While you may think that carrying around otherwise "useless" legendaries to fill up your weapon slots is a bane, I'm the opposite. All the weapons/armor I carry on my titan all have a purpose. Just my primaries alone, I carry three exotics and three equivalent legendaries (AR for AR, Scout for Scout, etc.) This is for 2 reasons: A) obviously to be able to swap out gear because of the current litmitations (which I think is fair) and B) The actual stats of the gear. Ex: I have the Mida Muli Tool and Aries Nemesis Scout rifles. The Mida allows me to move around faster, has a faster fire rate, and still has a solid punch. But the Nemesis punches harder and has the firefly perk, which will allow me to do aoe damage to a cluster of enemies as i pop their skulls. As such i consider both of those weapons equally valuable to me, despite the difference in quality. The same goes for my armor. I main as a Titan, and with my current variety or armor choices, I can switch my gear around with whatever situation I'm going into. My general purpose setup uses the Armamentarium, which allows for a good on the fly adaptability if i need it. If i just wanna wreck shop, I'll switch to the Helm of Inmost Light. If I'm going into control or Nightfalls with buddies, I'll swap to defender and Helm of Saint-14. If I'm going into skirmish, I'll swap to No Backup Plans and defender, using my little made up subclass i call "aggressor". But point being all of my legendary armor [i]compliments[/i] all of my setups, so the difference in gear quality really doesn't bother me at all. Now after the DLC is released and the exotics are changed, this might put a dent in how effective my gear may perform. But then again, it might not be so drastic a change that my legendary quality gear becomes obsolete. We won't know the full details until that change goes into effect. Even then, new legendary quality gear will be sold by vendors and offered as prize drops. So I think the change won't be so bad.

  • I'm not saying the legendaries are completely useless, situationally, they are brilliant (I love my Corrective Measure and Visions of Confluence) but more that the bulk of my weapons and armor (the exotics) are forced into relegation because of the exotic limitations.

  • It is what it is. IMO, even if there weren't any limitations, I still think some legendaries outclass some exotics. Granted, there may be some really over-the-top OP setups without the limitations. But I think the only real benefit to exotic gear of any type is the special perk each piece has. Other than that, not much else. I know if my case i would still juggle around the gear I had if no limitations were in place. I would just have a little bit more freedom of choice in setup.
