Okay looks almost done. Good enough for now I think. I'll post a level 1 build with feats, traits and attack/damage later. Maybe not for a few days. I will have to retool the one excel sheet I use for playing to work for a Kineticist. I will still of course be checking this thread. Thanks for the help everyone. :)
Aerial Evasion is level 3 so I can take it at level 6 no???
Therefore, I should be able to use the feat at level 9. Am I wrong???

1st) Magnetic is a great infusion buff for your party. If you have 2-3 or more martial characters that use crafted weapons (not monks, wild shape druid, etc) then that +4 for them to hit can be pretty huge especially for their iterative attacks. Them being able to land more hits is additional bonus "your damage" that they get to do for every hit that would have missed.
2nd) We are at an unfortunate situation at level 7. You do not get your normal odd lvl infusion right here. Instead you get the choice of expanding into a new element or staying in your current one
Expand: You do not get an infusion but you get a new element which opens other doors at later levels. You do get the "Basic xxxnesis" for that element though. This is great if you are going to be hitting 10+ and the diversity really gets going around there (slow due to the -4 lvl delayed growth). Unfortunately the only expand that gives you a composite is water for charged water composite blast, but water isn't a bad expand choice. Any other expand will deny you a composite blast.
Stay in air: You get a choice of either a utility talent or infusion talent (torrent or celerity). But you also get a good physical blast for higher dmg and a composite blast for nova nukes. This is a better choice if your campaign won't be getting past ~level 10 where an expand element starts getting good stuff.
Also, Iron Will would be a great grab. Much better than toughness. Close up your weaknesses. And a bad will save is a bad weakness to have.
It's for PFS. :)
Hmm maybe going to bed at 5:30 last night and getting up at 8 was a bad idea! I did have a nap a while ago but damn I'm making a lot of mistakes. Thanks for the heads up. :)
Okay let's try this again. :)

Okay I'm going to bed! lol Thanks for pointing that out Kemuri Kunoichi
I saw Snyper say 1 but he meant point 1 not level 1.
As for the extra wild talent I'm not sure I'm reading it right.
Hmm now I think it's the level of the talent not the level it's available.
So so a level 3 talent is basically a level 5 talent and thus can be taken at level 10?
Edit: Ninja'ed. Got it thanks Thaago. :)

I really feel like it would have been simpler if they made the infusion "levels" be "the character level you need to take it" not trying to map them to spell levels.
You find yourself asking "at what level can I take this?" a lot more often than you care what the effective spell level of the appropriate wild talent is.
That's really slick Derrick thanks. Void is one of my favourite elements.
Will I use kinetic leap if I have fly?
Now Kinetic blade is an obvious good choice and makes the character more flexible. However, I was aiming to make this character just range and weak in melee...cause I think that would be fun. :)
Any ideas on what infusion to replace it with maybe some kind of battlefield control? Thanks again. :)
Will I use kinetic leap if I have fly?
Assuming you mean Air's Leap, honestly, probably not. Wings of Air is one of the most generous fly effects there is (it's on, unless it gets turned off, then it's a standard action at 0 cost to turn it back on). It is, however, a prerequisite for wings of air and more thematic for the character you're trying to build than the other prerequisite. Though no one would fault you if you took Air Cushion instead because it's more useful.
Though, here's something I'm not sure of. You take Wings of Air at level 6, but level 6 also falls under:
At 6th, 10th, and 16th levels, a kineticist can replace one of her utility wild talents with another wild talent of the same level or lower. She can’t replace a wild talent that she used to qualify for another of her wild talents.
Could you exchange air's leap for air's cushion *at* level 6 *before* you take wings of air (so it's not a prerequisite for anything yet)? If that's a legal exchange, I'd make it.
Derrick had kinetic leap there as well. I was unsure about how useful that would be if I had fly.
