So yeah pretty much the title, im only in the early research stage and could use some help and clarifications on how some of the options listed below interact (obviously some options are redudant or like barb/monk dont work). Also anything that uses acrobatics would be helpful. (ie. goblin roll with it)

Possible Class Combos

Kinetic Fist Air Kineticist/Monk
Kineticist VMC Monk
Barbarian or B-Rager (possibly steel blooded)/Oracle or VMC Oracle/Rage Prophet (mainly if my current healer/tank dies)
Ninja, Rogue or Ninja/Rogue
Sohei Monk (possibly w/ kinetic blade kineticist)
Some dips into vigilante and/or a domain granting class
Bloodrager/Dragon disciple might be thematically appropriate

Being that the Porphyra splats are on the table, have you seen Kineticists of Porphyra 4? Has the Kinetic Lancer archetype that is essentially a dragoon right out of the box.

Spheres of Might has the Athletics and Lancer spheres, which both contain abilities that let you do this

Turns out she does have it and Kinetic lancer is perfect, hoping she'll approve of it.

For now im still open to suggestion for a Paizo content only build.

Ill look into the spheres as well.
