Knietic Melee needs help

[Lockpick]

I took an Energy Melee stalker to 50 last week and it was pretty good.  Between AS, TF, and ET I was able to one shot even level minions one after the other.  This made progress pretty quick.

 

Once I hit 50 I decided to go back to my KM and see how it compared.  Both have EA as a secondary.  KM is nowhere close to EM.

 

Not sure if I am playing it wrong or what, but I have to hit enemies multiple times to defeat them.  I see everyone say the animation times are fast for KM they don't seem that way to me (except AS out of hide).

 

Is KM as bad as I think it is after my EM experience?

You're not wrong, but much like Street Justice, the Stalker conversion of Kinetic Melee happens to be almost exactly what the set needs: another meaty ST attack and a better Build Up-style power.
