I know Excactly how you feel, excact same happened to me other week, seen this boss looking hand cannon appear, believe it said 'created by superb tech's from Dead Orbit'?, looked awsesome and i really, really wanting good HC, have tried/failed Thorn missive soo many times, anyway, had a full load of bounties to 'cash in' so equiped this and begun levelling, After doing so and looking at progress etc it HIT me (ton of bricks) that max damage was 300! Noo Why? why.. guess i was just too distracted by looks of and perks on it to notice the damage was a pre dlc one, heartbreaking, it surely was, strangely that week i had had a armour piece from pre dlc stats as well, so maybe after the rngGods smiled at last i was glitched outa my reward, or do they still throw in random, useless last level items?, anyway after some thought i decided to dismantle the HC, for the (best bit) grand reward of TWO (no!) Shards! i mean 2 Energy woulda hurt but shards (armour upgrade ones i mean) on top of disapointment and the waste of much xp that was at time needed for another primary i was lvling, think it was about 6 5000's and others were Eris, one day i hope to own HC worthy of equiping, hope it looks as nice as that one as well, so enjoy your good fortune friend, while it lasts, for i fear when House of Wolves arrives were going to be saying goodbye to trusted 'old friends', although they said they did it wrong on Dark Below, will it matter?. will they consider our loved legendaries or just make excotics easilier upgradable. have fun with your HC, just don't use it on me if we meet in IB some day.
