I can say that my one complaint with Praetoria is that it moves too fast and I kept missing out on content. But overall it is really a melee-players dream. I loved scrapping through it.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Early Praet. teams can be brutal on melee due to lack of energy def/resist. I've seen a number of melee builds just get mowed down on certain missions. Solo, it's easy to get through. The boss level super zombie gorillas as I like to call them can really wreck a melee, or anybody's day when they do the two fisted smack down. I took a stalker though and did almost all of the content for the resistance. Only thing I missed on was the passive resistance final arcs. So far I'm a fan of Kin melee though.
I recently (finally) broke down and bought the Going Rogue pack and rolled a Preatorian(sp?) Scrapper with Kinetic/Regen and aside from regen being slow in the beginning game, Kinetic Melee is surprisingly awesome and refreshing. It's just something new and what I was looking for in a new Scrapper. Kinetic melee is really fast paced in my opinion, you can chain the first three attacks together rather quick and seamlessly.
I like the arcs (except anything with ghouls) in that world and xp moves pretty quick. Glad I made the purchase. Now I just gotta figure out the alpha slot stuff. Nothing really big here, just giving praise where it's due for renewing my vigor in Scrapping.
