The ram is every bit as clutch as obsidian mind, and I love my obsidian mind. It only takes a few melee kills to charge your super AND you are a vampire. I just picked up purifier robes from nightfall today, interested to check it out!

Purifier robe would be fun to use in ToO i think, just because if people think you have your self res and they kill you they will camp your booty with a shotgun

I would say so. OM is still an amazing exotic, but pvp-wise i prefer Nothing since you get 2 grenades, and they work like a pseudo Swarm Grenade. PvE, i switch between OM and Nothing, depends on the playstyle i wanna use. Each exotic causes you to play in different ways, and Nothing Manacles' geneeal playstyle is finding either a large group or a strong Tier-2 enemy and shredding their health with one grenade.

With the large group i still would prefer a bad juju OM combo i think
