The Traveller wants YOU for the Aeon Cult. (Destiny)

So we should probably talk about how the Aeon Cult armors (Aeon Safe, Swift, and Soul) have been fixed to not be useless anymore.

The recent update fixed them so that they actually function according to their description: That Warlocks receive grenade energy, Hunters receive dodge energy, and Titans receive shield energy when any other fireteam member who is also wearing their respective Aeon armor uses their respective ability. This can translate to teams of Warlocks showering grenades on their enemies, etc. You get the idea. Nevin brought this reddit thread to my attention the other day, complete with handy-dandy video evidence like this nonsense here.

I tried this in Reckoning yesterday morning and it was ridiculous. Particularly with a Taken Armaments mod on my gear, I was tossing grenades and firing what seemed like endlessly with my 21% Delirium by virtue of all the Heavies that my grenade kills were netting me. It seems like a well-coordinated team could use this virtually-zero-cooldown method to a great advantage in all sorts of activities. In addition, gear with Ashes to Assets will allow Supers to charge at an accelerated rate by virtue of all the Grenades this allows to be thrown.

So who's down to steamroll some activities?

Nice if everyone wants to be Warlock?

Also, I think its worth noting grenadier was the modifier for the Menagerie when that was recorded…

Certainly worth noting, but the thing is, this does it *instantly*. This is faster than Mayhem in terms of shortening cooldowns. Reddit is saying for Titans, it's been switched to melee energy instead of barricade energy. I encourage everyone to test it to their own satisfaction. It works.

Pretty sure each class helps out the other classes

Warlocks are just the strongest as Grenades are better than a dodge. Titans do have melee though now.

Correct. But being able to go invis on dodge with Way of the Trapper is super handy; and the charged melee buff on dodge with the Hunter's top Arc tree could be fun. I'm trying to get a group together tonight to do some full Aeon Cult menagerie runs. I think we've got me+2 so far. If anyone else is interested, let me know.

UNsure when I am on tonight, but if I do I will check in.
