What faction do you push? And why?
Hi,
I am running between the factions and trying to get an idea, what faction I should push, but I just can't get it.
There are obviously three "free" factions who do offer different stat combinations and it depends on your style of gaming, which one you want to join (New Monarchy - Intellect&Strength, Future War Cult - Intellect&Discipline and Dead Orbit - Discipline&Strength). Then there is the Vanguard and the Crucible. Obviously its PvE or PvP.
BUT... the free factions and the other two don't make a huge difference, e. g. FCW has a helmet 48INT + 44 DISC, Vanguard has a helmet 41INT + 51 DISC and Crucible has a helmet 43INT + 49 DISC. So what's the deal with those? Do those point differences of 5 points in one or another direction make a difference?
I always thought I will do INT and DIS, since I want fast Radiance and fast grenades, but now I realized I really do melee A LOT, so I need that strength, which concludes to STR and INT for me, which is either New Monarchy, Vanguard or Crucible.
I like PvP, so it's Crucible or New Monarchy and at this point, I have no idea.
I have the feeling, the Crucible offers more choice, so why should I do New Monarchy anyway, besides I really do not like the look of the faction represant.
I wanna build a sunsinger with focus on Radiance and Scorch.
What do you push? And why?

I don't understand why I should bother. I have legendaries and by the time I came to start thinking about a faction I already had tons of vanguard rep and marks. I don't see the point of these factions unless they offered side quests specific to their cause with rewards. It is the same as race and class. They should all have individual quests specific to their lore which teaches you about what it means to represent that race, class, faction. The factions are one aspect of this game which I have literally not even visited because I don't see the point. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something... Am I?
