Best magic blaster?

[Darsen-91]

Which is for you the best magic (not caster) class / class comination?
- kinetecist
- sorcerer w/o arcane trickster
- wizard elemental specialist w/o arcane trickster
- others?

Depends on how you define 'best'. If you're talking about the ability to just non-stop nuke, kinetecist is likely the best choice simply because they never run out and mostly focus on spamming and modifying that one nuke. They bring very little utility compared to the rest, though.

I see that there are nice controller/debuffer/buffer companion, but no magic blaster.
I'm playing now a sorcerer 3 / vivisectionist 1, and i will go AT asap. I know that caster will shine 10+, but i feel that he would be much better as a support than a damage dealer, especially 'cause elemental resistance everywhere. Without ember's hex maybe my sorcerer would be useless most of the times

PsychoKineticist/1monk is a nuke machine. I'm playing one in midway into act 3 and I can reliably one shot anything south of 150 hp and since i dipped a level into monk i have almost as much AC as my tank. And as a psychokineticist burn doesn't affect my HP pool so I save my burn charges to haste myself for bigger fights. Or just drop super powered max/emp nukes.

aren't you a totally victim of mind controlling effect? with few burn your will save will suck easy. isn't it a problem?
and, in character creation i don't see the overwhelming power (i can't see it either in normal kineticist), is it a but or it there isn't?

I have been mind controlled a few times and proceeded to annihilate wenduag from existence almost every time. Man one time my dude was just confused and he turned around and slapped seelah for over 300 dmg and she just exploded. I fully admit that's a huge weakness of the build. And I don't usually have any burn cost, after using lesser gather power. On the flip side the low will also makes it really easy for Daeran to toss a hold person on me and then dispel the enchantment. But again this is only a problem when I have used up all my burn points, usually i don't.
