Both sets would be good. I have a WM/SD Brute and it's a very good combination. Dark, however, would be a far more unique combination if that's your thing. It would also be rather interesting as a mini-controller.
I like Kinetic Melee with Fire Aura, as the -Damage stacks nicely with the resistances in the set. The +damage from Fury and Power Siphon synergize well with the new Fiery Embrace-- you will see big damage numbers for sure.
Thanks. Since I'm not a huge melee fan, I think a "mini-controller" WM/DA would fit my playstyle better.
I'm also thinking of rolling a Kinetic Melee scrapper. Will see.
Thanks again.
WM/EA. It's strong AND pretty.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
I just started my second toon (maybe this will be my only alternate toon) as a War Mace toon. I just wish I could have Arachnos Soldier mace choices as well as Arachnos Soldier armor. The toon is as close to looking as a soldier as she can get and she is an Operative who decided to just wield her mace while wearing invincibility enhanced armor. I may add rocket boots. Can't wait to do the cape mission at level 20 to complete the look! When I complete the look I'll post pictures.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get SoA soldier pieces? Even if it's just the boots, belt, chest piece and gloves.

No, those are unique to SoA.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
/DA would definitely be more unique than /SD. Having said that I see lots of /SD brutes, but WM/ seems to be a less common combo than elec, ss, or km.
Either way, WM is smashing good fun. I like that with Pulverize, Jawbreaker, Clobber, and CC I get 2 KBs and 2 stuns. Add in Whirling and Shatter for two more stuns and the mitigation is really pretty good.
Paired with /DA, end management will be fun. Slot for endredux in your attacks while you lvl. Later on it gets easier to handle epic power choices, sets, and such.

If you're more interested in the melee-controller aspect as opposed to straight out melee, I would actually recommend Tanker over Brute.|

The Tanker has:
- HP advantage
- Resist advantage
- A stronger heal in dark regen (due to having more HP)
- Can use OG or CoF without worrying about them hindering Fury.
- Gauntlet, to further cement your crowd controlling capabilities.
Exactly what it says on the title. The question is should I go with /DA or /SD?? I guess DA has more mitigation and I really like the idea of Oppressive Gloom couples with WM's built-in disorients. Then, I hear WM/SD has all the damage. Have you tries any of those combos???
Also, how's Kinetic Melee and what are some good secondaries for it?
