Infernal Cry and Multistrike Supported Skills

With multistrike support, almost no attack can exert effects of warcry skills, EXCEPT for double strike.

Are there any OTHER attacks similar to double strike that are able to exert even when supported by multistrike?

Double strike with multistrike support also cannot be exerted.
Well, according to the wiki, it can:

Quote:
"Multistrike Support - supported skills cannot be exerted, although skills that inherently strikes multiple times, like Double Strike, consume one exerted attack per use of the skill."

I'm struggling to find out what other skills "repeat".
This wording is not quite clear.

Ice crash kind of repeats, Does flicker strike repeats as well?
Does wild strike counts as two hits, thus qualifying?

Are you sure you understood correctly what is written on the wiki?

That is not saying "Double Strike with Multistrike Support can be exerted". It is saying "Skills that hit multiple times only consume 1 exerted attack per skill use, not 1 per hit".

Double Strike swings your weapon(s) twice, but as a single skill use, it would be treated as 1 Exerted Attack.

Vaal Flicker Strike repeats, but I don't think that's very helpful here since Vaal skills already can't be exerted. Flicker Strike itself doesn't repeat unless you hook it up to Multistrike Support, or the Fatal Flourish passive from Forbidden Flesh/Flame.

Ice Crash makes its damaging areas in stages, but it's just one attack where the outer edges of the AoE have a delay before causing damage.

With Wild Strike, the target hit by the melee attack cannot be hit by any of the secondary effects, like the ice projectiles. Regardless of how many enemies are hit by the secondary effect, it is still a single attack, and can be exerted if not Repeated.
I think you are right.
The line states that skills which INHERENTLY repeat, can actually break the rule of repeating skills cannot exert.

I wanted to exert with a multistrike attack, even if once per skill use, I would not mind :(.

I'm not sure why GGG imposed this rule on multistrike, on the best support you can socket for a melee build, ESPECIALLY with slam attacks.

I can understand that hitting 3x times with 3x exerts would inbalanced, but exerting once per skill use would actually make multistrikes worse at exerting...
