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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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 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
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.
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
I'm using it on Weng on Unfair, pretty much playable but you burn through charges like crazy so it doesn't work well for big maps I went with blue flame version for max dmg was unpleasantly surprised that mystic overcharge doesn't seem to work, so you get at best -1 cost for blasts from regular class progression and that's it, even most basic combined blast starts eating through your quiver like crazy if they fix overcharge for this class it will be more convenient for sure

Hello there...
cool! thanks mort, excited you're making new builds for wotr
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.
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!
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!
I now understand why you like this class so much. I really have to try it. ❤ Good stuff.

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.
Im starting to think Mort likes Pathfinder.
You're delusional
Wait till you see his COD montages
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.
Played a blood kine for my first playthrough. Thanks for showing off the new one, it looks so good!
I see the poison-tip archer from mtg in the thumbnail, a man of culture
Alright, I'm playing this and Azata next. Thanks for the build.
Yes, I'm sold on Pathfinder now.
Love the modularity of this class.

Finally we get to play as magick archer in WOTR!
Magus Eldritch Archer?
Oh yeah, been waiting for this
Great, thank you! I created a character for "Through the Ashes" based on your video. Really nice :)
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.
Hi, thanks for it. Will try to go with Angel!
Definitely cool! I’m very interested in your take on the most powerful pound for pound class!!
Very cool build. Will give it a try when I play kinetic sharpshooter.
I'm about to get back into this game since the last DLC dropped. Might even run this, cause it looks really fun.
Gonna respec my demon hunter to this build today. Looks awesome!
Thanks for the build, i appreciate it
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.
Yes, I totally needed this!
Been waiting for this one Lord Mortisimal!
Love that you are doing Build videos 😊 Suggestion, best build for each Mythic path, hoping for Lich Witch 😂
I’ve never played a Kineticist but this looks fun for a Demon or Azata path
Love your build videos.
Can we get an updated guide on general tips for a new playthrough with all the DLC?
For people wanting to try this out but don't want it on their character, this is a very good build for Wendu
question: does str bonus to composite bow apply to blast dmg calculation?
Came here for this question too!
yes
Gonna use this build to role-play Gambit.
Yes more builds !!
250 hours, never made it to act 3 yet. Between these games and City of Heroes i must have made a thousand characters.
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

I think shifter would be the only thing close, but I havent put much thought into it
After I finish up with my Aeon druid, I might try this with the Azata path. it's look fun
oh lawd he back
Sharpshooter? Time to grab our cowboy hats boys! (Yes I’m aware he uses a bow)
Builds are back!
I would love if you could make builds for each mythic path
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
It does
thank you
I wish you would put the game music in the background, quiet of course!
Opens me up to copyright claims, it being absent is very intentional
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?
Yeah should work
Thoughts on crossbow trickerster? Seems strong!!
Can we just move out con to cha if they go Lich?
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?

All energy blasts hit touch ac, using a bow doesnt change that.
@@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.
Will work on hard? Thansk
Gronk!
Does blind fight actually work on ranged attacks? it reads meele in tooltip.

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

If you have Weapon Focus in both Blasts and Longbows, do both bonuses apply to your blasts?
i personaly love me some metal blast with rare metal infusion
could you go legend and mix this with another archer archetype? I kinda like building a badass mage archer
Is there a stream for this KS playthrough?
So weapon focus and weapon specialization bow/crossbow, and all other feats for kinetic blast instead?
Yeah
@@MortismalGaming Mort replied to me! A question no one on the entire Owlcat discord could answer for me lol. Thanks man.

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.
That's a fun idea; is his ability score stat spread alright with Kinetic Sharpshooter?
So your basically hank from the dnd cartoon
If you can pick Weapon Focus either for Bow or Kinetic Blast, would taking both stack?
It should
Arcane Archer: (sad Archer noises)
I’d expect arcane archer to out dmg the kinetic variety.
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.
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?
just go lich and spam exsanguinate (and it's aoe version)
or angel and spam bolts
Is this subclass unfair viable?
Yeah, all kineticists are, but this isnt the one I'd pick personally just because its such a late bloomer comparatively
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...

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
will this work with cleaving shot mythic ability?
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.
Would this be a good multiclass for wenduag or lann?
If you take 19 levels of it sure
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
which difficulty was the 100 damage in Act 1?
Core
Ascended element makes your spells not resistable so i am wondering why you grabbed spell pen?
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
@@kykori5746 um, what?
@@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
Ascended element don't interact with spell resistance. It's only used for bypassing DR and energy immunities
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.
Bownus.
Need titan fighter build please

Basically a human meat grinder
Unfair?
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
I'm using it on Weng on Unfair, pretty much playable but you burn through charges like crazy so it doesn't work well for big maps
I went with blue flame version for max dmg
was unpleasantly surprised that mystic overcharge doesn't seem to work, so you get at best -1 cost for blasts from regular class progression and that's it, even most basic combined blast starts eating through your quiver like crazy
if they fix overcharge for this class it will be more convenient for sure
