Well it was kind of a bumpy road. Originally it was going to work like a spell caster with focus points and a pool of abilities that shifted level to level, which was kind of so-so and felt underpowered compared to just going with a regular spell caster. Moving to the gather/blast/impulse system opened up it's utility 10 fold! And the class makes you feel useful wether you master one aspect or stretch out to majoring in several others. The hardest part in my opinion was finding an acceptable balance across the elements we ended up with because we initially started with only 4 on the table (the classics) but tried expanding to I think 10 or 12 at some point? Those were some confusing days.
With the book hitting people's hands and shelves soon, im proud of the work we put in, and the whole Paizo team, to bring what'd I would say is one of the coolest modules and expansions to date for the PF2 system.
And to follow back to your original question, my favorite thing is an impulse called Rolling Boulder. It's fairly simple but I find nothing is funnier or scary than a giant Boulder hurling at a foe.
Other than kineticist I haven't heard much. So I'm excited for the new class but that's about it so far. Not enough info.
