OP maybe not. Not on a Luna’s howl or NF level. But they definitely need some tuning. The dam shield needs to break faster or you shouldn’t be able to shoot while it’s up, simple fix.

My brain hurts.

[quote]Disclaimer I personally don’t think it is and can comfortably play around it (yes I do use glaives a lot but even when I’m not I have no problem going against them) So here’s my take if it does have to be touched The thing is about the dr is that it shouldn’t stack with other dr (omni, stag etc.) but any lower and we’re back to having no fusion counters and no omni low counters (obviously you can try and play around them but they are too strong) A solution would be that armour piercing weapons deal double or triple damage to the glaive shield, or keeping overload rounds on a glaive shield lowers the dr, or an unstoppable round disrupts the shield so it gets put down for 1 or 2 seconds, These are generally on primaries so you don’t have to just equip witherhoard, div, stasis etc. and can change your primary mid round Again I think glaives are fine but I know there are some haters out there[/quote] 75% damage resistance on top of preventing crit damage is too much. Doesn’t matter how much copium you’re on.

Glaives should not be able to block as much damage as they do. This should be common sense but oh well.

Revert projectile speed and lower projectile damage while shielding.

They have awful hitboxes otherwise they would be pretty busted

Grenades definitely seem to throw glaive users off pretty well, if you have them. But I still feel like the dr is too much. Especially given the fact that overall glaives aren't being used as much as they may be as a result of the current groundswell that appears to be taking place. Also the "arms race" thing with needing a counter fusions and lord of wolves might not be the best way to balance those weapons since alone and in combination they cause more problems than what is just contained to the balance between them. Lord of wolves: I can almost guarantee that if I take that thing into PvP with my gameplay profile it wouldn't work very well. Having stuff in this game that some people can use but others can't because reasons needs to be kept to a minimum. Fusions: OHK, body shot, ranged weapons. That will suddenly charge faster and shoot further than they appear to be able to. That's the problem, not the fact that they don't have a counter that has its own problems. They're one of the worst offenders when it comes to being tuned to not do something and then the game makes them still end up doing it. Glaives: Too much dr in a game where sometimes there's random dr on random players for random reasons.
