Glaive melee needs to be elemental

If the glaive melee is not going to get any benefits from melee-buffing perks, it should AT LEAST be considered an elemental attack when it comes to breaking shields or triggering elemental related effects like elemental armaments or path of burning steps, even if the damage buffs only apply to the ranged attack. As it stands, performing a glaive melee is worse than a regular uncharged melee, which is really kinda silly.

  • I do agree that either it should either 1, be elemental and benefit from things that effect element like the flow mod. or 2. be kinetic and benefit from being able to generate orbs with kinetic kills. or. 3. benefit from anything which effects melee. Right... now... right this moment. Glaives are really good, because of the seasonal mods. Aside from the seasonal mods, Bungie lauched glaives extremely conservatively and much more focus has been put on making it a shooty umbrella than an actual melee centered weapon. I think that is going to make them irrelevant once the seasonal mods go away. Time will tell. As it stands they are good for stasis builds because kinetic can do extra damage to frozen targets. Which would be great... If they had a stasis glaive that fired a shotgun blast of stasis shards that freeze targets and then it's stabby time. But they don't.
