A quick and not very scientific analysis:
- Melee Core - Super Reflexes could really use some resistance and regeneration to be even more survivable
- Melee Radial - Don't you hate how everything runs away just as you're about to kick them in the face? Put a stop to it. Plus defense and regeneration.
- Assault Core - Moar damage
- Assault Radial - Moar damage on damage-capped teams

I tested all of these in beta with my kat/SR. So far having rebirth destiny and assault core worked better in most situations than having melee and any other destiny (before they changes hybrid to half-toggle though melee core was making so much difference it was look like a joke. I left my toon between +4x8 DE mob and took a few drink and grab a bite than door ranged opened it talk with my friend for a while remembered toon rushed back and see not only he was still alive he also had full heath). I didn't see damage cap much but I guess it can be take while doing itrials.

My MA/SR is just shy of iCap as is, so I'm going with Assault. I'm going to try Core first and then lazily build Radial as time permits to try both.
I've got the third t3 over slotted currently (inner right), and haven't really noticed a big difference.
All in all I've been pretty underwhelmed by Hybrid on the three characters I have it on currently, and also by the Magi trial, so I've been unmotivated to unlock and slot it on my stable of 50's. If it weren't a pre-req to keep going up the incarnate tree I'd probably skip it on most of em.
I would pick assault if you want more damage, and I count melee more as a heal over time than anything else, so could be used if you find yourself biting off slightly more than you can chew, but not too much more.

I thought the taunt aura would be a priority for any of the armor sets without one?

Is that taunt part of the always on component? Or would you only have it 50% of the time, which makes it pretty useless.

Taunt is not part of passive boost so like you stated it is pretty much useless %50 up time one. Also lets see which melee AT's don't have a taunt mechanics scrappers and stalkers. Both always have more room for more damage rather than taunt.

Hello yall,
Let me preface this with the fact that I've been away from CoH for 6-8 months. Wondering what Hybrid to take, have it unlocked and enough stuff laying around from before my absense to get to at least t3. Seems like melee is a no brainer, but the damage one, or even the support ones seem usefull, especially in trials.
Also, the scrapper specific IO set wasn't out, so thinking about a good place to put it, still unsure how boosting it works (sorry forgot name already, have one of the items, but one only atm).
Below is my build atm. Notes would be appreciated, but really just looking for the hybrid to complement it. I'm thinking the melee right side one, but I'm here for suggestions.
