Brutes and the "New" Powersets

[markofantares]

Wondering everyone's opinion on a few sets:

Kinetic Melee

Ice Melee and Ice Armor

Street Justice

 

I'm thinking of a KM/Stone or a KM/Ice

Kinetic Melee has a charge up time on many of the attacks that I don't care for on a Brute, otherwise, loved it.

 

Ice Melee and Ice Armor, I've had reports that the Slow doesn't affect Fury, but I haven't tested it yet.

 

Street Justice.  Tried it on a tank back on live.  Have heard it has End issues, but I never got for enough for it.  Speed seems to move well for me.

A Kinetic Melee / SR brute was my first and highest Incarnate on live.  It's particularly potent on Brutes because every single attack, in addition to building Fury, also decreases enemy damage and increases your own like a mini Siphon Power.  Who doesn't love more damage, faster?

Ice armor was faaaantastic with an io build on a stalker. I think last I looked the brute ice armor is the same except it gets a damage aura instead of hide. If it's the tanker version instead I remember that not being as good.
