[quote]Get rid of doubles and legendaries that aren't from the raid [/quote] This is the best advice for optimum results I like to have a decent Auto/Pulse/HC/Scout for primary - Sniper/Shotgun/Fusion for Secondary and Rockets/Machine Guns Special Try to cover all damage types Arc Void and Fire so you've no issues with the nightfalls - Max them up and smelt the rest, you'll need the shards when upgrading.
