Kinetic Melee concept question

[Phantom Mouse]

I have a concept that calls for Kinetic Melee.  It also disallows a Stalker.  Would I be better off making the character a Brute or a Scrapper?

Procmonster scrapper should alleviate the low damage woes.

[Razorback]

Scrapper if you want to max out damage from your primary, Brute if you want to supplement it with self-immolation.

I pretty much have the same question. I am thinking about going with a def based set that doesn't need set bonuses as much from the attacks so I can proc the ever-living hell out of them.

Tough call. There are arguments for and against each, SR, SD or Nrg... but I'd probably lean Nrg for the extra end and self-heal. But that low DDR.... Edit: Buuut, ageless radial for DDR since your end costs should be covered by energize and drain.
