What's the Worst Exotic ARMOR in Destiny 2?

What's the single worst piece of Exotic Armor in Destiny 2? Let's find out. Today I'm reviewing some of the most underperforming PvE Exotic Armor in the game. TL;DR - Bungie, Buff these pieces of Exotic Armor (unless they'd destroy PvP. Then they can stay gone)
Shoutout to the LONG-BARREL Patreons, of which there is only ONE: MELANIE!!!

I think the fact that Promethium Spur wasn't even mentioned says so much about how forgettable it is lol

[potatis]

Promethium Spur definitely takes the spot for Warlocks. They reworked it a while ago, and it made it *worse*. You cant even get a combination rift without jumping through a bunch of hoops for the most mediocre reward of all time!

Crest of Alpha Lupi: "Generate extra orb when killing enemies while behind your barricade. Kills while behind your barricade grant you cure"

[nair_kid]

The worst part is, Crest of Alpha Lupi doesn't even work with thruster. Arc Hunters having 3 exotics dedicated to their worst super is criminal, and honestly if all 3 of them were combined, it probably still wouldn't see use. Having 2 exotics dedicated to guarding is so niche it doesnt make sense and they should just combine them. Also shoutouts to warlocks not having a super damage buff option until this expansion, while titans have had it since vanilla, and hunters star eaters being so broken they've had to change it multiple times. Skull of ahamkara's DR is so useless ive still self destructed with it active, whats the point

[TheNerdman]

It's hilarious to me how Skull is almost entirely strictly worse than Nezarec's Sin

[maxxorb]

Thrust doesn't work with lupi, you healed in that clip due to the orb you picked (which also triggered the fragment that synergies with your super type thus you received an overshield).

[t.e.oproject]

The arcstaf heavy palm already does blind, so does the dive attack

[dougcarey]

In addition to its healing, I think Crest should be like Nez's Sin and Aeon gauntlets had a baby. You pick an ability (nade, melee, class), and Crest will grant you x2 regen for that ability and your super for 2 seconds per kill, stacks up to 6 seconds. Then, when you use said ability, it heals you and nearby allies.

The Skull should get the Geomag treatment for void super spam. Picking up breaches gives bonus super energy. Warp kills extend its duration, Cataclysm and Vortex hits refund up to 50% super energy based on damage dealt. Vortex should also last longer, and Cataclysm should spawn more seekers on detonation. Both supers should travel a little faster.

Sealed Ahamkara Grasp gang. We remain forgotten.

[braydenpeck]

Promethium Spur is so bad for a lot of reasons
1) has to be solar super (dawnblade to be the most effective)
2) have to use a solar weapon to get class ability regen perk
3) have to already be in a rift and have rift energy charged (48 seconds with tier 10 recovery) then get a kill, to make a combo rift at the targets location (probably somewhere not helpful)

I honestly can't think of any other exotic that requires this much setup to get such a small return

[wwr]

I lol'd in public at 'HAMKARA'

[wazdoom]

This was just a the tip of the iceberg in terms of bad/borderline useless exotics, this topic could definitely have its own video per class imo

[michaelsparks]

2:33 Alpha Lupi's orb generation could spiced up by making it work with mods like reaper/heavyhanded/etc, but instead of "more orbs" have it bump those effects up a tier by making "better orbs" (at least in PVE). ie, you make a Medium orb, instead of a Small orb. Alpha Lupi would make having 1 of those mods as potent as if you were wearing 2 (or wearing 2 = potency of 3).

[Kuhmodo]

Boy I used to love running into a Jotuun user while I'm wearing Anteus. Boy do i have a surprise for YOU! 😂😂

[VergilsLastName]

The titan needs more exotics with actual benefits to getting behind the shield like how hunters have bombardiers and warlocks have sanguine alchemy

[archieh-d]

Here’s a challenge for you Fallout, I would like YOU to tell me… what is Promethium Spurs exotic effect?

[cameronsalmon]

Reworks I would apply to these exotics:

Alpha Lupi:
Upon activating your barricade, you and allies gain a burst of cure X2 and spawns an orb of power. When your barricade is being attacked it will periodically provide small health bursts behind the barricade. If the barricade is destroyed, a healing remnant will remain.

[sovasova]

Mk 44 stand asides? Anyone remember them? Anyone know they exist?

[lyg]

You got me real fast with Elitist Datto 😂

[TheDragonman]

Skull should have a perk added that helps you get super energy from neutral game stuff, like they did with nighthawk and shards.
