pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): Recommended MW: Shield Duration. Rapid-Fire Glaive(80) Solar Glaive Special Ammo. "Greasy Luck sounds weird to say but is an all around good glaive. Lead from Gold works with the rise of double special weapon builds. Disruption Break is fantastic on a glaive for those ranged shields and keeps another good perk like Incandescent. It’s no longer an either-or. Redirection will be really strong on Greasy Luck if you use it right, I do not know how it interacts with the melee, so you’ll have to report back to me on that one use case."

pandapaxxy (PvP / Controller): Recommended MW: Range or Shield Duration. Rapid-Fire Glaive(80) Solar Glaive Special Ammo. "In PvP I can see more blinting possibilities with Greasy Luck. Tied with the highest base handling at 61 with Unexpected Resurgence and shooting faster I can see a lot of players using this weapon to swap almost like a bow, but with a shield. Opening Shot also makes this a really compelling argument. With Disruption Break you can swap to your kinetic and deal 50% more damage, the projectile for Greasy Luck does 105 damage, almost enough to break all tier’s shields. Could be fun, let me know how it feels glaive users."

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 67 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3wGaXiUGMNodLkPkGFdBd3?si=42e0db2e63a443b7) with @CourtProjects, @ImpetusAlways and @Saint_Kabr. First-choice PvE pick for minor add clear in general activities. The first rapid-fire legendary glaive, which looks like it offers high rate-of-fire, handling and reload speed, but lower range, impact and shield duration. Supercooled Accelerator seems like the best of the haft perks to boost the range, or Auxiliary Reserves helps shore up the Shield Duration, both at the cost of one or both of handling and reload. There's not really a top pick for your mag, except to avoid Extended Mag. For glaive melee fans, the combination of Disruption Break in the first trait slot as the support perk weakens targets by 50% to kinetic damage for 5.5s once you've broken their shield with a glaive bolt and guess what? Glaive melees are kinetic, so you can slash away to your heart's content. If enemies don't have a shield, Close to Melee in the second column as the signature perk boosts your glaive melee damage by 30% for 10s for getting a projectile kill, with the timer being refreshed by 5s after another melee kill. The Restoration Ritual origin trait is also occasionally useful for an instant reload after proccing. Recommended MW: Stability, with a damage-boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) or Backup Mag mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-MinorSpec, PvE-God, Controller, M+KB
