Energy Melee has issues, no ifs or buts about it.

Regardless... you can *definitely* make it work.

 

It's not like it's broken to the point you couldn't do your job. It's just that virtually any other secondary will do a better job.

 

There may be buffs coming to Energy Melee at some point, but this is likely months away.

Elec Armor is a great, solid primary. It has strong resistances to near everything, a good heal, great endurance management, and a couple underrated extras (immunity to end drain, resistance to slows).

Well, I have an energy melee Elec armor brute.

 

It works pretty much the same as a tank would just with less HP and more damage basically.

 

Energy isn't horrible, it will still output the absolute most ST damage per click than any set in existance.  It's very slow with a weak AOE though. 

 

It needs a buff and I believe will fondle day get one.  So it's not a bad set to run with for now or the future.

 

If you want the capability to one or 2 shot some bosses energy is still the way to go albeit slowly.

The other set that has something of the feel of the old Energy Melee is Kinetic Melee.  Tried it on both tanker and scrapper, and I think it's a bit underrated.  Solid single target damage and a fast recharging PBAoE.

Kinetic melee suffers from long feeling animations and less damage than EM.  It doesnt feel right to me, but thatd just personal preference, there really isnt anything wrong with it.

I've always liked Electric/Fire, it was one of my mains on live.

Nothing warms your opponent like Fiery Melee.

Its rated # 136 on the power set combos in the Flavor of the Month report, but I really like my Shield Defense/Martial Arts tanker. Tough, decent AOE, looks great comboing MA attacks, and holds aggro like a champ. I never thought I'd like Shield, but I'm a convert. And Tanker MA just goes so well with it to boost Defenses/Damage.

In my opinion, claws is the most perfectly balanced melee attack set between ST and AoE damage output. It goes great with everything. Liked whipped cream or beer.

Agreed!!! However, never together! They go with everything separately,

 

*Holds whipcream in left hand and beer in right, shakes head*

 

Never.... Together
