Hydraulic Maneuver combat maneuver viability

[Katz]

Would it be possible to make an Undine caster that used the Hydraulic Maneuver feat to perform combat maneuvers, and have it be a viable character?

I think it would be fine. You would probly need to mix it with quickened true strike and othr means to jack up your CMB when you hit the mid levels though.

but quickened true strike followed by hydraulic thrust would pretty much work on anything. Is it thematically cool? yes is it an efficient use of a lvl 5 and lvl 1 spell in the same round? Probably not.

Say I was going to go with an undine sorcerer for this, are there any feats (other than the improved/greater combat maneuver feats) or class dips that would help?

You could also be a Maneuver Master Qinggong monk and get Hydraulic Push/Torrent as ki powers.

This making me think of the geomancer from ff tactics.

It should be viable for a while if you stack improved and greater maneuver, but without being able to stack enhancement bonus or weapon training it's not going to work late game.
