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 finally got around to crafting the enigma this week with all the pvp perks and it feels like cheating, cant lose a rumble game with it on, so hilarious seeing legitimately good players trying to kill me with a primary or shotgun + melee and good movement and i just stand there staring at them and then shoot them for 170. People will say "better than hand cannons and shotguns!!!!" but i guarantee you these people would rather play against those than glaives, arbalests, lorentz, and smgs. At least the old meta had reasonable counters
