Glaives Are Amazing, You’re Probably Just Using Them Wrong

1. I don't like swords and glaives because they are melee-based weapons, but I love the glaive for it's defensive properties. (If my sword isn't Slammer with cold steel and eager edge or Lament, I don't use it anymore).

   I've always told my fireteam that glaives are "rifles with a bayonet and a shield", and not "gunblades". They're SO good with tracking and ammo efficiency, it's criminal that I don't use them as often

2. I actually had no idea that you had to look at the reticle to see your shield charge for glaives and that it builds when you fire it.

3. Does the Enigma work? Thats the only Glaive I have lol.

4. But I'm a titan how can u teach 😂

5. did the stunned champ at around @8:15 take damage from the screebs? would be cool if yes

6. 8,500 kills in PvP, 32k PvE with my Lubrae's Ruin 🤌🏻 I love glaives so much

7. I'm so glad I got Rake Angle in the GM. I got a pvp version I'm using Impulse/Chill Clip with Mask of Backris hunter. I'm getting emoted and tbagged more than usual now.

8. Glaives here I come 🙂

9. I’m one of the few players I know that use glaive. It saved my ass multiple times in dungeons and raids.

10. Bungie better not change glaives….
    Dont fix what aint broken ….

11. I am a massive glaive fan. My top fav builds are stuff like wormgod on banner or prismatic warlock with warlord for MASSIVE dmg but its only 5 seconds long :<

12. Been saying this since they came out glaives are actually really good if you learn to use them.

13. At 1:30 you say “ keep in mind we have ???? On” what did you say there? I’m so confused on your dr right there

14. Ive used glaives a bunch in the campaigns and normal content, always been a lil scared to try em in GM's and master content seems like you just need to stay calm.

15. Try a stasis frost armour build with Vexcalibur and become unkillable.

    Glaives are like the umbrella from Kingsman

16. Tizzle with this video: "I diagnose all of you with 'Crippling Skill Issue' "

17. I’d love to use glaives if it didn’t block out your entire powered melee ability. So many builds I’d love to make, but they just aren’t possible without the melee

18. Hunter & warlock : “Glaives are amazing”

    Titan : “ Wait,you guys have glaives ?🫠”

19. Video could've done a bit better 'Information presentation'-wise, but here's the main things I wanted to say.
    I think some of the bigger benefits of glaves are already well-known (e.g. Insane DR, unlimited melee, etc…) but I just think that the main reason they aren't popular are used often are because of all the drawbacks that are hard to ignore.

    Like swords, they lockout ur melee, but let's ignore that one for now. One of my biggest personal gripes is how the glave melee has almost no interactions with anything. Can't make orbs with ANY siphon mods, doesn't work with ANY melee mods (orbs, melee dmg for other ability regen mods), majority of perks have NO interaction with melee (e.g. swashbuckler or surrounded don't buff melee, etc…), majority of subclass effects that affect certain weapons or physical melee almost never apply to glave melee (e.g. arc fragment beacons, titan offensive bulwark)…

    Honestly the list could keep going. I love buildcrafting, it's my main join in this game. But when it comes to glaves, there's so many things that they don't function with, that it feels like if I decide to use a glave, I'm literally NOT ALLOWED to use ANYTHING else. And when the game is ever-expanding what's possible with our powers and with our builds, It's a huge buzzkill for dynamic gameplay and creative thinking. Every time I think of something to do with a glave, I get shutdown by the fact that, in practice, it never functions how I'd like it to, if at all.

20. I need to get more glaives all i have is the one you get when you unlock the crafting artifact

21. wormgods on banner titan with winterbite is mad in og onslaught

22. I just find glaives boring. There isnt a really fun one in the game. Winterbite was my favorite but only when it was bugged.

23. Counting the days until rake stasis glaive is back

24. We need a glaive with recombination.
