What about energy melee?

I can honestly say I don't think I've played my Energy Brute for more than an hour since this change was introduced. One of the worst changes I feel the devs ever made. Turning a 1 second animation attack to 2.67(!!) is just ridiculous.

One of the first things I did when I resubscribed was unslot and delete my EM/ELA brute. It didn't help that when I came back I didn't like the name/concept either.

Concentrated Strike absolutely ruins it. The "gathering" animation looks like the user is having a seizure, and then after that big show of gathering energy, it finishes with a small pat on the back. The rest aren't too bad, at least.

Of course, that's countered by Total Focus looking pretty silly in Energy Melee, too.

Animations aside, and power level as well, I'd still like to see Energy Melee for Scrappers. None of their current sets really have a good "power armor" feel, which I'd really like to have. Well, Electric Melee, does, but it has sorta the opposite problem of Energy, being a little too AoE focused, and gets a little boring against hard targets, which are my favorites to scrap against.

I have to agree. Until Super Strength becomes available.
