Why even bother with focused decoding?
So maybe I'm missing a key point here, but if you have to unlock the exotic in your collections to focus decode it, which would allow you to claim it with legendary shards, why would you waste two exotic engrams and an ascendant shard on focused decoding exactly? Cause I don't see the point. I could see it if it would allow me to narrow down what I am claiming to be in the pool of the item I want, or allowing me to get the exact exotic I want, but if I can't do either of those and can only either go RNG or claim from a pool of items when I have that entire pool, why would I not just RNG?

6 RepliesWell, I have pretty garbage luck with exotics from random drops. Not only did it take me MONTHS to get a SECOND contraverse hold, but BOTH of them had trash stats. High mobility? High resil?? When I'm literally running Discipline Armorer on my ghost?? So like, being able to save up exotic engrams (especially with the increased drop rate now!) and focus into Contraverse Holds, it's super nice to me cause I don't have to worry about sectors dropping every other type of gauntlet, AND I don't have to wait for sectors to BE gauntlets, on top of the fact that if I don't like the roll I get, it's no big deal to me cause again, exotic engrams have been dropping like candy lately. It's really just for the sake of focusing for stat farming, and for people like me who have such trash luck in getting what we want, it's a godsend. We only need to get it once, then we can just farm engrams to play slots with them until we get the roll we want.
