The Glasshouse problem
Its safe to say this exotic is on the list of exotics that are never used. One could say that it's almost completely useless. If you are using blessing... Once the shield goes down you run back to the bubble and with weapons, it's usually used in a boss fight for example when against atheon you pop the bubble in the back move up shoot till weapons are gone and then back up again. I think the upgrade on it should be changed to one of the two. Grants weapons of light and blessing of light when helmet is equipped Or Double the effects of blessing of light or weapons of light.
These changes could be made to a year 2 version of the glasshouse for when the taken king comes out

3 RepliesHonestly I don't think either of these are a great solution, but I do believe that Glasshouse is underwhelming. As you said, everyone just reenters the bubble to refresh their bonus when it's out, so they only time Glasshouse is beneficial is giving an extra 5 seconds of bonus of you refresh right before the bubble disappears. If it granted both Weapons and Blessing of Light, I think it would be overpowered, and would quickly become the only exotic used by Defenders. The most important choice a Defender has to make for their super is whether to run Weapons, Blessing or Armor, and eliminating that choice by providing them for you isn't the best idea. As for doubling the bonus provided, that would just be insanely overpowered. If a Defender runs Illuminated, the bonus provided by Weapons/Blessing is +35% damage or shield. Doubling that to +70% would make the hardest PvE encounters feel trivial, and would make PvP teams with one or two Defender Titans incredibly hard to beat if they were well coordinated with their bubble usage. I think the best way to make Glasshouse more viable is to have it provide the perk Illuminated for you, so you're always getting the extra damage/shield, and are able to pick a different perk from that tree.
