I know that SS is more popular in this situation, but as far as dealing high damage goes, how does energy melee compare?

It doesn't.

Ok thats pretty much what I was looking for, but looking at the stats, it seems that knockout blow does slightly less damage than total focus, with a slightly longer cooldown, but it has about a .8 second faster cast time, what makes super strength so much better?

Rage and a ranged attack.

Not to mention the fact that it doesn't take a week and a half to finish one attack chain on ss.

Rage is basically a permanent buildup. So when you look at numbers, you have to consider the SS numbers with +80% damage.

On top of that, even epic pool attacks become stronger. And you get constant +tohit for all your attacks, as well.

Yeah, EM just doesn't compare anymore. It's still playable, but if you're making something new, there is literally zero reason to make anything but SS. I13 balance ftw.
