So Crafted weapons have essentially overshadowed adept, even with what Bungie is trying to do with the new raid ones.
Way easier to get, sometimes way less time consuming and stats are almost 1 to 1 in things like imperial decree and astral horizon.
I think providing adept loot some special capabilities unique to them that cannot be adquired any other way might make this loot once again worth chasing, be it adding even better base stats or hidden archetype perks that are just for them.
