While soloing Challenge of Elders this week, I stumbled upon a glitch that I haven't seen addressed at all:
It appears as though the perk "Embrace the Void" on Voidwalkers, which is supposed to trigger Energy Drain and start health regeneration, only half works if you have a sword equipped, completely ignoring the Life Steal portion of the perk
I've included a short video showing the glitch in action. You'll see me getting kills with my grenades with and without my sword equipped, and Life Steal only triggers when it is stowed.
I did some additional testing on Earth Patrol and found this glitch happens with and without Nothing Manacles equipped, and whether the sword is Legendary or Exotic
While I can see how situational this can be, I do hope that this glitch gets fixed soon.
Edit: Apparently this glitch also prevents Apotheosis Veil's health regeneration from triggering if a sword is equipped while casting a Super.

18 RepliesLMAO IT IS BECAUSE YOU CANT PUNCH ANYONE WITH A SWORD IN HAND NOOB!!!! its not a glitch just common sense. you cant touch someone to drain their health with a damn sword in your hand lols for days
-
5 RepliesIt doesn't work because you can't melee when you're holding a sword. With any class. Just stahp. [spoiler]stahhhhhhhhhhhp[/spoiler]

5 RepliesThanks for bringing this to our attention. It's a really specific bug with healing perks not working that is caused by the "Tempered Light" perk on Swords. Our dev team have confirmed that this is an issue and are currently investigating a fix. https://www.bungie.net/7_Health-restoring-perks-do-not-function-properly-wh/en/Help/Article/44886

3 RepliesWoW there is a whole lot of stupid on here. A lot of you should rethink the game you are playing. It says health regen on energy drain effect. Not on melee

Edited by SlowDancer13: 6/24/2016 3:17:06 AMDuring Challenge of the Elders, mine glitches and give me life steal in addition to soul rip... It's kinda nice.

6 Repliesit looks like the game cant access these abilities because the sword occupies the melee ability slot, which is where it would normally "check" it to add them.
-
Swords increase your armor... aka max health. So the bug is likely related to that.
-
If it involved silver and/or was a benefit to players, it would have been fixed a long time ago

3 Repliesin 6 months bungle will indeed acknowledge this problem exists but will be inable to fix it in the games current state. this bug will be fixed in destiny 2 though so preorder now and get a black version of no land beyond

Glitch , looks like the times it didn't proc was because you were on your cool down timer.
-
That's y the helmet doesn't work. I tried with rocket launcher I get health back.
-
4 RepliesMy guess would be because Energy Drain is your melee. Equipping a sword takes away your melee attack.

6 RepliesThis was discovered a while ago, it also cancels the Cauterize proc from Sunbreakers.

1 ReplyYou need to put in the tag for "bugs" so the proper people see your post.

Nice find! You should edit the post to put it in the subcategory "bugs". Its not appearing in the bugs section yet

Hmmm. I solo'd three times with Voidwalker and a sword equipped. Didn't notice a problem. I'm not saying it didn't happen, I just didn't notice if it did.
