Legendary Class DC

[Verzen]

Out of all the classes, kineticist is the one that definitely needs legendary class DC to function properly. Otherwise the impulses will be resisted all the time. Spellcasters have enough trouble with landing spells and getting them to do damage with spells and they get legendary caster efficiency. Having kineticist be stuck at master and not progressing faster really hurts.

If they went to expert with martial proficiency that would be fair, yeah

I definitely would prefer master blast proficiency over legendary class DC, if I have to choose between one or the other.

If kineticist is going to be a con based class anyway, blasts would be better off as spell attacks with the class having legendary class DC/attacks. At high levels you end up with only -1 under a martials to hit (same as it is now with full handwraps and Apex item to str/dex) but also have legendary class DC, 2 higher than now (3 if the plan now is to put Apex item into str/dex instead of con)

At level 19 this is true, but there are many levels before that where spell accuracy is -2 or -3 compared to martials, getting as high as -4! This would swing too far the other way and make elemental blasts feel worthless.
