I have a grav storm troller who is themed as wind control. It actually give me just about whatever I'd want for a "wind themed" toon. Now if I could only get my water blaster to get water spout....

Oh how I pine for thee Utility belt of my fondest dreams

Call it Old School and restore galaxy city!

Out of the Box Seeds is 60 seconds. So every 16 seconds is easily doable. Vines (AOE HOLD) is of the standard type and sporeburst is comparable to mass hypnotize. Terrify is faster recharge than creepers but the utility is pretty close (and sheer coolness goes to creepers I think.) Its just sad to me that the Capstone mind control power seems outdone by the lvl 8 plant control of the same type (AOE Confuse)

How much recharge do you have? Can you get Mass confusion anywhere near Seeds of confusion? I've always thought it odd that plant is better than mind control at confuse effects...

I see AOE DEF from hide gets suppressed if you attack...never mind.

I have numerous weapon melee characters who I'd like to take kick powers with. The fighting pool kick is an abomination.

I see that storm kick has 2 different animations one for martial arts and one for the martial blaster secondary. The blaster one is epic looking id love to trade that one for the crippling axe kick animation (which while descriptive is bleh.) As an aside I'd love to have the fighting pool kick have an option to have another animation. The current one breaks my heart. My Katana wielding ninja should be able to pick up something other than the day one front kick from the YMCA self defense class.

The thing with energy melee as it stands is that it doesn't seem to do anything very well and it doesn't have any synergies that make it perform overall. I suppose I could construct scenarios where the stuns would be better than damage or debuffs but even getting to corner cases with sets where the stun mag could stack I'm left thinking that theres much better ways to achieve a similar result. Its a shame that when playing an EM toon I say to myself " should have just done a fist aura on super strength" to not feel so underperforming.
