Those things are beyond broken. It's like 95% damage reduction, and an automatic win in a duel. Literally tanks Sleeper Simulant, Gjallarhorn, etc..
So, what's the deal? When is Bungie going to do something about this horribly balanced weapon?
edit: I literally just tanked and KO'd a stormtrance that was attacking me the whole time. These glaives are so stupid lmao.

How is this all that different to Shotgun-meleeing them faster than they can kill you, or sniping them before they're even in range to hit you? It's not like Glaives are the only special weapons that can win against a Super.
Part of why they seem so strong is that everyone who uses HC + Shotgun and spends all game sprinting at people until they're within 15m (i.e. many, many players) is playing right into the hands of a Glaive user. Sure, the damage resistance might see a reduction so it's less effective against heavy and Supers, but it should still crush Shotgun-aping.
