Are Defenders getting a new Primary in the Expansion?

Sorry if it's been stated elsewhere before, but so far I've been able to find a new primary for every other AT, I was wondering if I just missed the defenders' announcement?

What new primary are tankers getting? They're getting a new secondary, not a primary. Same with fenders.

There are new powersets for every AT but they're not all primaries.

edit: powerset proliferation could prove me wrong, of course.

Other than Fire Blast, I don't believe there is any other set to be proliferated to Defenders.

Fire Blast isn't a primary.

They said 'every at is getting a new powerset in GR', not a primary, a powerset. That includes DP and DS which will be available to many only when GR comes out unless they preorder like some of you did:

Tankers, Scraps, Stalks, Brutes: Kin Melee

Blaster, Corrs, Defs: DP

MMs: DS

Controllers, Doms: Electric Control.

would much rather have therm/fire than dp

PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

I was initially excited last time I heard that defenders were going to get a proliferated primary, I thought we were finally getting Thermal. Alas, they gave us traps. Then, they gave us Dual pistols.

When oh when will we get our thermal defenders?

Kin Melee? where can I read up on this. Hope it doesn't screw up the list of all my alts that I might rather have it for than something else grr. At least with controllers I know I'll want an elec/kin, which my freedom server needs a kin so that works out.

Elec/storm also makes me quiver some, tough choices XD

But kin melee, that could cause some problems GRRR!!!

Demonstration starts at 1:45. There are some rumors going around about it like its standard secondary effect will be damage debuffing while slightly buffing the user's damage based on a power called something like [kinetic strike] or summat which you can hotlink in the game now. The other rumor's that it'll have a slightly longer range than other melee sets. Nothing's confirmed as far as I know though.

They keep mentioning (in various interviews and stuff) the "4 new powersets" coming out in Going Rogue.

I'm hoping that Issue 18 has some powerset proliferation in it.
They need to do something for issue 18 and for those that are not gettin GR.

I can't imagine what else could be included in i18; excepting various bug fixes (maybe.)
