With the exception of Electric Melee, every single melee set added after CoH launch uses entirely new animations for all its attacks. New FX as well. The only powers that weren't new were Taunt, Placate, and whatever Build Up equivalent the sets had. When they added Dual Pistols, they already had three dual pistol attack animations from Thugs, that were brand new with Thugs. Didn't use 'em, all Dual Pistol attacks were new animations. New armor sets always had new FX for the attacks. New buff sets, control sets, Mastermind primaries, new FX was the default expectation. Reused FX were by far the minority.
Did it not occur to any of you guys telling me to just not play it that I might actually want to play Wind Control and would be disappointed if they made a Rad Melee/Armor of it?
