You have to Channel for Exalted Blade melee attack to to gain the Killing Blow bonus (x1.5 multiplier for Channeling unmodded and x2 multiplier for Channeling with Killing Blow). Killing Blow's bonus does not apply automatically without Channeling; Life Strike, however, works for Exalted Blade melee attack without Channeling.

Channeling, Killing Blow, and Life Strike have no effect on the wave damage.
