I myself actually quite enjoy glaives but they are definitely too strong with the current shield.
I just had a thought though. What if bungie were to make a change where glaives keep the same dr but they make the shield have a similar effect to riot shields in other games, so basically you would still be able to shoot at someones feet. But because this is Destiny, a game about headshots. I was thinking to make the top of your head exposed aswell, this would still keep them competitive but they would actually have a counter as long as you take your time and aim for that vulnerable spot although it would be I hard counter to shotguns and fusion rifles I guess.
I feel this change shouldnt affect PvE at all too
Let Anti Barrier rounds bypass damage resistance in all its forms. Armor Piercing rounds should too but not to the same degree as anti barrier. Since DR is bypassed by these I don't think DR would be impacted in PvE unless enemies get these too.
They dont need that change.
They are already easy to counter.
Since melee's go through the shield.
Perigrine titan 1 shots them.
1-2 punch + 1melee 1 shots them.
