I am thinking Kin/Nrg or Kin/WP.
YMMV---IMOIce Ember
Castle must be part Stalker...Assassin's Striking the thread like that with critical damage no less :O.
:P
Anyway. All of you can ;_; all you want I am rolling one for a Brute, Stalker and Scrapper! I think Kin/Nin Stalker is the build I am the most excited about...well b/c ninjitsu is just pure win anyway.
oh and yeah..

Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
Is Kinetic/Energy Aura the new Strong and Pretty?

As long as I like the set, I'll be making a KM Scrapper. Crits > Fury. :|
Might make a Brute. Probably not a Stalker. I don't like them.

*Ahem, sorry, carry on with your normally scheduled conversation.
Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?
Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?
It's ok Kheldarn, I kinda expect people to hate stalkers...in fact if you say you like them, It tends to make me look at you funny.

To be honest I respect that but I'm still curious about why so many people tend to shy away from stalkers.

I think my only cognitive dissonance would be with the actual words 'brute' and 'fury'. The idea that a Kinetic Melee-er might get more powerful as more energy/force/damage is absorbed and generated in a short period of time... well, it makes really good sense to me.|

So I appreciate your attitude and approach, Castle. Thanks for making it available to Brutes.

This seems like a natural pairing. I never really paid much attention to /EA, was somewhat surprised that it hadn't proliferated blue-side at all. Also, really wish Repel wasn't stalker-only. I know it can be counter productive and is situational, but it really fits the concept and could be fun when used just right.|

So now I must wait and see if I approve of the Stalker version of KM. I'd like to get back to Stalkers, loved my Claws/Nin until the Eviscerate change (just my take, but it really made the set feel a lot different and less attractive in the late game).
Bah, didn't intend to get off-topic. Somehow proliferate Repel!

Depends on what the DPA (will it be roleplay damage like DP or actual useful damage?) looks like. Slow animations aren't looking good for Fury building, though.

Did anyone time these animations or are 'slow animations' comments based on the FX's seen?
Sometimes animations that have a lot of movement can cause people to perceive they are long animations when they are actually standard animation times.

EDIT: We all have an AT we can't stand. I for one Cannot play a Tank to save my life. Oh God, I have tried so hard. the only reason I have one at high level is b/c I love Ice Melee and I've been working on him for 2 years.

But I've just gotten used to looking past AT bias. Now that I can say I play all the melee ATs at least somewhat proficiently, it's all gravy to me. Hyping up one or talking down another, all 4 are just as good as the other.
From what I can tell, most of the animations are less than 2 seconds. They do seem a bit longer when you are not timing them due to the movement like clouded mentioned. The first 2 attacks are about 1 second and most of the others are in the 1.5 to 1.8 ish time frame. The aoe knockdown took about 2 seconds, the same as footstomp. The longer animaiton seemed to resemble soul drain time of 2.37 seconds and it also looked like that may be the build up type power but too early to speculate.
With a kin behind me my Brute is unstoppable
Thanks for making it all one package
