Greetings, just wanted to know what you people think about Kineticists wild talents.
Which are the top 3 Wild talents from each group? (universal, aether, fire, water, earth and wind.)
Thanks for sharing your opinion :D

It really depends on what you're choosing them to do, as there are a lot of possibilities. I'll choose one particular theme and then choose three from each following that theme. See if you can guess my theme!
Aether: aether puppet, spell deflection, telekinetic globe
Air: aerial evasion, air shroud (greater), celerity
Earth: deadly earth, enduring earth, shift earth (greater)
Fire: fan of flames, from the ashes, unraveling infusion
Water: cold snap, tidal wave, veil of mists
Universal: draining infusion, mobile blast, skilled kineticist (greater)
Darn it, Mark. Now you're just teasing us with Occult Adventure stuff. Why can't it be end of July already?!

I'm a bit slow, all those talents are new stuff to be included for kineticists? o.O
Yea, Rogue Eidolon (Mark Seifter) is sneaking in a preview of kineticist wild talents in your thread. Those talents he mentions weren't in the playtest and I think only Mobile Blast got previewed previously in the main kineticist discussion thread.

Who, me? Why would you think that simple Rogue Eidolon was a designer or something?
Incidentally, if you'd rather see more on one of these in particular before the end of July, express your preference. That preview blog will have to happen one of these weeks ;)

Aether Puppet has many possibilities, and they all intrigue me.
The Phoenix is so rad I homebrewed a PrC for it.
I want to see From the Ashes.
Oh man! I can't even begin to pick just one. Better list per element!
Aether: spell deflection
Air: celerity
Earth: enduring earth
Fire: from the ashes
Water: cold snap
Universal: skilled kineticist (greater) AND (lesser) if possible.
What about Kinetic Healer?
It seems to outclass all healing spells by far.

I want to know everything about fire, specially unraveling infusion. I hope we get to know more soon
anything with earth....

You mean because it heals just like a lay on hands... plus BURN???

Celerity and Spell Deflection are the ones I would very much like spoiled as I like Aether and Air the most. Also to answer the OP's question the top 3 kineticist talents are as mentioned dependent on the type of kineticist you play. Kinetic Blade/Whip/Fist are the ones that(with investment) will help you output more damage on average.
One of the biggest advantages of the Kineticist is massive amounts of mobility. I can't imagine a Kineticist that doesn't take the special movement type talent (with the possible exception of a Hydrokineticist choosing not to get a swim speed).
As for things I'd want to see in the preview blog, I just want to know if the melee kineticist is still a valid choice. Odd as it is, I much prefer my melee geokineticist exploiting Ride the Blast to any of the true blaster options.

Unlimited uses per day, and with the ability to apply the involved burn to the person healed.
Wings of Air. At will flight at level 4.
Shroud of Water is indeed beautiful.
Wings of Air. At will flight at level 4.
Level 6. The "spell level" is 4.

Ah you're right it is level 6. That's a little better, but still pretty boss.

Oh most definitely.
I'll throw my hat on flame jet being my favourite wild talent so far (playing a Pyro) and with the ignore weight encumbrance (as per Mark's clarification here) I plan on having fun being the fiery carrier (or jet pack at level 10 with greater flame jet) lugging the tank who can't climb or fly from place to place.
I'm glad someone mentioned range -- Extreme Range is wild. Something I have wanted to see for years actually. This is a character who can move 600 pounds at long range at 6th level ... kinda a little bit (way) better than a 15th wizard who can't produce the same effect.
Am I the only one who doesn't understand why Explosion is limited to fire?
It could just as easily modify any element, giving it an AOE effect.
"Fan of Flames" as in spreading around flames as if blown by wind or more of, "Whoo hoo, go fire GO!!"? i think that second one is already baked into the class, isnt it?It really depends on what you're choosing them to do, as there are a lot of possibilities.

ALL OF THEM EVER!
I'm also very curious about Archetypes for this class
Honestly, when I first got the playtest for it, I was rather fond of the idea of a telekinetic character who carried around several bags of marbles to use for his blasts. If the marbles survive, instant trip hazard!
As for wild talents, I like the blade/whip/fist ones, has the potential to be really epic depending on how they survive going to the finished product.
