See a lot of love for Obsidian Mind and a lot of hate for Skull on these forums, especially for PVP. While OM is my go to exotic for Voildwalker in PVE, I love using Skull in the Crucible. Why?
-more super energy from grenade kills (OM's inverse shadow perk is wasted in PVP)
-tougher while Nova bombing
-Siphon powers increased: if you run the right perk set up, you'll notice a difference to your play style and speed.
Sign if you love using the Skull! :) and if so/not, why?
Edit: thanks for all the replies everyone, interesting to hear your preferences in Warlock set ups!

Love my warlock, main character. For pvp I use the gauntlets, I used to wear voidfang but I now I prefer the claws. For pve, obsidian mind is a must. I hardly use the skull.
-
People who run OM in PVP have no idea what they are doing. I usually use Voidfang vestments though because axion bolt grenades are amazing.
-
What happens when you upgrade it with Xur? It looks like my stats decrease instead of increase...
-
I just don't like or use it because it looks awful.

Voidfang for spawn with nades

Love skull. Void fang too. Warlock MasterRace

It's just [i]so[/i] ugly!

It looks SO GOOD but it's so BAD.
-
I prefer Voidfang in Crucible - can't beat spawning with grenade energy/carry more ammo for Hand Cannons. Perks on the skull are useful however you can still do just as much damage without it
-
U can eat golden gun shots and blade dancer slashes during ur nova. Made it well worth it to me.

Regular PvP I rock the Skull being tougher while throwing the bomb is clutch and a stronger energy drain is definitely needed. But for iron banner I usually use sunsinger with the radiant skin perk. With radiant skin I have full confidence running into a titan bubble and just wrecking the titan inside, scorch meele is probably the strongest attack in the game besides supers and shoulder charge. And I usually use voidfang for 2 sticky grenades every life.

Skull for PvP all day
-
I use OM for PvE, Skull or VV for PvP. Vastly underrated exotic. With the right build, you get two thirds of your grenade back as long as you hit something with it.
-
I prefer using Mind for my play style. I dont think Skull is bad. Just not as good considering that if you play Mind with Bad Juju is a game changer
-
I have both OM and the Skull. Never leveled my Skull tho because I use voidfangs in PvP.
-
*sharded*

It's good for PvP but Voidfang is better. Guaranteed grenade every spawn, and you should be flanking with nova bomb anyways.

Edited by Moot: 4/27/2015 12:50:21 PMI think it's kinda ugly. Don't have OM yet but I wantz itz soooo badlyz!
-
I will admit, it's good for PVP.
-
Havnt even levelled mine,usually have vestments on.May have to try it out
