I think insta kills trivialize the game, and I don't want access to any of them on any of my melee due to that.

That is pretty much my feelin' on it. I mean we lived thru the years when ya just ran thru vorpaling all the rubish mob in shroud, then the dc's on insta-kill spells went up and we all seen what that does... Some say the non-named mob do not matter, but my thought be why bloody hell put them in the game then if they do not matter, some say they're a speed bump but really? They're gone in an' eye-blink and they cannot matter very much if they have a life expectancy of a firefly?
The only real encounters with any meaning are those which we battle through ... when we meet encounters over-powered an' plw thru it as if it were practically not there - then you have to ask yourself, why is it there?

Clearly some have forgotten (or were not even here yet) when someone dual wielding vorpal scimitars could clear a room with ease.
Then the pendulum swung to only on 20's not just crits...
The to nerfing all the power 5 with down powering them and shifting to more straight DPS effects than had been the norm as W/P goes to merely cool not godlike.
The pendulum keep swinging...
Whatever, adjust and modify and move on... the game continues, just the best strat keeps shifting...
