I'm at the point in LL where I am getting almost everything at tier 4 and tier 5 drops with pinnacles (not reached 450 yet) but I am still using a couple of tier 3 armor items because I can't even get the basic armor archetype e.g grenadier with the third stat that I want in a tier 4.
So when I hit 450 which will be soon, and I am supposedly going to be "swimming in tier 5s" according to others, I can see that it will take a long time to just replace my 4 armor pieces (minus exotic) with tier 5 replacements as I haven't managed to do that with tier 4 for even 1 set so far.
So to your point, I cannot imagine how hard it would be to add the armor types e.g. techsec into that equation as I am not even bothering with that!

I forgot to mention, what made it easier now is that all bonus drops are T5s as well (B grade or above) so it makes farming armor pieces more bearable, even though you’re still at the mercy of RNG…either way, good luck grinding!

I've been running pvp and even though there is only 1 completion reward and hardly any bonus drops, I am often getting two tier 5s for a B+ win, I've got quite a lot of tier 5s in my vault now but most of them don't work in my builds. Hoping FotL will cause it to rain!

Well, you do not start to swim in T5s at 450, that was before the power cap raise to 550. I only begun to get all T5s after I hit 475. After that, it took me a few days of solo ops and mix of fireteam and pinnacle ops to get all the armor I wanted to make every build I need and replaced my perfect T4 armor stat sets.
