Exotic glaes got some buffs this season, but are they worth it? With improved damage and utility, they feel better to use, but still struggle to find a place in the sandbox. Unless Bungie amps them up even more, why not make them non-class specific? It would add more interest and versatility. Let's make exotic glaes great for everyone! #GlaesForAll 🌟
🧐 The Season of Changes
Table of Contents
So at the beginning of the Season, we broke down all of our exotic changes received, looked at reworks individually, and re-reviewed weapons that are hot this season due to our artifact mods. Now, let's revisit a set of weapons that received reworks this season: our class exotic glaives. We did a video on these last season, theorizing on whether these reworks would be enough. Since the season's launch, nobody has been using these glaives. Let's do a complete breakdown to figure out if any of these glaives are now worth your time.
🎮 Changes to All Glaives
Bungie increased projectile speed by 30%, projectile damage in PVE by 25%, and projectile damage inside of PVP. The increase in projectile speed was done so that impulse amplifier wasn't a must-have perk, making glaives feel better without it. Quality of life changes included a reduction of the delay after firing before you can melee and passive Shield energy recharge.
📈 Individual Buffs to Exotic Glaives
One of the big changes made to these exotic glaives is that when their exotic perk is active, it grants you one ammo, allowing you to use them even if you're out of ammo. Let's look at the specific buffs given to each exotic glaive.
🧐 Edge of Intent (Warlock)
- Increased magazine size from 4 to 5
- Improved healing turret projectiles
- Utility in low to mid-tier content
🛡️ Edge of Action (Titan)
- Changes to bubble overshield
- Bonus reload speed and handling
- Synergizes with Helm of Saint-14
🔗 Edge of Concurrence (Hunter)
- Lightning Seekers now stun Overload Champions
- Increased uptime and more build flexibility
- High synergy with other Arc weapons
💬 Are These Exotic Glaives Better?
During initial testing, these glaives felt good, but it's still difficult to find a practical use for them in the sandbox. If Bungie doesn't continue to improve them, why keep them class-specific? None of them have been meta or game-breaking, so why not make them accessible to other classes? This could be the next evolution of these exotic glaives.
🌟 Final Thoughts
It's still difficult for us to find a practical use for these glaives, but if you're already a fan of them, you'll love these changes. Let us know in the comments if you'd like to see these exotic glaives no longer class-specific. Thank you for watching, and as always, slap that like button like your mama to do.
