A question about Kin Melee/Shield animations

So I wanted to try out a Shield Defense/Kinetic Melee Tanker, but I noticed the first two Kin attacks are all one handed. Are all of them one handed? Because I'm not sure if I can tolerate one handed animations with Kin Melee.

Thanks.

You can see all the animations for yourself at the tailor or new character creator in the POWERS section.

No, several of them are two-handed.

In my experience, the character creator/tailor only shows you the regular Kinetic Melee attacks NOT the attacks as they appear with the shield active.

And I don't recall to what level I got with my Kinetic Melee/Shield character, but all of the attacks I saw (about four or so) were changed to one-handed animations with the shield. I was under the assumption that they all would be similarly altered.

...
Tenzhi is correct.

And all of the Kinetic Melee attacks I remember seeing on a Shield user are one-handed. I am not positive that they all are, but I think they're all one-handed.

It's sort of cool (especially if you use one robotic arm or something), but I could see not wanting that as well.

On a Shield Defense toon...all of the KM attacks are, indeed, one handed. Seen it first hand with my own SD/KM Tanker and a friends KM/SD scrapper.

Are they brand new animations or do all the powers use the same animation?

Thanks guys.

I feel like the one handed animations would look really awkward, would they not? Especially when you get to the more elaborate ones.

same animations, minus the shield hand

They don't look TOO bad...but you can see that something is missing. They don't really have the same feel to them, but it's passable.
