Loot Primer for this week...

[url=https://www.light.gg/db/items/527989828/action-item/]Action Item[/url] [url=https://www.light.gg/db/items/3481382332/king-orfeo/]King Orfeo[/url] [url=https://www.light.gg/db/items/474671201/micromort/]Micromort[/url] [url=https://www.light.gg/db/items/2246386812/the-heron/]The Heron[/url] credit: light.gg I almost don't want to say what I'm going for. Things to note: I don't know if this event was scaled back... OR there might be secrets. There are 3 holiofoils per weapon. There are 4 different versions of every weapon I linked above. I'm going for infinite ammo. That's what exists in this pool. Or what I theorycrafted before knowing the exact ammo gen boosts. The glaive has 'Lead from Gold', the RL has 'Field Prep' (Don't get baited by Lead from Light). [b]NAIL, MEET HAMMER This weapon is more effective against combatant shields. This weapon grants improved Special ammo progress if it uses Primary or Heavy ammo , or improved Heavy ammo progress if it uses Special ammo.[/b] You know what the hang ups are for Glaives per my recent testing? They can't break shields. Terrible at it. The melee in particular is absolutely useless, the projectiles aren't much better. They're supposed to work with all this stuff now... they don't. Combination Blow does not work for example. They can hang in high end PvE... barely. I'm actually a little down this morning 😢. I came to the conclusion last night... I got one other kit I could make that might be better. I got the Triton I wanted... add clear it's great, but anytime there's a shielded major... or a major+ that's alone... it's not good enough for me. And during that time, you'll get whittled even w Swordmasters. And Glaives suck at making orbs. That's really what was the deciding factor for me. Orbs. The power fantasy is a Valkyrie. To poke. There are a couple ways around this, on Strand... Arc... Void... w fragments... but no easy healing... right now w the artifact, yes you can have unlimited devour... but I try to build strong kits that aren't time limited.

    if what DIM implies is correct.. (this is actually what I thought originally)... it means its just gizmo and King Orfeo and Heron this time around ...they are keeping Action Item & the silly rocket for another event (cant over deliver)... if thats the extent of guardian games weaponry.... sheesh 👎👎

  • Preciate the info. I already see what roll I'm chasing for each. The trace got me most excited. Rewind and detonator beam?!?! So many booms!!!!!!

  • Good post not sure why it’s downvoted into oblivion. I’m also happy to see a new gear legendary glaive. My go to build (before praxic blade released) was wormgods caress with vexcalibur. Having a legendary option again is nice as it frees up the exotic spot for something like tractor cannon or an exotic primary. Would have been nice if the new glaive had close to melee but oh well.

  • I started using glaives again in episode heresy so I'm slightly interested in the new one. I have no interest in the rest however, and there are many other weapon types that could have been brought into the tier system such as rocket sidearms. At this point, I'm chasing armor for my neglected Titan more than weapons.

    • Tech sec armor perks makes glaive melee bust shields like crazy. Been wanting to try it with my Refusal of the call because it has disruption break, but haven’t gotten around to it

      • For the Glaive the thing for me will be, non artifact wise, disruption break for shield breaks, ranged attack results in a good melee buff. If you want to break shields with the melee, techsec set, the melee of Glaive’s is kinetic. On the shielded cabal at the scoring range it’s 228 up from 63 with an old 438 light refusal. Either 4 techsec or 2/2 with sword master would be my pick.

        If only heavy handed worked for glaive melee kills or kinetic siphon, or one of the elemental siphons for range as well as kinetic to benefit for production of orbs on glaive kits for either range and or melee kills.

          Action Item (trace) - with corpsebloom makes sense.. probably makes more sense than any other weapon with corpsebloom King Orfeo (bow) - if they adjust bows and it has cracked stats maybe... I see that if it can take seasonal mods it could work with Jolt.. I am curious from a PVP perspective slightly Mircomort (rocket) - ...I have no idea why to chase this (yawnnnnnn) The Heron (glaive) - just cause seasonal mod..as a seasonal mod accepting ecliptic distaff with destab/repulsor ..... hmm with heavy handed I can see a play on disruption break + unstoppable force then you switch to kinetic to finish off (thinkin in high level content)..I wonder if kinetic means kinetic slot or kinetic only weapon...
