Imagine using an idea from warframe. (jk jk I would definitely be on board with this)

Imagine the Iron Battle Axe but as an exotic. That’s what I’d like to see

And I suppose they should be called Stone, Water, Wind, and Moon stance?

Remember when bungie gave only the titans and hunter's unique swords?

I don't think we need tons of different kinds of melee weapons. Maybe the Iron Lord axe can get added and that's it. Other than that having ones with different move sets is the way to go. They're on the right track in a way. We have dark drinker 2.0, as a legendary lul. Lament has a unique move set also, basically raze lighter reborn. Worldline has a pretty neat special attack that sees no use outside trying to abuse its movement. Though I promise you, you can surprise the shit out of people in crucible with its special attack. Also have the hook sword whos name escapes me that is basically a toned down version of the D1 exotic. Black Talon is the void version of that exotic in a way, but better that it was overall. They just need more crown splitter type stuff or the weeb goldtusk moves to come back for a start. That would make more options, and quite a few to be honest.

Do you want to turn Destiny into Witcher? Tracking with witcher senses is already here, now you want a slasher mechanics...

i was hoping with rise of iron the axes would have been an exotic weapon! ya they need different melee weapons to mix in with stuff, even class exotic melees, like an actual shield for titans, hunters get duel wield tomahawks, warlocks can have like a spiked floating orb. it would make pve and pvp so much more fun
