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.

The weapon is definitely for a defensive play style. Their shield ability is excellent for blocking damage while stunning unstoppable Champs and shrikers. While the melee atk, is great close quarters work on ads. The titan's edge of action bubble shield does add another layer of survivability, but it's seem more difficult to use that other alt fire weapon types. The seasonal mods definitely do help the weapon type and losing them will hurt using them in a build. Unfortunately it may just be one of the many weapons that end up being relatively "unusable" because of seasonal champ mods.
