This Electric Melee attack deals moderate Smashing and Energy damage and may drain some of the target's Endurance.

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."

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.
