I made a post in the Feedback section about Xur selling Ruin Wings today only to find out people seem to think the Helm of Saint 14 is better...really? Haha no. Here's a short list as to why.
Considering I have two versions of S-14 I know what I'm talking about so...let's address the first perk. Rain Blows...it increases your melee attack speed...yay...this isn't that great in my opinion. Inverse Shadow...Increased Super Energy when you kill a minion of Darkness...better...sure especially because this is an intellect based Helm. And of course, the main bonus that everyone loves, Starless Night...Your Ward of Dawn blinds enemies who enter it. Great bonus...awesome in fact....but not the best. 1. It is solely based on you having to use your Super to get the bonus. 2. It doesn't always stop things immediately. I've lost count of the number of times I've died in or around my bubble while the enemy was walking around blind...3. Easily countered in PvP. I'm not much for the PvP in Destiny but even I know how easy it is to counter a S-14 Ward of Dawn...just...don't go in it...or Titan Smash the -blam!-ing thing...
Now to the best for PvE...Ruin Wings.
I'm just gonna skip to the end and say...Heavy Ammo for days.
Do you get tired of buying Heavy Ammo synthesis? Sick of waiting for scrubs to do the Heavy Ammo glitch during the Crota Raid? NO MORE! Now, for 1 weekend only you can buy the Limited Edition "Ruin Wings" and get Heavy Ammo...well...basically whenever you want.
Yes, I'm exaggerating but my point stands. The reason these are better isn't simply because of that perk though...the fact that I don't have to be a Defender Titan to make full use of them is also a HUGE plus.
The same can be said about the [b]Armentarium...I[/b] think I spelled that right. The big bonus for that is 2 grenades. That means double Lightning grenades, double flashbang grenades, double every grenade in your arsenal...and you aren't required to be a Defender Titan to use it.
So stop being stupid. Pick up your Ruin Wings....TODAY
Update: I know the perk on Ruin Wings doesn't go off every time. Stop reminding me. Jeez.
Update 2: When Bungie decides to patch Ruin Wings and everyone gets Heavy all the time, let me redirect you to this post where half of you think Saint 14 is the God mode exotic...
Update 3: Jeez...3? Okay, yes Ruin Wings are absolute garbage in PvP. Now stop with your crying on my post. I'm pretty sure this is personal opinion. Oh wait...I forgot this is the internet/Destiny forum.
Update 4: Frankly I'm tired of replying to all of the crybabies defending the Helm of Saint 14. Want to know a secret? This post was made to see who can have a legitimate aargument against my completely irrational remarks concerning the 3 Titan Exotics I mentioned above. And, as expected, most of you resorted to whiny bullshit. [b]HOWEVER[/b] ,some of you were able to give me real reason why the Helm of Saint 14 is better than Ruin Wings.
But to the vast majority...I say...hahahahahahaha fools.
Update 5: Really? Are Exotics situational? I had [i]noooooooooo[/i] idea! What? I'm a condescending jackass? I had [i]nooooooooooo[/i] idea! :O
Update 6: This is the last one because frankly I'm tired of the butthurt crybabies. Thanks to the people who realized from the beginning I was messing with you. And also thank you to the people who didn't realize this fact (or did...idk) but still argued their case in a logical manner instead of shitting on my opinion. As to the rest of you...please take the time to read this final update before commenting. I have already heard nearly every possible argument against me and honestly, I don't care what you have to say about this post anymore. Feel free to comment. I know I won't be the only one laughing at you.

1 ReplyEdited by nukacola24: 3/29/2015 1:57:06 AMI always rock my ruin wings for raids. The helm is great too. Now what would be great is a helm that does not let enemies enter your bubble.

Edited by splffmysterr: 3/29/2015 2:06:11 AMYou're absolutely right you're entitled to ur opinion and u make alot of sense. Personally, I only find the ruin wings usefully only on crota himself. The st14 turns the ward of dawn into ward of doom and if used properly, nothing will get u. I kno enemies can melee into it before getting blind, but after using it so much u usually kno wen to dip n dodge. This is also where increased melee attack speed comes into effect. While they are blind u can throw punches out like rice at a wedding and if they aren't dead, they are pushed out and still blind. As for pvp, it's self explanatory as to y ruin wings are useless. Edit: just read ur final update. Weak man. Stick to ur guns. Just cause ppl coming at u don't mean u shy away and claim "joking". Makes all u said before and after seem pathetic.

Situational.

Purely situational
-
Titans have many exotic pieces or armor that are excellent. Of those, there is no "best", only preference.

I do like the Helm of Saint-14 for the very first part of VoG. If used right it helps stop the Minotaurs very effectively, I've never got to use armamentarium though (don't have one), and as for ruin wings the exotic perk doesn't really work for me.
-
It's so situational it's stupid
-
2 RepliesToo little people in these forums have common sense. Ruin Wings is better for PVE than S-14. I can gjallarhorn enemies for days with Ruin Wings. But S-14 really only works for a few situations where enemies attack you aggressively. Now here comes the hate ;)

2 RepliesI have 2 titans...master race only joking...depending on what you are doing..i have had Saint-14 for a long time its awesome but if you need glasshouse for Atheon then thats best for that or health regeneration then the other exotic helmet is best but if you want to blind the Saint-14 is the one plus it looks bad ass

Its all based on your play style.

Armamenterian is #1

1 ReplyEdited by kgnast: 3/29/2015 12:04:01 AMAlthough Helm of Saint 14 is a super based exotic it's perks allow you to maximize your super. You have intellect and increased super energy which allows you to get your super pretty fast. Ruin wings have strength a pretty useless stat. I love Ruin Wings but it's too inconsistent. When I heavy glitch it doesn't take time when I equip No Land Beyond (Shoot, Reload, Sprint to cancel animation) and I'd much rather have intellect for more bubbles for my team. I love both though think that Saint 14 is superior. Edit: You don't even have the seeds of ruin perk on yours

3 RepliesRuin wings don't work all the time. Bungie helpline says to turn them off and then back on again.

5 RepliesMk. 44s are best imo

9 RepliesIn your 3rd update you said that this is your opinion and people shouldn't be moaning at you yet you have made a post moaning about other peoples opinions........ Internet people confuse me so much
-
Lol every time this guy loses an argument he talks shit then completely ignores the person this guy is so ignorant...
-
I 100% agree with you. I find myself reaching for ruin wings 95% percent of the time :)

7 Replieswtf are you talking about.. then you contradict yourself in your edits
-
I say Armamentarium is the overall best Titan exotic because both subclasses benefit from using it equally. You also can use any special weapon you want as it carries special ammo in general. It has heavy ammo, so you can wear iron banner boots instead of the ugly raid boots and carry more ammo for your prinary. Most versatile armour piece in the game.

I like the ruin wings but I hate how I have to continually change glove just to get the ammo perk to work

Well for crucible yes it is but for PvE the ruin wings are.
