Memory of Similar Artifact

Why are there secondary abilities for this Artifact that create orbs when either germane or melee kills on minions of darknesss? While, in my opinion, I would never wear this outside of pvp there are many other artifacts that can be used instead of this for crucible. I feel that Bungie should look at the secondary abilities for this Artifact and either enhance them for a more intended purpose in crucible or give them some other competing ability for pve. Mostly all the other artifacts are great for pve but I believe this one falls way short of them.

  • It does make you wonder why a PvP artifact had PvE perks built in.

  • Without its "main" perk it's pretty much the same as all the regular artifacts that are not "Memory of"s. To give it PvP focused bonus perks would make it literally the only artifact that exists that would have them. It wouldn't be too far off to say something similar about Crucible Ghosts offering resource scanners when there are no resources in PvP where they are intended to be used.

    Before there was a T12 Skorri artifact, I always took Silimar into PvE, to keep my stats at T12. It's really no different than wearing just a regular old artifact, they're not much of a help. They're basically just there for the stats. One orb every now and then from grenade kills, doesn't really help out a lot. Your teammates usually have their super already, by the time you make one orb from your grenade, and just leave the orbs laying there. I wouldn't mind if they made it PvP focused. If it made orbs drop from grenade kills on guardians, I don't think that would be OP, or game breaking. It probably wouldn't be much of a help either, but it would be PvP focused. Who knows... maybe that one random orb you pick up, from your teammates grenade kill, that only speeds up your super by about 3 seconds, would help you turn around a losing match at the last minute. It's doubtful, but it is a romantic notion... "We were down, just a few points behind. But then I saw it. That lonely orb lying there on the ground. I ran over and picked it up. It allowed me to gain my FoH, just a few seconds before the warlock on the enemy team got his Nova Bomb. I rushed at them from around the corner, and smashed them all to smithereens, just before the timer ran out, netting us the win!"

    Nowhere does it say melee... It specifically says grenade kills. All of the artifacts are similar. "Get these types of kills with this element to generate orbs". When I say all artifacts, I mean all of them, not just the RoI artifacts. Also, that is a crucible specific artifact. There is no reason to use it in PvE, except for maybe the INT/DIS/STR levels
