It seems a little unfortunate that Slash Dash needs Exalted Blade to be active if you want that ability to benefit from combo multipliers. Exalted blade also can’t be subsumed off if you want to use Slash Dash offensively. It also would have been nice if Arcane Crescendo preserved initial combo after deactivating Exalted Blade.
These things aside, with the recent buffs to melee Excalibur is significantly stronger than he used to be, and it’s nice to finally be free of stat sticks.
