Personally, I can't stand elemental melee sets that force us into using pseudo-weapons. Molding a concept around glowy/burning/rocky/icy bare hands is much more flexible of an option, plus I think the concept of a sword-shaped flame dealing partial lethal damage is moronic.
Personal preference, I know. Still, I'd prefer psi melee to be weaponless until we get power customization.

I agree mixed weapon/fist sets bug me no end of course they could make use of branching power sets to give us the option of all weapons/all fists/a mix of both
I guess psionic melee could give the term "mind f**k" a new meaning 
Tier 9 power

Yeah me too. This is why my Fire/SR stuck at the same level since Double XP. On my tank i don't want to get that Fire Sword powers even if they are most powerful ones or not. They just look ugly.
Drain Psyche could be replaced by Mind Control's Lift, oir whatever the damned power is called.
That way it would have a similar effect to Katana's Soaring Dragon.
Just a thought as Drain Psyche is a wee bit overpowered as a melee power,imo.
Why not suggest Storm Melee or Sonic Melee? It's just as bonkers as this!
Okay, okay I know, don't hijack, I was just saying is all.

[/ QUOTE ]But we already have a set that's essentially the same as the first (Electric Melee) and one that has the same sound and visual effects as the already-in-game Sonic Melee powers used by the Goldbrickers in Cap au Diable (Super Strength). :b

I get it, and I really am not arguing here, I just wanted to say... electrical isn't the same as storm at all.
Anyway, we're NOT hijacking this thread, it's about the wonderful wacky world of psionic melee (Whatever that is!?).

Ok, How about this:
Psionic Weaponary
* This would use weapon customisation, alowing a choice of a wide range of slashing weapons (daggers, swords, axes) all of which are glowie auras.
1) Spectral Strike: melee, High Damage (Psionic), +Special (Illusionary Damage, Healback)
2) Psi Slash: Melee, Moderate Damage(Psi+lethal), Foe: -recharge
3) Telekinetic Swipe: Melee (Cone), Moderate Damage(Psi+smash), Foe: KD
4) Psi Focus (Build up)
5) Draining Strike: melee, Foe: -end, -recharge, 20% chance of sleep, Self: +recovery
6) Confront
7) Psi Spin: PBAOE Melee, Moderate Damage(Psi+Lethal), Foe: -recharge
8) Mental Strike: melee, extreme Psi DoT, Foe: 30% chance of fear, 30% chance of confuse, 30% chance of stun (all mag 3, each check independant, so the target could be hit by all 3 effects)
9) Phantom Weapon: Summon pet copy of players weapon, which proceeds to attack independantly (similar to voltaic sentinal)
I really should do something about this signature.

More similar to the CoT Villain side EB/AV who summons flying Ice swords. One of the demons, cant for the life of me remember his name. Probably has at least two X's in it

why is it bonkers? for some one who's playing a game based on comic books you're being very narrow minded, hell both marvel and DC have (have had) characters that make use of melee ranged psionic powers so why could CoH have a psionic melee set?
and I'm sure with a bit of thought some one could come up with melee sets for storm and sonic
-edit-
come to think of it take a look at Avatar the last air bender has a pretty good representation of what storm melee could contain if you icluded some of those air strikje type powers and a few elec powers and maybe a smidgen of ice/water
also water melee set now theres a idea.

I like it if one of the options could be just glowing fists that would be even better

Not the same as but pretty dam close both make use of electricity in some form and elec even has thunderclap all its lacking is some kind of gust of wind attack.

Problem is, whatever weapon you used, the animations would have to be the same. Which basically would limit it to swingy weapons.
*It's probably worth noting that I think it's quite important that the set should not be 100% psi damage, since quite a few mobs (robots, undead) have very high psi resistance.
I really should do something about this signature.
well considering a lot of the weapon animations are largly the same as the plain old fist animations i recon you could get away with it.
Another option that occurs is a changeable weapon similar to the soul blade character necrid have it change with the different moves would be a fair bit of work but would certainly set Psi melee apart from the other melee sets especially if it was also given that persuade pet tier 9

Hmmm, yes, psychic punch and stuff like that would be a bit odd. So, I would rather expect something like this:
Level 1: Psi-Sword (psi-version of Fire Sword)
Level 1: Mind Probe
Level 2: Psychic Embrace (psi-version of Jacob's Ladder)
Level 6: Concentration/Build Up
Level 8: Scare
Level 12: Taunt
Level 18: Drain Psyche
Level 26: Psi-Sword Circle
Level 32: Greater Psi-Sword
Quite easy to implement since it is basically recycled powers/animations. Plus, it looks like a nice set.

That does look like a good set

Need more Telekinetic Thrust.
