Personally, I do not find Kinetic Melee all that horrible. I play it just as much, if not more than other melee characters I have. I would agree Power Siphon needs a review and adjusting to allow for the effect to last much, much longer. Some of the animations are a just bit too long, but workable and at least to me fits within the theme of the set. People seem to be forgetting that not every player is a DPS chaser and is looking for the combo that does the most damage the fastest.
