All the melee attack sets are great to make into the next blaster secondary.
Fire/SS blaster, burning down the house.
Sonic/KM blaster, sounds great.
Pistols/MA, kick it up a notch.
Elec/Claws, juice it up.
Ice/Kat, cold steel.
Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.
MA yes, KM no way.
No more long animating secondaries for blasters please.

Kinetic melee animation times:
Code:
Power Animation Time Quick strike .83 Body Blow 1.07 Smashing Blow 1.20 Power Siphon 1.93 Repulsing Torrent 2.00 Burst 2.67 Focused Burst 2.00 Concentrated Strike 2.83
Honestly, it's really weird how universally KM seems to be regarded as a 'slow' set when the animation numbers are generally no worse than most sets.

FSC and Combustion (especially Combustion) are exactly what I don't want to compare to for new blaster secondaries. /Fire has a large number of the most egregious animation times for its powers. The only thing that's worse is /Devices.|

I'd love to see a (or even couple) nice quick, crisp, no nonsense, get the job done, secondaries for blasters (since we don't really have any). Martial Arts or Claws would be excellent in this regard.
If MA went something like this:
Bolas - (or what ever lame ranged mag 3 immob they decide to put here that most everyone wants to skip but has to take anyway) anim time 1.17
Thunder Kick -
Storm Kick -
Cobra Strike -
Focus Chi -
Crane Kick -
Caltrops -
Dragon Tail -
Eagles Claw -
I'd still take it in a heartbeat. What I'd love to see would be....
Thunder Kick -
Storm Kick -
Caltrops -
Crippling Axe Kick - (make it the blaster's mag 3 immob but be unique and put it here in a power that does damage first and mag 3 immob second)
Focus Chi -
Crane Kick - (100% chance to KB for blasters)
Dragon's Tail -
Cobra Strike -
Eagles Claw -
Buddy I'd be there. I'd have an Arch/MA or a Fire/MA so fast the devs heads would spin. It would quickly be the most survivable, high performance, blaster in my stable. I'd be in 7th heaven and it would switch my focus from Doms and Controllers back to my blasters again.

Rage,footstomp, handclap, knockout blow excellent
But blasters won't get a mag 2 area stun, I doubt they would be willing to give blasters an aoe kd.
Rage maybe, you could argue we should have rage by now.

Compare to Electricity Manipulation. They could add the 50% chance tag to the stun on Hand Clap if they needed to. AoE KD already exists for blasters, Ice Patch, Hail of Bullets, and Psionic Tornado.|

Am I crazy or does it seem like Kinetic Melee was almost perfectly made to become the next secondary for blasters.
