The anims are very fluid and graceful - appealing to the eye. Just not sure how it's gonna go over as an "attack".
In general, the idea of a "ranged" melee attack is...intriguing.
Watch the waterbenders in Avatar: The Last Air Bender. It's not so much the motions themselves, but the effects that they elicit that make it work as an attack.
Another set with long animations and "meh" secondary effects.
Like DP, I predict another pretty but underwhelming and underpowered set. Will probably sit near the bottom of the barrel in terms of effectiveness.

Hell, Castle already alluded to some sort of 'absorbing' ability or some such effect. At least admit you're jumping to conclusions >_>
If kinetic is knock-back knock-down based is it any different than energy melee?

Wait ... when did they change energy melee's secondary effect from stun to KB/KD?|

Setting phasars from stun.............to kill. 
I hope this powerset has a power like Swap Ammo. A toggle with immediate recharge that controls the magnitude of KB. Well that sounds like a boring power, maybe the toggle sould grant +kb and +dmg.

As far as I know, Energy Melee still does disorient, not KB.

It's not like you work in visual media...

It wasn't so much 'meh' (in my section of the room)--there was a lot of cheering and happiness when they announced the two new powersets, and I think it was more the silence of thinking rather than the silence of meh considering we all laughed and clapped once the guy shouted out "I love you!". And realizing "Oh, that's the end of the video, whoops", given it cut out with no real...indication.|

These guys just kinda sat there when it wrapped, I think we were all left with a big mouthful of Meh).

I know I watched it and mentally winced at the length of the animations. Coupled with the fact that I have no concept for kinetic melee anyways, I wasn't super excited about it. But I know a lot of people talked about it after the panel.
That being said, I'm actually excited for kinetic melee because yay more choices! I dislike melee toons because a lot of the choices are pretty much the same. This looks very different, which is exciting.
And I cannot WAIT for staves! They are one of two of my favorite weapons in real life.

But staves... I'm more excited about staves than I am about any of the 4 powersets in GR
The only MMO I've played where they had proper stave fighting was Dark Age of Camelot, on my Friar, and I really enjoyed it - then my friends convinced me to delete all my Albion characters so that we could all play in Hib together /sigh (sadly we only had 2 EU servers then, we all had higher level Mid characters we wanted to keep, and none of my friends liked Alb) - and I didn't even like Hib much 
By any chance, did I hear correctly? Is Kinetic Melee and Electric Control coming WITH GR or AFTER GR?
