At level 60 and above it's much harder to kill enemies with melee attacks unless with abilities like Ash's smokescreen you can buff your damage and give constant crits. Your mods seem haphazardly placed. For the Cronus IMO it would probably be better to buff charge damage using mods that lean towards that.

It also depends on how you play. Mashing the melee button hoping that the enemy dies before you do is reckless. Go in, cut him up than back off when he starts to counter. Charge up as you go back in again and time it just as the attack follows to give him the max damage. For the stubborn ones that refuse to die, mix it up with Slash Dash or Radial Blind to get that extra damage.

I use Ash primarily with Duel Ethers, so I take advantage of the my running speed, higher cutting rate and the double base damage of the slide spin attack. For a single oppenent it's more than enough. Two or more I add in smoke screen to get in the extra 50% damage, mixing it up with charge attacks to give red crits. Any survivors I can mop up with Shuriken.

Hope that helps. :)
