So does that mean Kineticist under performs or is it just bad?

As stated at length throughout the thread, you have to work at it to give a Kineticist top-tier DPS. But it can be done.

But many people consider the class to be more of a generalist/support class (like Bard/Cleric). In the end, whether the class is good or bad depends on what you want out of it.

Note that if you pick up Safe Elements at Level 4, your AoE attacks become much easier to use. And some of them are 30' cones, which covers a pretty large area.

The Protector Tree reverts to an ordinary tree if it is called onto soil. Call on top of a boulder/cobbled road and it vanishes after the duration expires.
