Overview

Kinetic Melee is a primary powerset for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers, and a secondary powerset for Tankers, that was announced as a feature for Going Rogue. Kinetic Melee powers increase your damage with each hit, as well as decreasing the damage of enemies.

The essence of the Kinetic Melee power set is the ability to take an enemy's strength and use it against him. Using fluid motions that are deceptively quick, the practitioner of this art can stand toe to toe with the strongest foes and defeat them.

Kinetic Melee combines martial prowess with ranged capabilities and is a perfect power set for those seeking a distinctive and unusual hand-to-hand combat experience. Each attack that lands on a target weakens that target's ability to fight back. When a practitioner activates Siphon Power, each subsequent attack becomes yet even more powerful. Combined with the Kinetic Melee power set's knockdown, knockback, and stun effects, the powers in this power set provide melee-based characters with an awesome arsenal of abilities that have never been seen before.

Developer Comments

In a forum post, Castle made the following cryptic remark:

[quoted] Shouldn't Kinetic Melee have an inherent power that makes your attacks stronger the more you are hit?
Powersets don't tend to get Inherent powers. Archetypes do.
That said...you are on the right track, aside from that.
