Want to know what this artefact does to a sword? Look no further. The game has been changed. I have 1000s of kills in PVP using swords, I cannot put into words how amazing this artefact is. Props to bungie for creating this!

Edited by Zelrons: 10/6/2016 4:52:48 PMI'm beginning to believe this artifact is intended for PvP as I've been doing tests with it in PvE and it is actively making swords worse. Firstly it does not increase your sword ammo at all. But more importantly every single deflection costs 1 ammo, in addition to regular draining and "big hit" penalties. So high RoF attacks will drain your sword ammo in under a second. The only use for it I can see is deflecting single huge damage attacks, like supers and rockets, things that are only relevant in PvP.
