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.
I feel like I should clear some things up for example your damage resistance while blocking is 75% not 95% still to high why they buffed it is beyond me. Anyway you can't tank stormtrance with a glaive unless something weird happened or they just suck trust me I've tried. No offence but you are just overreacting and don't really understand. Some counters are a shotgun and a melee or stasis even. Try to get creative even with a grenade and movement, while guarding your movement speed is a crawl as soon as you take damage run away the glaive has a slow fire rate. Go to teammates or super do anything just don't stand still and expect to win. Glaives also have some really annoying bugs such as some times the shot registers but doesn't deal any damage so you don't get any shield energy and then the next shot just instantly kills. Seriously the consistency of this weapon sucks its either strong as hell or just sucks no middle ground at all.
Edit: You can totally tank a Gjallarhorn though.
