A couple Cultures and a couple Amplifiers are not all that hard to get. I don't say that to simply come off as an elitist prick. I know it could easily be taken that way, but it honestly is not difficult to get them. It could also be that is an area in which RNG has been good for me. *shrugs* I do get an occasional Advanced Paradox Amplifier while doing Heroic Strikes. I didn't know that was a possibility. If you don't want it, you don't want it. I get that. I haven't been impressed with any of the guns from the LP's except for the Shotgun and I HATE shotguns. I'm no good with them. :) I actually like that one for some reason. I'm just thinking that if you save the ones you don't like until the end (and if you want the Shell), then you will have to grind your way through several in a row that you don't want. Space the 'bad' out with the 'good' ones and it may not feel so grindy. Heck, if you have no interest in getting the shell... dump that Prophecy and move on to another one.
