It would be great if we all raised our voices for the Bungie Barons to hear this cry of complaint, make Glaives, of any kind, worth using!” 😳. Its funny, I ran this weeks NF only to receive a Glaive. Has chill clip and something else, but it doesn’t matter because I have a max of 5 shots before empty and Glaives just….well, you know. Bungie Barons, either make them worth using or remove them. I promise to cherish them if they were not so underwhelming and bleech.😂

Glaives have strong defensive utility. The DR from guarding is something like 97%, and can be sustained for your entire reserves. They are a fun playstyle in anything under -20/25 power. I do wish they were able to create orbs from melee kills, through a mod or intrinsically. Hoping the rework coming next season does them justice, and allows them to play a more balanced role. Here a some build options for the melee aspect that are quite strong and fun. I use them in expert onslaught/activities. -Karnsteins on stasis warlock with winter bite. -Renewal Grasps with any Glaive, winter bite works best. -Icefall Mantle with any Glaive, winter bite works great. (I love winter bite LOL) -Wormgod on strand Titan for high damage and moderate sustain.
