	By now Melee styles should [[Item World]] their weapon(s) to ''<span title="Then, shalt thou IW to ten. No more. No less. Ten shalt be the number thou shalt IW, and the number of the IW shalt be ten. Eleven shalt thou not IW, nor either IW thou nine, excepting that thou then proceed to ten. Twelve is right out.

Without imperil, the more expensive Rapier of Slaughter is best. But even a Rapier of Slaughter will benefit from using imperil. You don't have to land imperil on every single monster---getting most monsters imperiled is already an improvement.		By now Melee styles should [[Item World]] their weapon(s) and attach charms. Some melee styles also benefit from casting imperil.

	Melee styles other than 1h will notice some attacks getting parried by monsters. Stunned monsters cannot parry, so club and mace are good options. At high player levels and with good equipment and forging, switching to heavy (power) armor can also be faster in some styles.

	For all melee styles, switching from plate/leather to power/shade will provide a good offensive boost for a slight loss of some defensive stats. Shade armor is better than leather armor in general, because it increases attack damage, has zero burden, and has more evade.
