warlockmaggie (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Greasy Luck, like other Rapid-Fires, is really best used for Melee combat (lowest shot damage, range, and shield duration), but unfortunately, only 2 Perks (one for each column) actually work with that: Melee Momentum and Close to Melee. Otherwise, you can try established perk combos (Incandescent and Heal Clip), but since they only proc with projectile kills, well... that's glaives for you." Recommended MW: Shield Duration or Range.

warlockmaggie (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Glaives in PvP tend to have a truly hit or miss tendancy. If you want to bring up the shield duration, Replenishing Aegis and Unstoppable Force can give you a more rounded option. But to actually lean into the archetype, you'll want the two melee perks instead (plus some extra handling never hurts)." Recommended MW: Handling or Shield Duration.
