Etheric Light is Useless Right?

So.. Since everything has gone down to 170 damage what is the point of doing POE? Maybe I a missing something but I do not see the need to earn this anymore. Thoughts, comments?

  • No it's not useless if you use one on yourself after you unlock the new subclass it fully upgrades said subclass

    • Everything was normalized. 170 Attack is the same as the old 365 Attack. At this moment, the only reason to get Etheric Light is to continue to upgrade old year 1 gear to 170 Attack/Defense. With the change in the light leveling system, you could potentially still get away with using a piece or two of year 1 gear if your other gear is high enough.

    • The thing I've learned about bungie is not to delete stuff just because it's useless at the moment. I broke down so many pulse rifles when they sucked only to wish I had them after the buff.

        • I'm not sure if etheric will still be used to level the TTK legendaries, but I wouldn't get rid of it just yet. Let those materials simmer in case they become applicable to TTK weapons
