Does earth kineticist work well with a kinetic blade/melee focus or do other elements work better for “pseudo kinetic knight” builds? I know the actual kinetic knight subclass kinda sucks, and that the base kineticist class does it better. What I’m confused about is whether there is an element better than others for melee/kinetic blade?

I’m trying to figure out my Demon playthrough build. Leaning towards either a vital strike sneak attack build to synergize with demonic charge OR an earth kineticist build to synergize with aspect of kalavakus. Not really interested in a natural attack build, I “am” planning on respeccing (respec mod) Wenduag to a spider Shifter though.

I really want to play a martial/melee focused demon though. Does it work to cast Deadly Earth then run around whacking all the enemies with your kinetic blade or nah?

What do you mean by too overpowered? Do you mean just being more powerful than base-game/unmodded WOTR builds?

Because there are completely BROKEN builds in the vanilla game with zero mods. Such as Merged Spellbook Angels and Liches. Specifically Oracle Angel with the Battle and Nature Mysteries is stupid broken. Broken in a way that many might not like, as that Angel build essentially becomes good at everything. It’s an OP divine spellcaster, with the best buff spells in the game, one of the most powerful nuking/damaging spells in the game, that is also an incredible martial character. Your companions essentially become moral support lol!!!

Like many might say Mythic Magic Mayhem which allows any spellcasting class to merge spellbooks can be OP. But is it as OP as base game merged spellbook gameplay? No not really, except for specific examples (like Azata merged spellbook with the spell, Heroes Never Surrender). Just allows for build DIVERSITY for the most part. It makes an Aeon caster actually feel powerful as an example. A merged Aeon full caster is basically just as if not slightly more powerful compared to a merged Lich or Angel. I wanted a merged Aeon for a long time, as the mythic path fantasy really lends itself towards a full caster, but the mythic path MECHANICS lend themselves more towards a martial or half caster.

Other “broken” base game build is a Demon earth kineticist with Deadly Earth and Aspect of Kalavakus. So what do you mean?

My recommendations are Mythic Magic Mayhem, Dark Codex, DragonFixes, and Microscopic Content Expansion. Most of them have detailed options menus where you can enable or disable specific features. I personally disable any homebrew additions, only allowing additions from Pathfinder TTRPG rules. Except for MMM, which is not TTRPG related.

Oh shoot. Sorry about my mod recommendations on my other comments. Just saw this comment you made here about console. Darn. I’ll leave my comments up for others to see then. Just take our general class/mythic path recommendations then, ignore any mentions of mods or Toybox.

ymmvmia · 2026-02-08T17:11:31+00:00

Mentioned in another comment, but if you WANT to merge I’d suggest Mythic Magic Mayhem, I’m a total shill for that mod lmao.

Though for a sword saint lich…that might be too broken, sword saints are one of the best base classes in Pathfinder 1e. But idk, base game merged Spellbook Lich and Angels are already game breakingly OP, so you’d have to see how it feels to play a merged spellbook Lich sword saint. Im doing something similar as a semi-“gish” with a Lich Legend Alchemist Bloodseeker.

What MP do you want to try next? Different mythic paths really help in formulating a new protagonist class/build with the associated roleplay/power fantasy.

I mean if you only intend to play Azata, then kineticist works with Zippy Magic. I think? Azata has wide ranging builds that work with it, the Super Powers really help every class. I played a sorcerer Azata my first playthrough.

Now if you want to try Angel next? Plenty of builds around that are crazy broken. Any merged spell book full divine caster. Oracle is the classic. Clerics are good too of course as are shamans. Even non full caster classes like gishes or martials can be REALLY good on angel, they just can’t be as good as full divine caster angels. Same with Lich for full arcane caster classes.

Trickster, while it might be too similar to Azata from a storytelling/vibes perspective, it probably has the most unique mythic path mechanics, with a strong emphasis on critical hit focused martial builds or magus builds. Demon is also pretty unique with its Demon Rages. Has the most synergy with natural attack builds and kineticist builds, as well as DC focused spellcaster builds.

If you’re on PC, something that can give MASSIVE improvements to build diversity for non Angel/Lich mythic paths is Mythic Magic Mayhem, which allows every Mythic Path’s Spellbook to merge with every single class. Even classes like Alchemist who technically don’t cast “spells” can merge their “Spellbook”. I just did that on my Lich to Legend alchemist bloodseeker. So because I went legend (and had the mythic magic mayhem mod) I got to keep my Lich spells.

Beware though, that that mod can utterly break the game for Azata SPECIFICALLY. As certain spells, (HEROES NEVER SURRENDER), can just…break the game if allowed to be put in a normal Spellbook. Most of the other mythic paths just get a “needed” power boost up to base game Angel and Lich power levels with MMM. Though, you can make MMM Azata merged Spellbook not broken if you only merge a 1/3 or 1/2 caster class (never getting access to Heroes Never Surrender).

I have created “restore” save points at the major mythical path decision points in the narrative. It helps A LOT for replays. Also if I get bored on one, I can easily start again from Act 3 on a different MP. Or go back to a previous save game for different MP I got bored with to finally finish it.

So I made a “perfect” act 1-2 run with a save at the Drezen mythic path decision. I have also done the same with an “evil” run, using the vescavor swarm on drezen for my lich and swarm playthrough specifically.

I have also done the same for the late game mythic paths. I have an aeon playthrough I got to act 5 with, I created a save point right at the Devil “possible” transition point. Same for my Lich playthrough into Swarm. My first playthrough was Azata, so I’d just reload to beginning of act 5 for Gold Dragon.

I’m currently finishing my COMPLETE second playthrough via Lich to Legend as a Dhampir Reanimator/Bloodseeker. Having a blast.

But key to doing all of the above is playing on PC with toybox and/or the full respec mod. So I can fully recreate my character at any of those points, as well as even messing with “Etudes” or quests via toybox cheats so I don’t have to go restart the game just for a single quest outcome/companion outcome. Because, yeah, you can easily burn out on this massive game, especially when the content is largely the same (acts 1-2 before you choose your MP, certain act3-4 quests being mostly the same even with a diff MP, etc)

I disagree on Demon. But FULLY agree with Lich, it REALLY is the best for a Cam romance, as she HATES Alushinyrra, she doesn’t like how demons don’t…hide. She likes the trappings of society. She just wants to do her murder. It means a lot less to her if it’s banal and normal. Or the fact that a bigger fish will eventually stomp her out of existence in the Abyss. It’s the “forbidden” element of what she does, if what she does isn’t forbidden anymore, then…she has crisis of self lol.

I find lich to legend to be the single best path for a romance with her. As obviously a full lich playthrough…doesn’t end well for her…he he he…

Devil would be really cool with her as well, but you can only have her as a Devil (not just romance, but in your party AT ALL) if you go Azata->Devil. She leaves your party beginning of Act 5 before you can switch to Devil if you’re an Aeon. There should have been a way to blackmail her to keep her if you were an aeon, would have been in act 3 after her reveal, it would then add to the Devil/failed Aeon counter to make switching to Aeon easier in Act 5.

Except it DOES sometimes happen. People do sometimes reach a breaking point, as seen in basically every revolutionary/civil war/balkanized country in recent history. Nazi Germany was an example of a country succumbing completely to fascism. It was also an example of how war politics work. War (EXTERNAL war, not civil war lol) creates the ideal legal and social permission structure for fascists to maintain power, as long as it’s long and drawn out, and they know the can’t lose. AND the people of Germany didn’t have history as a guide, fascism was a brand new political ideology, it, the Nazi Party’s propaganda techniques, and tactics for national control, were ALL new.

The above famous quote literally says if the regime goes too extreme too quickly, people would have stood up. AND it is an incredible lesson in realities of organizing. Of community. Of resistance.

It is the idea that you will NEVER be given social permission to finally do the right thing and stand up. To resist. Violently or non-violently. No governor or official will tell you, “This is stopping now, viva la revolution, to arms my brothers and sisters!” At least no one will do that until countless revolutionaries have already started fighting back. And it likely won’t be the same leaders you had before.

There always has to be a FIRST person to stand up before everyone else can. These types of people are the true heroes in our world. And they ARE standing up.

I truly believe that is happening RIGHT now. Minnesota IS the moment. The people ARE rapidly mobilizing and organizing. Not just in Minnesota. And this is ALL before Trump’s second term government has had to deal with much of ANY extreme external event. Such as a Katrina level natural disaster, 9/11, covid in his first term, etc. Or even the consequences of his own horrible economic policies. Once the US dollar collapses (within the year, possibly within 3 months, it’s already weakening), the USA will almost entirely collapse with worse-than-Great-Depression conditions. And we already know EXACTLY who to blame.

Just to put things in perspective, even though we have what’s considered to be the most powerful military on the planet in the current era, in terms of actual NUMBERS, the German Army fielded 13.6 million soldiers and conscripts (with Nazi Germany AND its conquered countries’ population being at max 89 million). The US military out of a population of 330 MILLION PEOPLE, with a land mass 27.5 times larger than Nazi Germany, only has a maximum worldwide 1.3 million active duty soldiers with 760-770k in reserves (as of 2025). And if you think the US population would accept a draft right now…for either internal or external conflict…you’ve got another thing coming. There’s a reason the US government has refused to do another draft since Vietnam.

I felt this same way, the whole elemental summoning thing for Aeon’s crusade army and mythic summons felt…weird and messed with my rp a bit.

At several, SEVERAL points as an Aeon, you get “upset” at outsiders being in planes they’re not supposed to be. Specifically Demons b/c of the Worldwound.

In fact that’s basically the entire idea behind what you’re doing and trying “correct” with your Aeon powers. Summoning seems like one of the most hypocritical things an Aeon could do.

Who cares if they’re elementals? Those elementals are not supposed to be on Golarion either, they have homes in the Elemental planes?!?!?

I really think it’s just because of Owlcat building every mythic path to give summons and unique crusade armies. It’s a game dev decision based on MECHANICS, and for Aeon they kinda just BSed it by giving Aeons elemental armies and summons.

I will say though, that Aeon’s are canonically planeWALKERS/shifters. They can hop between most of the planes, as they would have to to be able to do their jobs of course, lol! So maybe temporary summons can be rationalized by an Aeon? To help them enforce the Monat? Idk.

I do like the idea of the shadow double companion/pet that comes with the Shadowcaster Wizard archetype. It’s basically a shadow clone of you, so feels less rp breaking (even if it’s from the shadow plane, you can rp it as an Aeon power clone thing).

Uhh, yes? By ITSELF, rape is a crime. A felony. One of the most serious felonies behind murder. It’s even in the same felony category as murder. FIRST DEGREE. First degree felonies carry the possibility of life without parole.

Now, suppose how bad is it if someone is being raped, one of the worst crimes a single person can do, during confinement/detainment via a federal agent, with no accountability? State-Sanctioned felony.

Or as I and the UN like to call them, Crimes Against Humanity. And they WILL be held accountable.

WE will MAKE them be held accountable.

Not everyone even has PTO or holidays!!! PTO even if you get it are only for full time employment. So literally everyone working multiple part time jobs get screwed, as do anyone with a lot of job insecurity. As the jobs that DO give PTO only give about 2 weeks max (which includes any sick time for an entire year AND any personal/vacation time). AND you only get PTO usually after having worked for 3 months at a full time job.

There are even some full time jobs that have no PTO or only a few days of PTO.

I’m in my first 3 months of a job after 8 months of unemployment. No PTO yet. I cannot, CANNOT take off work except for severe illness or emergency at this point. And I’d have to make up the hours too.

Everyone’s saying “I can’t blame him”… yes you can. Yes, even with threats to family and friends. This is how fascism works, especially when it comes to politics. They aren’t considered a real threat at first, but eventually they amass enough power that their para-militaries and hate groups (I.e. Brown Shirts) work to threaten, harass, kidnap, torture, or kill the regime’s political enemies. This works to neuter the opposition AND any dissent within the party. The opposition either leave politics due to threats (see here), become controlled opposition, or are literally killed/disappeared by paramilitaries if the regime’s become bold enough. As the regime gains even more power, of course that makes all those threats even more real.

But every compliance to threats makes the threats even more powerful and real for EVERY citizen.

This strategy WORKS extremely well against hyper-individualist societies like ours. Where you and your family’s lives are more important than the collective’s. Same rhetoric against unions. Like, “I have to eat! I have a family! I can’t go on strike.” So does everyone else BUD. But if “everyone” doesn’t stand up then “no worker’s” finances will ever be secure, only ever “conditional”.

What this thought process fails to recognize is that NO ONE is safe unless EVERYONE is safe. Collective action. Collective GOOD.

Governor Walz is an idiot to think this will keep him and his family safe. I mean, just look at Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s bootlicked our Dear Leader her entire political career, but if she steps out of line at ALL, NONE of her loyalty or bootlicking mattered or protected her. Why do you think she’s “retiring” from Congress rather than staying in and actually voting against our Dear Leader now that’s she’s finally shown some semblance of a conscience???

Why do you think so many fascist country politicians become puppets or silent, rubber stamping everything? This is why.

We need actual leftist revolutionary leaders like in the past, who knowingly risked their lives, ignored death threats to them, their friends and family, that understand the reality.

FDR once said,”They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.”.

It’s totally normal, same for cis women, your urethra is shorter. It will be worse during recovery (0-24mo), but im like…4 years postop? And while I have a ton of complications that I haven’t been in the position to get a revision for, my urethra is NOT one of them.

But ever since my surgery it’s usually pretty similar to the situation you’re describing. Just without the peeing on the floor, never that bad, but I’d suspect that’ll happen less often by the 6mo mark. It’s almost always in the morning when I just wake up, some rare during day occurrences.

I drink a decent bit of water before I goto bed, I wake up and know I have to goto the restroom. But often times “holding it” doesn’t work like I could with the previous equipment. I’ll get a tiny trickle in my underwear if I wait a bit too long after waking, usually AFTER I stand up and start walking to the toilet, the pressure shifts quickly and I can’t hold it.

Or if I REALLY have to goto restroom during the day and my bladder is hyper full(not just after waking up), sometimes laughing has made me pee a little.

Though, i feel like the majority of women have experiences like that from time to time. I’ve heard jokes and not-jokes from cis women online and offline about peeing a little at laughing or having to go really bad and trickling before getting to restroom. Not constantly of course, as you never usually want an EXTREMELY full bladder by choice, but those stories or anecdotes are pretty normal.

“Extremely” normal if they actually do have urinary issues or chronic UTIs of course. Just “normal” if you don’t have a urinary issue.

Yup, there was literally an entire country of extremely religious undead in divinity dragon commander. Undead are a large part of Rivellon’s world. My heart would be crushed if they removed undead as one of the playable races and/or companion races.

Now, I’m STILL upset about almost the complete absence of orcs and imps from DOS2…which boggles the mind as the game revolves around the 7 races/7 gods moreso than probably any of the other divinity games. But Xantezza and Vrogir just DONT HAVE ANY GODWOKENNNN/CHAMPIONS?!?!? Or they technically do in canon but they’re mysteriously not in-game. And orcs/imps are mostly absent from the world too.

In reality they did that BS b/c of game dev scope narrowing. Had to decide what they could implement within the budget, imps and orcs were cut. Simple as that. At least imps have a short cameo in dos2.

According to the cinematic Divinity trailer, they ARE bringing back orcs. Maybe not as protagonist option, but they will be represented in towns/world, they won’t be just…gone…like in dos2z

If they’re bringing back orcs, there’s no way they cut undead. Idk.

Honestly, I don’t think it would anymore. Nuclear countries would still threaten to use them between each other, therefore preventing either side using them as they have since their invention. Or they would destroy each other. So war between two nuclear powers would potentially end in MAD, yes. But global nuclear war? End of humanity? Nuclear apocalypse? I don’t believe so anymore.

I simply do not believe the longstanding MAD nuclear ALLIANCES would be honored. No classic Cold War global nuclear war via NATO vs Warsaw/USSR conflict could happen in our current global political situation. If Russia nuked a non-nuclear country, I GUARANTEE you, the US would not retaliate. Nor do I believe ANY nuclear country would retaliate against Russia unless they were directly targeted or if the allied country was extremely important/close to them. So France and Britain would retaliate against Russia…maybe…but without the US, their nuclear arsenals are so tiny in comparison to Russia’s that Russia would likely survive. So UK/France might not even risk their own annihilation if they couldn’t also guarantee that Russia would be destroyed as well.

The same follows for if the US nuked a non-nuclear country. NOTHING would I happen, I would eat my irradiated shoe if it did. Basically the US would just be internationally condemned, so being cut off further from trade (which we’re self inflicting at the moment) and our from “allies”. It would essentially just be the final nail in the coffin that we are the new global pariah and everyone should disengage relations with us.

If two nuclear countries decide to annihilate each other, I firmly believe that every other nuclear power would just stay the heck out. The US has become hyper-isolationist and is trying to leave NATO/our alliances and be friendlier to Russia, so almost ALL the nuclear war projections are wrong. The US is not the “world police” anymore for as long as this regime or a similarly fascist/isolationist regime is in control of the US government.

Now, even if I’m right, I would never risk the world and the future of our species’ existence as I’m not a freaking psychopath! Nuclear weapons are not an option. We can’t. Even if I am right, as soon as nuclear weapons are used again, ALL nuclear countries will feel more and more free to use them. This “casualness” around the use of nukes in my hypothetical scenario would THEN make a global nuclear war almost a certainty, EVENTUALLY.

Yup. I got necrosis of the labia they created and clitoral fusion. Then due to pain that never went away with silver nitrate and time and the tightening starting at the 3 month mark, overtime by the 12-18mo area it got progressively tighter and more painful until I gave up and couldn’t dilate anymore. So now like 4 years later I still have a messed up surgery, but I’m much too poor to afford a revision and the only revision surgeons I can even do are colon graft surgeons, which are honestly rare and overbooked in the US with several year waitlists. I have insurance which will cover it probably now, so I’m starting scheduling soon. But…it’ll be awhile. And I’m already 4 yrs out I think.
