*OFFICIAL YOUNG AHAMKARA'S SPINE DEBATE*
All of us hunters know that the Perks for this "Exotic" armor piece are lackluster and very under-powered. This armor piece needs some serious work. The tripmine perk is ONLY good in PVP and even then, tripmines are easy to spot. A skilled player will almost NEVER get caught by a pre-placed tripmine. Here are a few suggestions to make this Armor piece actually valuable.
Selection A: Instead of having the "Special weapon reload" perk, make it a "Primary weapon Reload" perk. Increasing the rate at which any primary can be reloaded. If that sounds too powerful, then maybe only make it 50%-60% as effective as the normal perk for specific primary reloads.
Selection B: Tripmines last as long as they normally would with the stock perk, BUT they also don't pulse a red beacon. They are only visible when looking directly at them.
Selection C: Boost recharge rate of tripmines (ONLY tripmines) and increase Blast radius and damage. (make it what it used to be at 206 dmg)
If anyone has their own suggestions, post below please.
Personally I would like the first selection. Having a primary reload perk would actually make people consider using is.
Edit: those of you who think an additional tripmine would be a good perk, think about it. My suggestions are reasonable and not outrageous. Having two trip mines would be ridiculous

2 RepliesUnfortunately the trapmine grenade is basically a sticky grenade in PvE. The AI is smart enough to just side step any grenade in their way and you are rarely in a position where you can use it to block an ingress point, so having 30 seconds (or whatever it is, it has been a while) instead of 7 seven seconds is rarely a helpful ability. With that said, adding damage or taking away the cone, so the AI stopped side stepping the grenade would be good. Though no cone in Pvp would probably be too powerful.

1 ReplyJust add re spawn with grenade energy, like voidfang for warlocks. Problem solved.

1 ReplyConsidering that it's literally the spine of a baby wishing dragon, I'm just grateful the concept was created at all.

Make it so trip mines don't de-spawn unless you die
-
1 ReplyAre you -blam!-ing kidding me? I destroy in pvp with this..., my trip mines destroy with these gloves.,, why are you people so fckng clueless?!?
-
Leave it alone it's perfect as is I use it all the time and like the perk I think it's the best exotic in the game to tell the truth
-
Granted the perks on this armor could be better however they are the coolest looking gauntlets Big go on your shoulder Laser Spine constantly moves don't use them a lot but I think they look super cool
-
1 ReplyI was thinking the exotic perk could be that when you throw your knife it splits into 3 precision projectiles that rarely misses
-
In my opinion the visual indication should be replaced by a audible signal in form of a beeping sound.
-
It may be easy to spot so that's why you've gotta place it in a spot where they can't see it unless there right under it. I use the spine all the time and it's perk is brilliant, so many times I've killed someone because I've had these and not some other piece.
-
7 RepliesHunter grenades are jokes.. They only kill other players if u showe it down their throat!
-
9 RepliesNone of these. It needs a perk that isn't connected to the trip mine. I think that anything you melee should be set on fire for a short while.
-
1 ReplyOr they could leave it alone and create new exotic armor using these ideas, creating more variety.
-
1 ReplyNone of those options makes me want to use Young Ahamkara's Spine over Acylophage Symbiote or Mask of the Third Man.

1 ReplyEdited by Scorpius XX1: 4/27/2015 10:15:36 AMThere is a gigantic skull on my shoulder, who cares about anything else

i love them for pvp and pve but thats mainly because i like the tripmine my recommendation i would keep the beacon but change it so that it is like a cloaked hunter much harder to see but not invisible and easier to get kills with also maby like obsidian mind where tripmine kills reduce tripmine cool down
-
I use my Spine's a lot in PVP. The extended trip mines get me the postmortem bounty so quickly. I believe the change should be remove the special weapon loader and make it so all effects burn. Daggers burn, golden gun burns, grenades, etc. The ahkmara were dragons so I feel it's fitting to add that into their use.
-
The beauty of the spine is in control, the recent ammo crate reductions make it harder to regain that trip mine so I say C that way you get that flag trap back faster.
-
What about a perk that made you immune to your own grenades and rockets?
-
4 RepliesCary an additional tripmine. In addition, your tripmine has a larger AoE.
-
Tripmine grenades themselves don't really need a buff because they're already powerful. I think the best way to buff Spine is to make it so you carry 2 grenades.
-
6 RepliesThis isn't official, you aren't from Bungie. Other than that, good suggestions. What if it made your Trip Mine's explode twice? Like it would explode, then reset. Next person that crosses it sets it off for slightly reduced damage. 1 second "recharge" window.
-
When I first saw these gauntlets I thought they would have a perk that if an enemy melees you, they would take some damage, when I found out they didn't do that, I couldn't understand why. I still don't. I only use them because I think they look awesome.
-
I voted section a. I like the idea of no red beacon from tripmine but there's no way to til if it's freely or foe anyway so it kind of doesn't matter. As do the recharge of grenades. If I throw a tripmine and it doesn't get tripped I have another one by the time the first one goes off. I think the primary reload is just an awesome perk especially for anything where shooting is important. Special reload speed is stupid but then again a lot of the perks on a lot of the armor is stupid.
-
I think that the way that they could improve them was if maybe instead of making the tripmine last for longer, it's special perk would make ur tripmines not flash a laser at all (though that sounds a bit op for PvP now that I think about it)
