Gotta Say, Glaives Feel Pretty Good Now

I know people have been playing with their rocket-assisted sidearms as of late, but have you tried using a glaive recently? Times sure have changed. I remember when glaives had inconsistent hit registration that either forgot to deal damage or forgot to give you shield energy. Or both. And I remember when they forgot how to melee after shooting for a full second. All of that doesn't really happen anymore. And they passively generate shield energy just by holding them in your hand like a menace. Now of course they aren't going to be good at one-shotting or doing DPS, but I've found them to be pretty fun in both PvE and PvP since this season started. The one I was playing around with was Unexpected Resurgence. It felt viable in the Crucible. I even used it in Trials last weekend. Didn't go flawless, but got pretty close and the glaive I was using felt pretty good. I also used it in The Coil activity earlier yesterday and managed to complete a run without too much trouble. That extra shield energy in PvE is very nice, especially when a boss is about to quake the ground. I felt like I could push a little bit aggressively with it and succeed. It kinda makes me want to come up with glaive ideas to post on here. I've never had so much fun with a stick on Destiny 2 before.

    Thanks for the review! I enjoy the Glaive but I haven’t used it much as of late. I play mostly Hunter and Warlock, and I’ve been meaning to make a Triton Vice build this season. Looks like it would be fun. Do Necrotic Grips work with a Glaive? I’ll have to give that a shot and see. Maybe Warlord’s Sigil or Vampiric Caress would work. I’m going to be doing some experimenting this weekend and make a couple nice Glaive builds I think.
