even. In the end what you will have is about 10-15 attacks a turn on average with about 50% crit chance on each of them proccing further AoOs with a mount meaning you will always make full attacks. Basically a human meat grinder
