  • There are Brand-new zones, Nova Praetoria, Imperial City, Neutropolis, and The Underground
  • Kinetic Melee is added for Stalkers, Brutes, Scrappers, and Tankers
  • Electric Control for controllers and dominators

I am not sure what they can do with kinetic melee that they haven't done with energy melee already.

Though CoH hasn't disppointed me yet so I have faith.

I imagine things like the stealing end power or siphon speed of a single target. A melee character being able to syphon speed? thats pretty boss.

edit: I apologize for everything I just said. I am a dirtbag and need to learn my place

Thanks for the video links, MB and J. Can't say I'm too thrilled with yet another long-animation powerset, though.

I'm with Paragon. I would rather have a Polearm instead of a Staff. My Glad in AION has a KA Polearm.

I'd imagine the set, once they begin working on it, will borrow most if not all of its animations from bōjutsu techniques. Or Soul Calibur. I would also expect to see a multitude of weapon customization options, including those items in my wishlist.

It'd be interesting if they added a new status check mechanic to the set as well, a new gimmick if you will. Most staff techniques deal in takedowns and ground strikes, so it'd be a neat idea to have the set do more damage to an enemy that's prone (knocked down). Especially since the set will probably be pure Smashing damage.

This is all assuming, of course, it even goes further than the white board....
