'''Electrical Melee''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s, and a secondary set for [[Tanker]]s. | |||
"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 === | === [[File: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. | |||

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 ([[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
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.

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.

You are able to generate a strong current between your arms and snap a powerful bolt of electricity in an arc in front of you. This melee attack can electrocute all foes within the arc dealing High Energy damage.

Damage from the lightning bolt is superior.

Historical
- This set was added to the game for Brutes in Issue 7.
- This set was proliferated to Stalkers in Issue 12.
- This set was proliferated to Scrappers and Tankers in Issue 16.
- Chain Induction's 100% chance to jump to another target if original target is still alive was broken if an Invention Origin Enhancement proc was placed in, as it would replace the 100% chance to jump value with the proc's value. An example would be if Touch of Death's proc Touch of Death: Negative Enemy Damage was place in. This would change the 100% chance to jump to 15% (the chance for the proc to activate extra Negative Damage). This was fixed in Issue 16.
- Lightning Rod also used to interact with Invention Origin Enhancement procs incorrectly. A proc placed in this power would attack the user instead of enemies. This was fixed but was not listed as a patch note in or before Issue 20.
