Who here actually uses Helm of Saint a lot? (Destiny)

Generally, in PvE, it's great for orb generation and shutting down large groups of enemies in close quarters. Spec for Blessing of Light (to refresh shields stepping out and back into the Dawn), Dawn duration, Force Barrier to generate orbs, and Iron Harvest and an LMG.

Throw up the Dawn if you're being rushed (say Hive on Omnigul) defensively or fly in and deploy it amid a group offensively (under Fallen dropships). The AI goes blind, then it attempts to back out of the Dawn. Plenty of time for punches, shotguns, or LMG fire to kill them.

On Nightfalls, especially with Lightswitch, enemies will lunge into the Dawn and kill you. Hang out "behind" it, so the enemies pass through while trying to get to you.

It works on everything except the biggest strike bosses (but works on Omnigul). Hands down the best exotic for Defender in PvE.
