PerceptionKineticist is a class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Kineticists are living channels for elemental matter and energy, manipulating the world around them by drawing upon inner reserves from their own bodies.
Kineticists channel raw elemental power and matter of the Ethereal Plane into their bodies, manifesting in strange effects known as kinesis. Their powers often confuse others into believing they are monks or sorcerers.

Kineticist Progression
Kineticist Abilities
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies
Kineticists are proficient with all simple weapons and light armor, but not shields.
Elemental Focus
At 1st level, a kineticist chooses one primary element on which to focus. This element determines how she accesses the raw power of the Ethereal Plane, and grants her access to specific wild talents and additional class skills. She gains her selected element's basic utility wild talent (basic aerokinesis, etc.) as a bonus wild talent.
Kinetic Blast
At 1st level, a kineticist gains a kinetic blast wild talent of her choice. This kinetic blast must be a simple blast that matches her element.
As a standard action, the kineticist can unleash a kinetic blast at a single target in close range. She must have at least one hand free to aim the blast. All damage from a kinetic blast is treated as magic for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. Kinetic blasts count as a type of weapon for the purpose of feats such as Weapon Focus. Vital Strike feats cannot be used with kinetic blasts. Kinetic blasts always deal full damage to swarms of any size (though only area blasts deal extra damage to swarms).
Each simple blast is either a physical blast or an energy blast.
Physical blasts are ranged attacks that deal an amount of damage equal to 1d6+1 + the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 1d6+1 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st. Spell resistance doesn't apply against physical blasts.
Energy blasts are ranged touch attacks that deal an amount of damage equal to 1d6 + 1/2 the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 1d6 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st.
Composite blasts combine elements to form a new blast. When a kineticist gains a new element through expanded element, she gains access to all composite blasts for which she qualifies.
Most composite blasts are either physical or energy blasts, like simple blasts.
Physical composite blasts deal an amount of damage equal to 2d6+2 + the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 2d6+2 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st.
Energy composite blasts deal an amount of damage equal to 2d6 + 1/2 the kineticist's Constitution modifier, increasing by 2d6 for every 2 kineticist levels beyond 1st.
Burn
At 1st level, a kineticist can overexert herself to channel more power than normal, pushing past the limit of what is safe for her body by accepting burn. Some of her wild talents allow her to accept burn in exchange for a greater effect, while others require her to accept a certain amount of burn to use that talent at all. For each point of burn she accepts, a kineticist takes 1 point of nonlethal damage per character level. This damage can't be healed by any means other than getting a full night's rest, which removes all burn and associated nonlethal damage. Nonlethal damage from burn can't be reduced or redirected, and a kineticist incapable of taking nonlethal damage can't accept burn. A kineticist can accept only 1 point of burn per round. This limit rises to 2 points of burn at 6th level, and rises by 1 additional point every 3 levels thereafter. A kineticist can't choose to accept burn if it would put her total number of points of burn higher than 3 + her Constitution modifier (though she can be forced to accept more burn from a source outside her control). A kineticist who has accepted burn never benefits from abilities that allow her to ignore or alter the effects she receives from nonlethal damage.
Infusion
At 1st level, a kineticist gains an infusion wild talent from the list of options available based on her elemental focus. She gains additional infusions at 3rd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 17th, and 19th levels. By using infusions along with her kinetic blasts, a kineticist can alter her kinetic blasts to suit her needs. Infusions come in two types, each of which changes a kinetic blast differently: a substance infusion causes an additional effect, while a form infusion causes the kinetic blast to manifest in a different way. Each infusion can alter only certain kinds of kinetic blasts, which are listed in its Associated Blasts entry. Each time the kineticist uses one of her kinetic blast wild talents, she can apply up to one associated form infusion and up to one associated substance infusion.
Some infusions change the action required to activate a kinetic blast or entirely transform the kinetic blast's normal effects.
The burn cost listed in each infusion's Burn entry is added to the burn cost of the kinetic blast the infusion modifies.
The DC for a save against an infusion is based on the associated kinetic blast's effective spell level, not the level of the infusion.
Wild Talents
A kineticist can use wild talents — magical abilities similar to spells but drawn from the kineticist's innate psychic talent and usable at will. Wild talents are typically spell-like abilities (though some are supernatural abilities), and take a standard action to use unless otherwise noted. Every wild talent has an effective spell level. A kineticist can always select 1st-level wild talents, but she can select a wild talent of a higher level only if her kineticist level is at least double the wild talent's effective spell level. Kinetic blast and defense wild talents are always considered to have an effective spell level equal to 1/2 the kineticist's class level (to a maximum effective spell level of 9th at kineticist level 18th). Unless otherwise noted, the DC for a saving throw against a wild talent is equal to 10 + the wild talent's effective spell level + the kineticist's Constitution modifier. The kineticist uses her Constitution modifier on all concentration checks for wild talents. In addition to the wild talents she gains from her other class features, at 2nd level and every 2 levels thereafter, a kineticist selects a new utility wild talent from the list of options available to her. A kineticist can select only universal wild talents or those that match her element.
Metakinesis - Empowered
At 5th level, a kineticist gains the ability to alter her kinetic blasts as if with metamagic feats by accepting burn. By accepting 1 point of burn, she can empower her kinetic blast (as if using Empower Spell).
Expanded Element
At 7th level, a kineticist learns to use another element or expands her understanding of her own element. She can choose any element, including her primary element. She gains one of that element's simple blast wild talents that she does not already possess, if any. She also gains all composite blast wild talents whose prerequisites she meets. She doesn't gain the defensive wild talent of the expanded element unless she later selects it with the expanded defense utility wild talent.
At 15th level, the kineticist can either select a new element or expand her understanding of her original element. She can't select the same element she selected at 7th level. She gains all the benefits from her new expanded element as listed above.
Metakinesis - Maximized
At 9th level, a kineticist gains the ability to further alter her kinetic blasts as if with metamagic feats. By accepting 2 points of burn, she can maximize her kinetic blast (as if using Maximize Spell).
Supercharge
At 11th level, when using gather power as a move action, a kineticist can reduce the total burn cost of a single wild talent by 2 points instead of 1. When using gather power for 1 full round, she can reduce the burn cost of a single wild talent by 3 points instead of 2.
Metakinesis - Quicken
At 13th level, a kineticist gains the ability to further alter her kinetic blasts as if with metamagic feats. By accepting 3 points of burn, she can quicken her kinetic blast (as if using Quicken Spell).
At 17th level, by accepting 4 points of burn, the kineticist can use her kinetic blast twice with the same standard action, or swift action if she also uses metakinesis to quicken the blast. Both blasts are affected by the same modifications, but the burn cost is only paid once.
Composite Specialization
At 16th level, a kineticist becomes more adept at creating composite blasts. The burn cost of all composite blasts is reduced by 1 point. This can't reduce the cost of a composite blast below 0 points.
Metakinetic Master
At 19th level, choose one type of metakinesis, such as empower or quicken. The burn cost of that metakinesis is reduced by 1 point (to a minimum of 0 points).
All Infusions
Using Infusions, a kineticist can alter her kinetic blasts to suit her needs. Infusions come in two types: form infusions and substance infusions. A kinetic blast can have up to one form infusion and up to one substance infusion applied at a time.

Anonymouspro-tip, save before using the kinetic restoration. several times now when using it, i'll take the burn for it, but the ability does nothing. i thought maybe i was mistaken and a new update broke lesser restoration. i used the ability 10x in a row, then used a scroll when my burn was at maximum, and the scroll worked. just another bug to deal with. no mods ever installed.

What happened to infusion specialization? In Kingmaker the burn cost of your blasts went down as you leveled up but that class feature seems to be gone
Kineticists currently receive a bugged amount of skill points. They (and all of their archetypes) currently get 2 skill points per level when they should be getting 3 under the condensed skills system the game uses.

Composite blasts do more damage than they are supposed to. They do the listed damage (ie half blast damage) for each damage type instead of total.
Duration blasts such as Deadly Earth do their on-cast damage and one round of their per-turn damage up-front, Combined, these two issues mean that a Deadly Earth blast with Magma element will do 2x blast damage on-cast instead of .5x. Furthermore, Tabletop rules say it should be doing 1/4th damage and not 1/2 on cast, so the net result is Deadly Earth doing 8x the damage it should be doing immediately on cast.

Elemental Engine has Expanded Element, Elemental Burnout will only work on First Choosen and not on Second(lvl 7) and Third (lvl 15)
This class...ridiculous amount of feat requirements to make it work.
So, for starters, kinetic blast, the core of the class, is a spell-like ability, which means it needs to overcome spell resistance if the target has any (which is very common in this game).
Spell Penetration and Greater Spell Penetration (and Mythic Spell Penetration) are MUST take.
And then, at low levels, you'll run into an issue where you can't hardly hit them because of the -4 to hit targets in close combat. So now you need Point Blank Shot + Precise Shot. Might also look into Weapon Focus (kinetic blast).
And none of these are bonus feats you can get from the class, so for the first several levels, you're kinda locked into your feat selection.
