They definitely aren’t useless in endgame pve lol. They’re amazing for GMs, especially with them being a champion mod this season. Being able to raise the shield and just not to damage is great.

You don't use glaives... can't. I use glaives in endgame. Also, THE "best" exotic weapon in the game right now... overall, PvE & PvP... mostly PvE focused is a glaive. Aerondight is the best exotic weapon we've ever gotten. You have a Guinevere's in any squad that knows what they're doing... it literally changes the game. You have 2, your team is basically invincible. I don't even want to talk about it, tbh... because you'll continue to believe your nonsense, but I'm still letting the cat out... Vexcalibur is fully broken.

[quote]Leaks from the new dungeon show another exotic glaive, seasonal weapon was another garbage glaive and you can bet absolutely no one is farming for a trials glaive, what a way to kill weekend numbers…. Glaives are virtually useless in most end game content and incredibly boring to play with. I’ve not seen winterbite from the moment it was nerfed and haven’t seen vexcalibur after the week is was introduced. Glaives are the exact opposite of a weapon that destiny needs, slow and weak in easy content and beyond weak and far too close ranged for harder content. Before the people that race in here saying ‘I love glaives, I cant wait for more’ right after completing their 10th ‘bungie has ruined with game with difficulty changes’ post for the week, consider why you can’t clear a master nightfall lmao.[/quote] Glaives are amazing, people just dont use them because you HAVE to craft them world drops are meh They give amazing ad clear on small enemies i used one for a fuil root of nightmare raid. It was extremely good killing ads Vexcalibur is amazing with its infinite oversheild and bonus melee damage perks

Glaives are perfect for endgame. 97% damage reduction when blocking allows you to tank a GM unstoppable ogre beam for over a minute. And the glaive shots 1 shot all red health GM adds. Its also unstoppable.

Idk if it's just me, but if I'm using a glaive I'm using a legendary. The implementation of exotic glaives has been subpar outside of Vexcalibur but even then I only run that to get my clanmates the hidden chests then it comes right back off. Winterbite is the only glaive I like to use and even then I barely do

Another glaive ? My god i hope the exotic perk has nothing to do with the whole "shoot to charge your energy then use this energy to activate your perk"

Glaives are great still in PVE- They were a bit oppressive in PVP when they first came out- and now they’re nerfed into the ground with no reason to use one over a SG/Fusion. Maybe try branching out a little , they’re great special weapons in a lot of content bar boss dps

There are an equal amount of exotic glaives and exotic snipers. This. Is. Not. OK. Snipers are 7 years older than glaives, and have a fraction of their usage.

Many special exotic weapons are not worth using. Tracer rifles and primaries are the best. Heavy exotic are mainly for DPS. Eyes is exceptional, very good for adds cleared in GM. The top primary exotic is malfeasance. The bombs just make this hand cannon awesome. Long distance, no problem. Major, can do. Champion, why not. Bosses, when you are out of heavies, decent. If you have it, good. As the quest to get it is stupidly tedious and need star alignment in Gambit.

I love Glaives: I think Bungie needs to buff them by providing a passive resilience buff while welding one. Maybe make that a new perk for Glaives and Swords. I find it fun to have options on how to kill my enemies. Maybe I want to stare into those three green eyes before I send that thrall to wherever they go when they die. Not to mention they can block and shoot. The block needs to be a bit more effective in my opinion. Glaives breathed new life into the game the same way bows and swords did when first introduced. I bet your one of those fire team leaders who tells people what loadouts to use and doesn't care about what they prefer or want. I avoid playing with those sorts of people and just use whatever I want. It's one reason I find SamiKat kinda inspirational. She uses bows despite the fact that I'd imagine it can't be easy to not Clutch on Jotun or some other Special Weapon. The only garbage weapon is one wielded by some one who treats people like garbage.

I won't say I love glaives; I don't really use them a lot. But I can say that paired with the Medieval mod for Unstoppable stuns they're pretty hard to ignore. Add to it the ranged/melee combo, they're pretty versatile in the right circumstances. My Enigma was awesome when I would run Spire of the Watcher. On a personal note, when I use mine for melee attacks, I occasionally make the same grunts that Ash had the primitive screwheads use in 'Army of Darkness.' "HOO! HAA! HOO! YAA!" Then again, maybe I'm just strange.

You shouldn't believe everything you read, if you did you'd be non stop buying shlong enlargement pills/devices and you'd never get any game played.
