Scrapper, Scrapper have the crit to recharge Power Siphon as well as they make better use of Power Siphon's damage buff.
And scrappers benefit more from the +dmg in AAO. Since it's a def based set, brutes getting better numbers isn't as important versus a resist set.
You can look at power animations by starting the character creator, selecting the appropriate power sets, then going to the Powers tab. Select different powers to see each one's animation.

Oh? They fixed it so you can see the attack animations with the Shield out, then?

I thought so... um. I may be totally misremembering that though. o.o; Now I can't find any mention of it in patches.

Power customization screen shows the defaul kinetic melee animations, even if you have shield as secondary.
Thats why I was hoping to see the animations.

I don't have all of the attacks to make a video of them, but it's basically looking at somebody doing motions with just their right hand while the other just hangs on to a shield. Thinking about Burst, I think it's going to look rather goofy when I do get it. Sigh. I think I've caved to rerolling the build, but I don't have any build that fits the name and I vastly rolled the build because of the name. At least when paired with SS the shield is actually used.

I think the shield make the set lose the fluid animation feeling.
I will go with another secondary.
My concept was a ninja with wind powers... Dont think shield is a good idea, I just love shield charge too much.

I made a Kin/SR Brute using a similar concept. SR's effects can be passed off as a sort of wind shield/buffer zone around the body (although, I've turned off SR's effects on most of the armors since I just prefer no effects on armors when available). I actually really like Power Siphon on her; if you use it at the start of a fight, it's like a turbo-charged fury to get your damage boost started. The Brute/Scrapper decision is really up to personal preference though. The main reason I went with Brute is because I already have over a dozen Scrappers on my home server and only one or two other Brutes.

All my characters
I want to roll a KM/SD scrapper or brute. Concept is using kinetic attacks as air bursts.
What is more effective?
I know all animations are single hand since you got a shield on, tried to find a video on youtube but I didnt. How do they look?
Last thing. Whats the more effective combo to go with Kinetic, either scrapper or brute?
I even though about KM/Ninjitsu stalker, I heard Kinetic is awesome for stalkers but power siphon looks so damn cool for a wind based character...
Stalkers just have the common build up... So I dont know!
Thanks in advance guys.
