I have a kin/energy brute which is great. But Kinetic melee is better on scrappers and stalkers. Power Siphon is a power I hate. On brutes you cannot get it to instantly recharge with a critical. It is nice how it builds up the damage increase, but you have to hit to get the bonuses.
YMMV---IMO

KM stalkers are amazing, especially with the ATO, now that Stalkers got their major overhaul.

What's your opinion on redraw? Regen is a VERY clicky set, so pairing it with any weapon set will cause a lot of redraw. If you're one of the people who loathe it, avoid the BS/Regen pairing.

Well I don't have much of an issue with that, but now that a few days passed by, I'm considering either KM or SS for Regen. TW has been dropped from the race
I haven't played BS myself into high levels... does it provide any notable damage mitigation? Or is it all about heavy s/l damage? If it provides any mitigation, it might be the better choice to pair with /regen. KM is fun, I have a brute at 50 with it. I believe that brutes benefit the least from KM's benefits when compared to stalkers and scrappers.
Even though you have done it more than once, I still would suggest you pick up a bs/regen. If you are open to suggestion, may I suggest TW/regen?
Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

BS has Parry/Divine Avalanche, so yeah, it gives really good mitigation.

It also has Knockup in Disembowel (Single target) and Knockdown in Head Splitter (narrow melee cone).

If you don't wish to read my story, feel free to skip to the last little bit
So I've been making Brutes, Controllers, and Dominators back to back now for the past week and I finally settled down with an Elec/Kin Controller, but now I'm dealing with the Brute. I wanted to try something new, so in all my years of playing this game off and on (Since i5) I have yet to try Regen, so I say let's toss it on a Brute, since they are my current favorite AT.
So Regen is what my secondary will be, and I've always wanted to try KM since i have never played that as well. So I figured why not pair them together, but then memories from the past brought me to remember the all mighty BS that has came to the Brute side. BS is a wonderful set, but I have played it more than a few times so I'm kinda drifting away from it, yet playing it so many times has me knowing how well it could do.
So all in all I just want to play something that's new and fun and I don't know if I should play a Kinetic Melee/Regeneration or a Broadsword/Regeneration Brute, never played with Regen, but used BS many times.
