I can see the sandbox gears turning, when you see an infinite ammo melee weapon doing a ton of damage, and think "Oh boy", and thats fair. It is a little extreme to have a weapon that can do that... But we arent talking about snipers. Realistically, players are not going to make Glaives "meta", or trivialise content using Glaives, or at least not content that shouldnt be absolutely torn apart by a glaive or any weapon, Strike bosses will remain every weapons punching bag. Even in the Vexcalibur mission, you know what weapon isnt good for that mission? ...Vexcalibur. Especially on Legend, no chance are you going to whip out a glaive in a solo "Legend" Avalon mission, where Hobgoblins are getting their victory royales for free at 30m away. Glaive were not breaking GM Nightfalls. Glaive were not destroying bosses and encounters in Root of Nightmares. Why? Because its too risky. And frankly, if you CAN pull off a Glaive in that content? GG. If you can whip out the Glaive in a GM, and NOT get blown out, you deserve the Glaive to be as strong as it is. You know isnt a risk/reward damage method? Slapping on a bunch of ugly curtains and throwing fusion grenades. I cannot believe, that you are going to look, at one of the most unviable end game builds in Destiny 2, being Glaive builds, that are so dependant on player skill, and knowing how to avoid damage, and how to play smart, and to do all that while maintaining Biotic Enhancement proc, and actually capitalising on it. But "I sit in no death circle, me throw 20 grenades, nah see no issue here bro, ya'll hear somethin???" Cmon. Get real. I know the meme of "Warlock bias" or whatever exists, but you cannot be serious, watching almost every high end Warlock player, in every activity from Raids, Dungeons, GM Nightfalls, Exotic Mission, Master content, use the exact same build, doing in some cases, x2 the damage that other Warlock builds do, let alone other classes, and being able to just sit in a circle that infinitely heals you, and see absolutely no power imbalance whatsoever, and go "Man Titan do be hittin numbers using that stick". I do not understand your sandbox team. I remember back in the day, you guys talked about Reckoning. That horrific piece of content, where you had to literally make it cheat, in order to deal with players overwhelming power, and how you decided to rebalance the game to avoid making content that felt unfair. Please go talk to the team members who said that. Edit: So not only is it bad, its even worse. The default melee with Biotic Enhancements proc'd, does MORE damage than a Glaive melee. Yes, you cant hit as fast with a default melee, but least keep going down this rabbit hole. Lets say you're on Sentinel, and have Offensive Bulwark on, which increases your melee damage. This will affect powered melee, and default punch melee, but not glaives. Which means, just to make it extra ridiculous... It is better, to use Vexcalibur to create an overshield, and then SWAP TO DEFAULT MELEE, rather than using the glaives melee, despite the fact Vexcalibur is supposed to do MORE damage when you have an overshield... What are you doing? Oh, just to make it worse.. you nerfed this, but what did you NOT nerf? The Glaive interaction with Incandescant/Volitle/Necrotic Grip and Broodweavers Suspend on W A R L O C K And thats clearly a bug, thats obviously not intended, even though i think its cool, but youre gonna ignore that, and make every single Glaive melee, worse than a default melee, invalidating the ENTIRE reason to even USE a glaive at all.
