Wasted charges?

SCROLL TO BOTTOM TO SEE UMBRAL MATH IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE READING.. Got 7 "high" armor pieces that all had low 50's for stats. 5 charges and its always a bad roll... Always. LET'S BREAK THIS DOWN One was free but the other 6 takes 5 charges each (a total of 30 is needed, and you can only get a max of 2 each battleground run; even with all perks). Each charge takes 14 cabal gold, so you need 420 gold. Im getting 8 gold per match (gambit and crucible were giving me the same, so I just ran gambit) and the strikes are only 3-5. Thats 52.5 activities, sometimes you get gold from smashing the tribute chest (1-2 gold) so we'll say 50. To try 6 times for "better" armor you need to do 50 matches (they're usually 8-10 min a piece so we'll say 9) and 15 battleground runs (time really depends on what one u get, just going with 9 again). So 65 runs at 9 min a piece is 585 minutes. 9 and 3/4 of an hour (excluding load times and/or mishaps). 20 SOMETHING ON THE STAT I WANT AND ALMOST NOTHING ELSE. EXP. GAUNTLETS RECOVERY ROLL MOBILITY- 2 RESILIENCE- 2 RECOVERY- 27 DISCIPLINE- 7 INTELLECT- 8 STRENGTH- 11 Thats 57 total and this was one of the better rolls I got. Gauntlets I've got after a 10 min activity had 67 pts. But the ones that took me 10 hrs to try and get a good roll on have 57 total, with some strength and pretty much nothing else that will mean anything. So in all 6 HIGH ARMOR ROLLS WILL TAKE 65 GAMES AND ABOUT 10 HOURS. I'VE TRIED 7, AND ALL WERE TRASH ROLLS MY BLUES COULD BEAT.

  • i agree with pretty much everything you said but with all the perks, you can get up to 3 charges in 1 run, i've had it happen several times. it takes more gold up front (28) but it does reduce the number of runs. that said, i stopped trying to do tier 3 focusing awhile ago. just not worth the time/effort. i've gotten better gear by doing tier 1 chosen armor focusing than what tier 3 gives.
