The one thing that a lot of primary and secondary weapons lacked that the melee weapons had was the 8x stealth multiplier. Even then, there weren't many melee weapons that could take much of an advantage of that since shooting them with a bow would've been a lot faster and quicker. However, the glaive prime and other throwing weapons could take advantage of that and deal very high dmg that would scale even up to lvl 60 and 70 enemies. I've seen 100k dmg numbers while using the glaive prime. Even then, weapons like the Dread still outpaced it in speed, efficiency, usability and damage. So you could say that it's more of an alternative if your using a rifle and you need to be stealthy. For example, one of the stealth mastery tests can be cheesed with the glaive. The only problem was that the redeemer pretty much beat the glaive in almost every single category except for range. And even then, the redeemer still has a decent spread that works at range. I honestly think that glaives need to be changed mechanically. For example, I think that the charge attack should have separate stats from the normal attacks (higher crit chance and crit dmg or status chance). Or we can simply get a mod for the glaive type weapons.
