pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Glaives don’t have a ton of useful perks on them. Impulse amplifier gives those “shots” the extra juice they need to hit targets. Vorpal weapon does allow you to hit majors hard. This glaive, while better than Enigma, is just an arc alternative to Lubrae’s Ruin. Which is not a problem." Recommended MW - Reload.

[YeezyGT's S18] [MW: Handling] "Glaives are not what you think they are. Glaives are not melee weapons. They are instant-use, renewable (portable) shields, with a low skill floor and high skill ceiling. They're built around mid-health single-target cleanup, ranged instant kills, re-directing enemy aggro, and at worst, mitigating the consequences of poor gameplay decisions. Build into maximum Handling, with Impulse Amplifier being non-negotiable." tags:god-pve

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Glaives in PvP are still not my favorite choice, especially now with the scavenger nerf. Non-OHK special weapons struggle to keep up, and the three melee hit kill is extremely underwhelming." Recommended MW - Handling.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 261. PvE backup roll for end-game content. Shapeable. The Extrovert origin perk is most useful for CQC (within 15m). Demolitionist is always useful for better grenade regeneration, and Frenzy or Vorpal Weapon give decent damage boosts. You'll need to be up close, so improve the shield with Auxiliary Reserves in the haft and reload (and a bit of range) with Light Mag. Recommended MW: Reload Speed or Range, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 261. PvE first-choice roll for Arc subclasses in end-game content. Shapeable. The Extrovert origin perk is most useful for CQC (within 15m). Get ready for Arc 3.0 with a Demolitionist and Adrenaline Junkie roll. Without Impulse Amplifier, you'll need to be up close to land shots, so improve the shield and reload with the haft and mag. Recommended MW: Reload Speed or Range, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 261. PvE backup roll for end-game content. Shapeable. The Extrovert origin perk is most useful for CQC (within 15m). You'll need to be pretty close, so improve the shield with Auxiliary Reserves in the haft and reload (and a bit of range) with Light Mag. Impulse Amplifier helps a lot with projectile speed, and Frenzy or Vorpal Weapon give decent damage boosts. Recommended MW: Reload Speed, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 261. PvP first-choice roll. Shapeable. The Extrovert origin perk is most useful for CQC (within 15m). Get the projectile speed as fast as possible through getting the range as high as possible (85, including Masterwork), and then add Impulse Amplifier on top. Landing a shot will give you enough of a shield to tank any return fire when you follow up. There's nothing much useful in the second trait column, so Unstoppable Force at least gives you an opportunity for bonus damage. Plus you're a ninja with a poleaxe! Recommended MW: Range, with a Backup Mag or damage-boosting (Minor, Major or Taken Spec) mod.

Inspired by DMB Podcast 266 conversation with @legoleflash. PvP first-choice roll for duelling. Get the range up to 80-85 with Haft. Mag and Masterwork, then Impulse Amplifier improves your bolt speed further, and adds a little to the slow reload speed. Unstoppable Force adds 30% if you take damage to your shield, which can help finish off opponents with Restoration effects active. Masterwork: Range, with a Freehand Grip mod - this pairs well with a Glaive Targeting mod on your helmet.
