With the recent glaive buffs I've grown to really enjoy them (the slow reload hurt them for me). Previously I liked Vexcalibur due to its many perks, but that was it. Then Bungie caught my attention when it teased a Strand glaive for Act 2.

However, if you look at its perk pool, it's barely a strand glaive - it only has a single Strand-related perk. Granted, not having Tear makes sense since glaives don't crit. But what about Hatchling or Slice?

Missed opportunity in my book. What do y'all think?

Are glaives any good for any of the endgame or boss rush stuff? I like glaives but they are pretty up close that doesn’t seem to gel with the harder stuff I’d rather be doing. I run warlock.

I’m still experimenting and just asked a friend who likes using glaives in GMs. I suspect what works is a mix of damage perks and high energy generation, because the shield is quite valuable.

The buffs across the entire weapon class this act helped a lot—damage, projectile tracking, reload, and maybe something else? Big upgrades all around.

The vanguard stasis glaive with chill clip is a favorite among glaive enjoyers. I think you can still farm it, at least with engrams.
