Since changing the super energy returned from knife hits to explosions there is no benefit to the exotic gauntlets for add control. Zero energy is returned if the rank and file enemies die from the knife hit before the knife explodes. If the intent was to balance supers then this runs counter to that and renders the shards useless for add control. Both Orpheus rig and The Skull of Ahamkara return even some energy from rank and file so why shouldn’t the Shards of Galanor.
