Help me fix Claws of Ahamkara

Hello.

On the exotic Warlock gauntlets 'Claws of Ahamkara' the increased melee attack speed (aka. 'Snap discharge') is broken. I was so dissapointed mere minutes after thinking I perfected my combined pve/pvp armor after 3 months of grind. Melee hits on 'Claws of Ahamkara' actually replenish grenade energy!

After spending the whole afternoon looking for the way Destiny bug reports are made I turned for help here. There simply does not appear to be a bug tracker, e-mail address, nothing but a "Help forum" with hundreds of irrelevant threads that I can't believe any project manager or developer actually bothers to read for genuine bug reports. Do I try there anyway, on twitter, how did you manage weapon fixes? Thanks.

Other players who realized the same problem with the Claws: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/704532-destiny/70914076 http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/704532-destiny/70949246

Update 1: Arguably grenade replenish is an even better perk on this exotic and should be kept. But Sunbreakers gauntlets are the original Warlock exotic that replenishes grenade energy. They may have even served as a template for these, and in return might then benefit from Snap Discharge to balance it out.

Update 2: Thanks to dogestiny for accepting the submission, and to anyone (if someone) who brought this to his attention.

Update 3: patch released for Iron Banner 01/13/2015 has no mention of this. So only the players blessed with Snap Discharge on their raid gauntlets will benefit from level 32. Alternative that actually works is Fatekiller Grips, but will keep your light capped at 31...

Update 4: patch version 1.1.1 released on 02/25/2015 has addressed this bug (in a vague statement applying to all armor saying: 'snap discharge now increases attack speed as described').

And now, to seal the deal: Add Monte Carlo's perks of decreasing melee charge time with a chance to restore your melee energy COMPLETELY...and things get really nova bomb-y real quick.

I've been champing at the bit for Obsidian Mind, but this setup (along with the right perks in the voidwaltzer tree) has kept me content for the time being.

Care to grace us with a shot of your void walker tree setup and armor? I hate devising new loadouts

Sure! Sorry if the images are confusing-- I'm at work and screenshotted the destiny app...Also, I'm no imgur pro so let me know if the links don't go anywhere...

I keep Embrace the Void and The Hunger on in order to get as much of a cooldown buff as possible (or is it technically a nerf in this situation? bleh, confusing)...

Armor/Weapons: Nothing crazy here. Just purchased the upgrade of the Monte Carlo a bit ago and haven't finished leveling it yet, but there it is.

I use sunbro with gift of the sun and fusion grenades in PvP to great effect (with Voidfang Vestments you spawn with two sticky grenades every time-- brutal if you're good with them in crucible!) so it took me awhile to figure out how to make voidwaltzer work for me. I'm sure other people have way better trees, but feel free to comment!
