Not the same thing at all. I think it would depend largely on concept. In terms of damage (completely guessing here), I would assume that both sets are roughly on par with each other, doing mostly smashing damage. Both have a some secondary effects that provide mitigation (MA - knockback, stuns; KM - knockdown, stuns, -dmg). I think MA probably edges it out on damage while KM is more defensive.|

Both have a martial arts type of feel to them. Many of the KM animations look like kung fu, while MA is a hybrid of a number of styles of mostly kicking fighting arts (e.g., Tae Kwon Do)
Both would solo just fine.
KM does energy and smashing damage. It also has PS which is a bit nicer than BU. Thus KM gets my vote.

I don't know about that. From what Arcanaville and Umbral have posted about it's numbers, I think KM is going to easily surpass MA DPS-wise. Also, since part of KM's damage is energy, it will be less resisted than MA's pure lethal damage, so that also gives KM a nod in the damage department.|

So, besides it being all shiny and new, I give my vote to KM.
MA has higher burst damage and a better AoE.
KM has better damage over time from what I've read from posts here.

I actually haven't paid attention that it was doing partly energy damage. So I missed that entirely. I just *assumed* it was smashing damage. My bad.

MA has only 1 PBAoe attack in Dragon's Tail. KM has Burst and a ranged cone in Repulsing Torrent, that's also a KB. *If* you can leverage RT, on paper, KM has MA beat for AoE, but I'd think in practice, MA would be better (and yes, DT >>> Burst). Which is a really, really pathetic thing to say about your set, if MA has better AoE capabilities. *sigh*

I think with the new addition of EC followed by DT with the increased chance of crit, its makes DT even better when it has a huge crit chance. Seenin 3-5 crits at a time in a big group is awesome.
