I got gauntlets and helmet from the legendary engrams today.

I'd kill to get shards right now. I've been doing public events and still only getting motes of light and the daily are only giving me ascendant energies. It's like my character is destined to never get shards. I'm stuck buying legendary gear and dismantling it for shards. I'd be 31 now if I just had more shards.

I've had 4 legendary engrams since the DLC 2 turned out to be exotics! One for my class actually, just keep grinding

Use ascendant material to get to 31 for new vanguard or crucible gear
