People have yet to realize, it's not about leveling hard, it's about leveling smart. You don't need to infuse everything you have, and you don't have to infuse to go up in Light. During the campaign, just equip the higher light gear that drops and use it. Do that till 500. At that point, Infuse only weapons you -must- have and your one or 2 exotic armor pieces that are required for what you want to do. Continue equipping the higher light armor you get, and infuse weapons when it makes sense. That trend should continue until 540 or 560, at which point, it makes sense to solidify what armor you will be using, and thus infusing.
There is no reason to infuse everything, or even most things. And masterworking is so expensive that it needs to only be done on the best of the best weapons and armor.

[quote]There is no reason to infuse everything, or even most things.[/quote] Who does that? You've got to have a primary that can deal with mobs, close in mediums and ranged.You've got to have a ranged arc, solar and void special. You've got to have an arc/solar/void heavy that can deal with the sponges. And... you have to keep all those pieces up to the light level of the activity you're running. I haven't even talked about armor... I only infuse my best stuff, when I can move the needle 10 points - that's for ~9 guns and 5 pieces of gear. Way too many mouths to feed, so you play 5-10 points down from where you should/could be.

This. My warlock is 554 and my Titan is 549. Neither are ever that power level in standing gear. Usually 4-8 points under what it SHOULD be if I were to equip things that wouldn't make sense.

you would be shocked at the number of people that just automatically infuse everything until they have nothing left. And there are folks out the with an entire vault page that they -have- to have brough up to current in their minds. Me, I'm a minimalist, and I have my short list of things I always want, but there's always someone out there.

I haven't even infused a single old exotic. Nightfall week 1 was easy enough with any exotics.
