SPOILERS ABOUT EXOTIC INFORMATION BELOW. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
[spoiler]So, Datto uploaded an early video about the exotic armor coming into The Final Shape. Link [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfuela2gAbI]here[/url]. When it was first revealed, I made [url=https://www.bungie.net/en-CA/Forums/Post/263928877?sort=0&page=0]this post (my first impression)[/url] just out of concern for the exotic and what was shown and even compared it to Felwinter's Helm.
But after seeing what the exotic does in Datto's video... Wow, you'd almost think that I was there as well playing some of the DLC early and my earlier post looked like me just teasing everyone on the forums with what I said before. I honestly had no idea if there was a way to generate melee energy with the exotic or if defeating suspended enemies would grant it. Or even if Arcane Needle kills would also proc smaller detonations (they don't even have to be the final blow). I didn't know at all. There's no way that my idea was implemented at the last minute. Not in that time frame, no way. But now I definitely see the good appeal of it.
Dang, maybe I am a video game prophet after all.[/spoiler]

Tbh looks mid imo. We will see it the gameplay is actually fun, but I really can’t see it replacing the several other, more effective suspension builds in the game, especially if we have to burn three needles on high-health enemies, I just don’t see it being worth it when they take so long to recharge anyways. I do see there is that melee recharge part of it, but that only works if you can suspend a ton at once, and honestly the whole effect of the exotic is useless if your just gonna use mindspun invocation anyways. Idk maybe it’ll be better than how it looks, but so far I see another vault exotic (along with that awful helmet they are releasing)
