Getting over 100% strikethrough is stupid easy. I definitely still like using cleaves though, just not the feat-based ones.

Yes. I usually stop trying to get more when I reach 200%. I find that's good enough.

That's useful to know, is it a fair bit faster to just attack with strikethrough then? Supreme cleave - would you say it's worth using or is it a dps loss? I think in the past I would have just taken all the cleaves and spammed them all in rotation and only attacked normally in the gaps but I've not really done melee in a while


Use supreme cleaves (1/3 and 3/3) until level 12. That's where you pick up GTHF and reset enhancements for tier 5 stuff.

OK, so finally got around to this and so far playing as I'd hope (mainly) but having not played melee for ages I'd forgotten that just because my crit profile is 15-20 x5, that doesn't mean I crit as often as that.

Just talking heroic levels here, but what do you melee guys do to maximise the chances of crit's actually confirming on as much stuff as possible?

The Power Critical feat is an option.

Seeker and Insightful Seeker on items help a lot as well.

Slotting accuracy and fortification bypass are most important for that..

Cheers guys, accuracy helped a lot, can't believe I'd forgotten to slot it. Once I get to 15 I'll have seeker and some fort bypass from sharn stuff so should be better still.

I think I'll wait for a build that uses improved fortification though before I go the power critical route  Wink
