CBA levelling the glaive

[Koro]

So made a start on the Witch Queen expansion. Frankly, when I look at my glaive, I see a weapon that'll be completely useless come the next expansion. Do I 'have to' level it to continue the story down the line? I'd sooner completely ignore it

idk if theyre working on any updates for the legendary glaives but all the exotics are getting buffs next season. the only story content ive seen in regards to the glaives so far are:
1 craft the glaive
2 get glaive up to lvl 3
3 upgrade glaive
4 mission board quest to unlock exotic glaive.

personally i cant see glaives used in end game content but im sure there are people who can and will. i love playing around with it on lower lvl content like overworld activities, strikes and bounties but thats about it. with the 5 slots used for the seasonal mod for arms i cant really see it being useful for nightfalls and up.

You don't need to level it up.

For the story itself, no.
But this season is centered around the glaive and the mods you can use with it. It's definitely a great weapon to have, and useful, especially against champions.

Until two days pass and it's no longer this season.

True, and we don't have to play the game neither...

you get the exotic glaive by doing all the mission board quest through the witch queen dlc. the one you get at the end of the quest series is dependent on your class. titans get the quest for bubble glaive, healing for warlock, and lighting for hunter. theres a good number of them so it might take some time but i dont remember anything particularly difficult in regards to these quests. though one of the quests towards the end required 3 throne world weapons being crafted. iirc i had to do the pistol, red herring rocket and tarnation heavy grenade launcher. again not hard but if you dont have the mats on hand to craft them then youll have to gather them up.

If we get more champ mods next season for glaives, feel free to use one and level it up by killing enemies. Glaives are actually pretty strong depending on how you're using them.

I've used the glaive almost every time I run a raid, It's extremely useful, You can revive people in higher end content and chop up ads that push you, For this season it's a one shot champion stunning machine that can make work of champions with it's melee and in PVE you can trip people up with it and learn how it works, It's a great weapon archetype, I'm salty that people diss it so much without learning how to use it.
