Gotta Say, Glaives Feel Pretty Good Now

I know people have been playing with their rocket-assisted sidearms as of late, but have you tried using a glaive recently? Times sure have changed. I remember when glaives had inconsistent hit registration that either forgot to deal damage or forgot to give you shield energy. Or both. And I remember when they forgot how to melee after shooting for a full second. All of that doesn't really happen anymore. And they passively generate shield energy just by holding them in your hand like a menace. Now of course they aren't going to be good at one-shotting or doing DPS, but I've found them to be pretty fun in both PvE and PvP since this season started. The one I was playing around with was Unexpected Resurgence. It felt viable in the Crucible. I even used it in Trials last weekend. Didn't go flawless, but got pretty close and the glaive I was using felt pretty good. I also used it in The Coil activity earlier yesterday and managed to complete a run without too much trouble. That extra shield energy in PvE is very nice, especially when a boss is about to quake the ground. I felt like I could push a little bit aggressively with it and succeed. It kinda makes me want to come up with glaive ideas to post on here. I've never had so much fun with a stick on Destiny 2 before.

  • I still find Glaives just mechanically weird. A special ammo melee weapon would have been fine on it's own, but they all shoot projectiles for some reason. And having a shield like swords makes sense as melee weapon surrounded by guns, but the shield is stronger? Than the sword that uses less available heavy ammo? (Correct me if I'm wrong after recent sword updates) And their physical model is very clunky, just seems too long.
