"Electricity surges through your body and you can channel this electricity through your fists. Electrical Melee allows you to pummel your foes with various melee attack powers while jolting them with a powerful electric current. Electric Melee powers can drain foes' Endurance and temporarily halt their Endurance Recovery. Some powers may even return a portion of drained Endurance back to you."

=== [[File:ElectricMelee AssassinStrike.png]] Assassin's Shock ===
A signature Stalker attack. This attack does moderate damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage as you waylay your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. Using this power while not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.

However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage as you waylay your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. Using this power while not hidden has a chance to critically hit equal to 33.3% times the number of stacks of Assassin's Focus. Using Assassin's Strike when not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.

=== [[File:ElectricMelee TargetedChainInduction.png]] Chain Induction ===
This Electric Melee attack deals moderate Smashing and Energy damage and may drain some of the target's Endurance. However, this attack also induces an unstable electric charge that may jump to another enemy target. The charge will jump randomly between multiple targets, until it inevitably dissipates. Enhancements will boost the effectiveness of the initial attacks as well as the jumping charge.

However, this attack also induces an unstable electric charge that may jump to another enemy target. The charge will jump to the closest enemy in range that has not been previously hit, until it inevitably dissipates. Enhancements and Fury ([[Brute]]s only) will boost the effectiveness of the initial attack as well as the jumping charge.

Overview

Electrical Melee is a standard power set that is a primary set for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers, and a secondary set for Tankers.

"Electricity surges through your body and you can channel this electricity through your fists. Electrical Melee allows you to pummel your foes with various melee attack powers while jolting them with a powerful electric current. Electric Melee powers can drain foes' Endurance and temporarily halt their Endurance Recovery. Some powers may even return a portion of drained Endurance back to you."

Powers

ElectricMelee AssassinStrike.png Assassin's Shock

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does superior Energy and Smashing damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage as you waylay your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. Using this power while not hidden has a chance to critically hit equal to 33.3% times the number of stacks of Assassin's Focus. Using Assassin's Strike when not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.

ElectricMelee TargetedChainInduction.png Chain Induction

This Electric Melee attack deals moderate Smashing and Energy damage and may drain some of the target's Endurance. However, this attack also induces an unstable electric charge that may jump to another enemy target. The charge will jump to the closest enemy in range that has not been previously hit, until it inevitably dissipates. Enhancements and Fury (Brutes only) will boost the effectiveness of the initial attack as well as the jumping charge.
