Ey m8s, just random thoughts here that I wanted to share.

What are y'all's thoughts on the Occult Classes? Ever tried them, and if so how effective or otherwise where they?

I always get a lot mixed replies when speaking of the Occult classes. Some hate them with the burning fires of a thousand suns, others claim they are OP busted and that the Mesmerist in particular is the /BEST CLASS IN THE GAME/ (their words not mine), and others think they are meh, or are really only interested on the Kineticist.

I have only ever seen the Kineticist played. It's single target damage is very, very good. As for the other occult classes, I have seen a little, but few of them have interested me. I have played a Psychic, briefly, and they are very much a sorcerer.
I’m curious what makes you say they are a sorcerer when they are int based. Can you expand on that?

Agree with the kineticist, my first experience was as a dm and someone went gnome fire kinetics. He one shotted everyone but the boss
Perhaps not a face and charisma based like a sorcerer, but they are a 1-9 caster and are limited in what spells they can know. The only difference between the two casters is how they cast spells. Psychic spells usually don't have somatic or verbal components, but have thought components.

Psychics can be shut down by fear effects. Sorcerers cannot, not usually. They are very much the same class, with a few different abilities, is what I mean.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with them and so can't offer an opinion, but I appreciate the inadvertent nudge to go look them up and learn! Thank you for that.
