I have a theory on this. Since we are aware that our year 1 legendaries are dead, we are all pissy about what to do with them. It has been advised by bungie that we DO NOT dismantle them. Combine this with the teaser that we can sacrifice weapons to upgrade another one...there must be a tie. Also, total eradication of these current raid weapons mean we no longer have a useful enemy - specific weapon perk....that would be a large step in the wrong direction, especially since a cabal type weapon perk has yet to arrive... Theory: year 1 raid legendaries (specifically) will have a high purpose. No you cannot ascend vision of confluence. But perhaps....you can combine it with a [i]newer[/i] scout rifle...giving it oracle damage, and perhaps another one of visions trademark perks. Eh? EH? Not a bad idea.
