NOPE!!!!! Back when pvp was ok, before the nerfs EM took it was very nice, infact it was the best single target damage set on the game. Reason, it had one of the best one two combo's ever, Total focus, followed by a energy transfer that would hit like a second later. So devs changed the way attacks worked versus the time they took to activate. They decided if a power took a long time to activate it was worthy of heavy damage, and if it was a fast attack it had to be moderate at best. So poor energy transfer, with it's fast activation and heavy damage was slowed to 2 second activation, to validate under these new time rules why it hit so hard. Problem being it threw the sets synergy off by slowing it down, and now by the time you get energy transfer off, your opponent can take like up to two actions not limited to but including heal before it goes off.
So short answer NO!!!!! Grab SS and like it, it's really the only viable tank set atm, stone used to be good, but yet another nerf a while back lol.
The funny thing is, even though you seem like one of the whiners that got the changes made in the first place, you're probably still bad..------Macskull on Crop_of_shaolin
