Yes that thing. My bad!
I think I want to call it an elementalist because to me a “kineticist” should be somebody who sends rapidly moving objects (like bullets) towards an enemy.
Well, I don’t imagine a Kineticist being a caster like a Thaumaturge should be a caster by it’s definition alone.
It does sound more like a specialization for a class than an actual class in itself hehe.
That’s fair.
I don’t know why I thought the kineticist would be like an elemental themed spell caster. I think I had read a lot of posts on the paizo forums by people really keen to have a 2e version of it and a lot of talk about its elemental powers/attacks/whatever. And I just mentally jumped to the that conclusion 
When I finally got around to looking at the playtest I was pretty surprised and wondering who the class was for. I think its basically for the crowd of folks who love the MCU but aren’t really into fantasy RPGs and are only playing to hang out with their friends 
I feel personally attacked.

Oh right. I forgot there is also this IP called “Airbender the Last Avatar” that might have inspired the Kineticist. Apparently its very popular and I know @Rando is really big fan 
So Kineticist=Avatar=Blue people therefor one can only be a Duskwalker Kineticist because blue people

putting finishing touches on it, and planning our some progression, but as of this moment I am 75% sure I will be playing a cleric of Brigh, and I think I am going female Elf / Aphorite. Who will likely go inventor for the free archetype, and I am planning to go Time Mage as a second Archetype at lvl 6.
@Rando I envision her as Lawful Neutral for obvious reasons, but I see her more concerned with laws of the cosmos than mortal law. Not that she will be breaking local laws herself, but willing to turn a blind eye to that sort of thing. And maybe if the greater flow of the machinations of the cosmos require her to break a mortal law, well then it must be done for the greater laws in play. If that is an issue let me know.
edit 95% sure i will play the cleric, have her advancement penciled in to lvl 12
I’ve been doing some thinking/soul searching and I’m tossing around a couple other character ideas as well. I don’t know if I want to play my kobold sorcerer delusions of dragon grandeur as a bad pyromaniac so I might play something else, but not sure yet. Still mulling it over. I’m actually kind of interested in the Kineticist class, but I don’t want to play test it, play testing the Magus was enough to turn me off of playtesting. I was watching this cute kids show with my nephews the other day and it’s called Bluey, it’s about a family of cattle dogs. I am now leaning back towards my Shoony (looks like a cattle dog, not a pug though) catburglar/thief character idea, so I am working on that one in concept also.
Awesome! Heroforge guy.
With everyone else doing it i jumped over to hero forge too.
Though I might have my daughter use it as a reference and draw something for me, I couldnt really get any glowing motes of power on her, or a shimmer like Aphorites have.

Well let me know if you are going to play a thief and I will try to think of something else. I don’t like playing the same class as another player.
Actually if I play a Shoony I’ll probably go Bard as sort of the teller of the tales and singer of the songs of the scoundrels, rogues and seedier types of the realm. And definitely a “face” type character for deception/persuasion and that sort of stuff.
But I’m still deciding between that or the Kobold Sorcerer who is definitely an arsonist.
I used to think the same, but with all the different paths and archetype options I think at least the core classes have a lot of options that can make two characters of the same class hugely different. As long as you are looking at the rogue as something more than a skills monkey. I had two completely different rogue builds in mind at a couple points. The first was a ruffian build, crowd control and off tank, probably had stealth but would not have been his primary skill to raise. The other was a very sneaky boi, all stealth and thievery I think he was a slyphe or something like that, though I cant recall why I made that choice.
But there are exceptions to that too, unless a pair of wizards are being careful there is potential for alot of spell overlap no matter what class or archetype choices they make.
Sure, I get that, but there are also a lot of similarities with the same class, regardless. It’s just a quirk of mine that in a small group, the more diversification the better, imo.
Well the more I think it over and look into it I just can’t really make my Shoony cat burglar concept to work, it was more of a flight of fancy than anything else. In fact I can’t really come up with a Shoony concept that works for a more outlaw character. I won’t be doing anything rogue at any rate regardless of what character concept I end up playing so you are free to do rogue with no character class overlap.
Everyone’s flip-floppin’ is makin’ me wanna 'turge.
