So I was working on this idea after looking at Kineticist, but in order to figure if it would work I need a better understanding on how the Kineticist's blast attack works.
Telekinetic Blast (What's at least relevant for my question) says it flings an object as a ranged attack. Does that mean it counts like a ranged weapon? Do I need to carry ammo with me? Is the 'junk' that I throw around just thematic?
Secondly, can I use Two-weapon fighting alongside my Telekinetic Blast? Like I was thinking I could mix and match melee and pushing infusion blasts to knock opponents away and mess up their action economy.
You know... I don't even know if I'm asking in the right area, since the playtest is closed, I guess I am just wondering what you all think.

The blast is (Sp), so TWF is not an option. Iteratives also aren't possible.
Although my Kineticist is an air-bender, I thought I remember reading that there does need to be "junk" available for tossing.
A naked telekineticist facing an opponent in an empty hallway would be screwed, for example.
Though you can still read up on the playtest forums to find out for sure. They don't close for another several hours.
You can dual wield a Kinetic Blade and something else, but the normal ranged blast can't be used with TWF because it takes a standard action to use.
The Telekinetic Blast requires you to throw something at the enemy, and said something is damaged in the process. It doesn't have to be a weapon, though. You can throw a chair, a piece of rubble, or a doorknob as easily as a sword or arrow.
In reading playtest notes, it looks like most TKs are carrying around sacks of ball bearings, caltrops, and similar small objects with a variety of damage types to use, in case they ever do fight in a bare hallway.
