[QUOTE="G'lich, post: 9834591, member: 7054851"] You did not show me any damage increasement, other than pointing toward few critical feats.. Which highly depends on roll.. And I am looking for "raw" damage increasement.. And if you talking about Light Blade Mastery feat for expanded critical (19-20), I do not meet prerequisites for it.. (So it is a false recommendation..)(Also, I use melee, but I am not physical martial class that depends on Str and Dex.. I am more Int and Wis, for Arcane and Religion, that fits very well in Lich description.. But "my Lich" just like melee combat, compared to other Lichs..) And I actually have this for critical hits, this is from Relentless Slayer: - Lethal Action (11th level): If you spend an action point to make an attack against your oath of enmity target, the attack can score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20. Necromantic Aura (not Lich Aura) has aura "reach" of 5, so it can work well with Halo of Warding.. Monster that can attack only in "melee" can move only 1 square to activate Halo of Warding, so the monster can indeed activate it while starting in Necromantic Aura area.. So the synergy between the "two" exist.. Example: Monster's Turn - Monster start 3 squares away from PC; monster is under Necromantic Aura; Monster move on a square adjacet to PC and activates Halo of Warding) Even if Necromantic Aura "reach" is 1 it would still be synergy.. Because Necromantic Aura does take damage to any enemy than starts it turn within Necromantic Aura, but also it deals damage to enemies that moves into Necromantic Aura "area".. Of course I do not have on-stat MBA before lvl 20.. What for? For some rarely AOO? ..at lvl 20 I get Slayer's Ascendancy, that is why I added it on lvl 20! At lvl 25 come Quicksilver Blade, and later feat Halo of Warding! (..so for you any non AOO based build should take on-stat MBA at beginning?) So I added on-stat MBA when I can use it frequently in combination with other powers/feats.. Before it I just had other priorities..

That is not Avenging Resolution feat.. ?? And of course not changing my Epic way.. [B]You say this is a weak Attack and Damage.. Show me the feat that improves at least one for at least +5?[/B] Listening to suggestion! Because you say it is possible! And by the way, more about damage..
