One of my more recent posts talked about an exotic glaive idea. Scratch that idea. I've had more time to think about something and this is what I came up with. I'll explain the major points about the idea like trait descriptions.
- Press [melee button] after using Grapple to perform a thrust attack that severs damaged targets and generates shield energy after damaging targets (basically enables Grapple melees while holding this glaive unlike with other glaives and it does some extra things).
- Defeating targets with projectiles from this weapon emits a blast that severs targets near the defeated target (the blast doesn't do much damage). Blocking damage and defeating targets with projectiles from this weapon generate grenade energy while Grapple is equipped. Defeating targets affected by Strand debuffs generate more energy.
- Catalyst effect if it is a thing: Melees while holding this weapon and projectiles from this weapon deal increased damage to targets affected by Strand debuffs (this could be different, or anything really).
Basically the idea is that the glaive would try to encourage a more-aggressive playstyle using that type of weapon. Combining sever with the ability to block damage and perhaps even utilizing Woven Mail somewhere else in your build could help you tank a lot of damage. The weapon is also designed around Grapple, clearly. However, it might be designed TOO much around Grapple, though if I'm being honest, Sturm is designed around using Drang for the most part too. So, it might be fine.
I like this idea better than the last.

Cool idea but not going to happen until these buffoons figure out how to put a glaive in the kinetic slot.
