Exotics are, for the most part, weak. The claws are no exception. But the claws and a few others fall into a category that really can only be described as "would be (was) good or broken in D1". The claws were a good exotic in D1 due to the higher melee damage in PvP (and PvE to an extent, but why use claws in Pve when winter's guile exists?). This is not easy to fix, as buffing melee damage is not so much a buff to these as it is a buff to smacking people in the face. What should be done to make these better? I've included several ideas that would, in my opinion, help make this a better option on the first step to making more powerful, game-defining, exotic armors. More Perks [spoiler] either steal from other exotics or create a new one. One idea could be charged melees recharge 25-50% off your next charged melee, allowing you to almost always have a melee charge. A perk from another exotic that would work fantastic on this is the Warlords sigil from winters guile, allowing increased melee damage on melee kill, as even 1x stack on a charged melee could be devastating. [/spoiler] Better Perks [spoiler] Not much I could think of for this, as it is both similar to the last category and there's not much to be improved. not sure why I included this.
