I’m designing a kineticist and was thinking of going full evil and necromancy direction with void. I’m not a fan of Emptiness so I was wondering with elemental purist can they take the expanded defense and select another defense ability as if not taking that archetype?

Never multiclass a Kineticist except maybe Evangelist PrC.

I just recently found this prestige class and I have a few thoughts on it. First I love that they made one for this class, but it doesn't appear that great. I think the archetypes of Kinetic Knight and Elemental Annihilator would benefit best from this.

I would only use it if I was playing a Kinetic Knight and preferably with Mythic.

I am playing a 12 lvl Earth/Water kineticist at 5th mythic tier. I was considering using a blade I got as a second weapon. I looked and saw a back and forth if it can be used with a kinetic blade for two-weapon fighting feat. My dm won't allow the duelist feat from path of war so no 2 kinetic blades, but that got me thinking. When I get the double metakinetisis, misspelled I know, could I possibly do that? Also, I don't see a reason why couldn't use a light blade with the kinetic blade. I would just not be able to use gather power while wielding the blade.

Good question! It is not possible without the doubling metakinesis. Kinetic blade says that you can only use it once in conjunction with certain types of actions, and kinetic whip is "as kinetic blade, but..." so it still carries that restriction of being as kinetic blade, which means it can't be activated during an action in tandem (since you couldn't have activated blade again).

I am joining this conversation way late. Recently playing a kineticist in a mythic campaign I found a way though there is a lot of grayness to it.

Champion Path Ability
Overcharged Blast (Su)
Whenever you use one of your kinetic blasts, you can expend one use of mythic power as a free action to apply one additional infusion to the blast, beyond the normal limit of one form infusion and one substance infusion per blast. Additionally, whenever you use this ability, you reduce the total amount of burn you would accept from the blast by 2 (to a minimum of 0).
