Glaives feel underpowered

Am the only person in the community that feels like glaives need a LOT of work and love right now? I've seen no one complaining about that fact that glaives are super underwhelming and that they underperform in high end content. They feel less like a weapon, and more like a utility stick. Yay, we got a melee weapon that doesn't use ammo to swing it... but it also does nothing. It can't proc exotic effects, or set effects (like charged with light or wells) with its melee, EVEN EXOTICS THAT SPEICIFY THAT THEY PROC ON MELEE (note: karnsteins proc on unpowered and powered melee, but glaives apparently don't count as either). Glaives feel like they have a slew of problems with registering what there damage type is. They don't count as a melee, they don't count as a weapon, they are just kind of in some terrible middle ground that allows them to barely even register that you got a kill. The only use I could possibly see glaives having in high end content is a free shield to use to pick your friends up when they do something stupid. I'm not saying that I hate glaives, they are one of the most satisfying weapons in D2 right now, they are fun to use, and I enjoy them, but it feels like they didn't think them out well, and its caused them to suffer a lot. If you have any synergy you've found for them, or anything that gives them a use case in high end content, I would love to hear, maybe I've missed something. Oh god I hope I've missed something. Anyways, this has been my 10 page thesis on glaives. <3

  • There also shouldn’t be a buffer between firing and meleeing. In pvp, glaives are next to useless, taking up your special slot, and not even feeling powerful. As a special weapon should feel.
