Glaive melee not activating Siphon mods
as the title says, it doesn't appear that Glaive melee attacks activate any of the Siphon mods, the ones that create orbs of power. I've been testing with The Enigma, and used Kinetic Siphon alone, on the Last Wish, Shuro Chi checkpoint.
I've tested the Enigma with
1. Harmonic Siphon + Void Subclass
2. Kinetic Siphon
3. Void Siphon + The Enigma
I have also tested with The Judgement of Kelgorath with
1. Kinetic Siphon
2. Solar Siphon + Judgement of Kelgorath
3. Harmonic Siphon + Judgement + Solar Subclass
The only way I can get an Orb of Power to drop is using the [i]projectile[/i] to kill enemies.
While I don't mind the melee attacks not activating the Elemental Siphon Mods, i think it's pretty weird that the Kinetic Siphon mod doesn't activate on Glaive Melee, considering that I fulfilled a Kinetic Bounty using Glaive kills, although I'd have to go and check that again.

Will never work with Glaive Melee as Bungie said months ago. Bungie said [u]Glaives melees[/u] should work like [u]standard Guardian melees[/u]. Glaive melees activate everything that standard melee can also activate, and get benefits from what the standard melee also gets benefits from. And you [u]can't[/u] create Orbs or Element Wells etc with Standard Guardian Melees either, so it will never work with Glaive Melees either. For the orbs you have to quickly make 2 kills with the respective weapon element, with the Glaive the weapon is the shot mode So in this case everything works as it should

3 RepliesIt should work, but it doesn't and they're slowly working in stuff to work with the melees (they only just added exotic armor interaction). Its been like this since they added glaives and the mods.

2 RepliesHey there, the Siphons work from 'rapid <x> weapon final blows', while Glaive melee is indeed kinetic, it isn't a 'weapon final blow/kill' which is the same reason why Glaive melee doesn't trigger Rampage, Demolitionist, etc, only perks that specifically say they trigger from melee. viiTactiiCZz is right that Glaive/perk interactions have some inconsistencies (the Kinetic bounty you mentioned sounds like one of them). However I would not expect any change for the above as it is working how they outlined - Glaive melee is not a 'weapon kill' and should not trigger 'weapon kill' effects like Siphons.
