Feel like its worth mentioning. If using Edge of Concurrence you should be running 2x Lucent Blade in your chest slot. Reduces the amount of Glaive projectile hits to reach full energy from 4->3. You also should also be shooting the Lightning Seeker shot directly at enemies and not on the floor. Shooting enemies directly will refund Glaive energy while shooting terrain and having it track will not. By doing this you can have 1/3 of all shots you do be Lightning Seeker shots and at full reserves w/ 2x Lucent Blade be able to shoot this Glaive up to 40 times before running out of ammo. Spark of Resistance is also a natural choice for a Fragment if you want to use the melee portion of the exotic as it shares the same requirements for 25% DR. Even if committing to the projectile it can be worth getting melee kills if you want to overflow the mag for DPS so you can shoot up to 22 times (8 of those being Lightning Seeker shots) before having to reload if you fully commit to it.
Thank you! I completely forgot about Lucent Blade's energy refund, I usually only use that mod when running The Lament haha! I appreciate you taking the time to write these tips!
Oh, one other thing on this: direct hits with the lightning seeker shots have had their damage reduced. Still a good practice to do though despite that the reduced damage from this season.
@ErdinLasc just to clarify what the patch notes meant for those reading, the damage nerf refers to normal Glaive damage so you aren't getting both Lightning Seeker + normal Glaive shot damage in that one shot. The Glaive shot part of it gets significantly reduced to be pretty negligible. Lightning Seeker damage is the same no matter what since you barely get any bonus damage on that direct hit due to the nerf on the Glaive projectile portion. Whether you hit terrain or a enemy directly Lightning Seeker damage is always the same and has no falloff. Damage is still pretty good. The 3 shot loop did damage comparable to a Adaptive Frame Rocket Launcher with Impact Casing and Adept Big Ones Spec from my test on a Hive Guardian though it may vary depending on the enemy type.
I am really happy with its buff but I feel like im being a burden when I dont use a top damage build. Though I kinda wish the healing turrent was something you could use when you consumed your healing grenade.
@@emperorlarry783 yeah when Starfire was the meta not running it really made me feel like I was hurting the team. I got outright told by a friend "we have Lorelei, who needs you?" once.

As a healock I'm so happy about the buff to the warlock glaive
I'll have a build guide using that Glaive up in a week or two! I've been having a blast with it!

gonna try this out was playing around a thr glaive before by itself it’ll be even better w a build for it. thank you
You're welcome! I hope you have as much fun with it as I have!
What was the shader on the arms ?
I think I'm gonna give this build a shot. It looks fun. I need the glaive, though, lol.
Try winterbite instead of the new icebreaker
How do I get the class glaive? Didn’t play back then.
If you own the Witch Queen Expansion, the Glaives can be acquired via a Quest from the Bounty Board on the Enclave!
@@NoOasis thanks
anyone running 3 glaives?
I thought they were pretty good beforehand.
What does your crafted glaive have on it? Or did i miss that in the vid.
