Why does the one item that distinguishes you from all other classes have to be tied to light level?
It would be better if we had the freedom to wear any class item without it affecting light, if only for the sake of customisation.
Inb4 people yell "b but Muh infusionnnn!"
Don't be silly, infusing multiple items of a higher level just to get one item to the same level, for the sake of looks[b][/b], is not feasible when you need to keep light high as possible for damage sake.

Yeah, it's like they take one step sideways, and one step back. Etheric Light and Infusion are great systems for differentiating guardians so not everyone is running around with the most recent raid gear, but it makes no sense to add light level to class items. Their whole purpose is to add personality, and by doing so, they spit in the face of veteran players who still have AoS#Cryptid cloaks and Cloaks of the Sojourn. It creates uniformity, and I don't like it. Next they'll be clipping light levels to emblems, ships, shaders and emotes...
