I don't know if your aware of this, but your coming of as a whiny entitled, player. I'm just putting up my input, the truth as it is, and your essentially assaulting me verbally. The only one showing any form of disrespect here is you. I was talking strictly about level (and therefor armor). It doesn't matter if your 32 or 34 playing the nightfall, your going to take the same amount of damage. Yes, the ascended weapons make a -slight- difference unless your measuring the gap between 300 attack and 365 attack weapons. But this difference is kind of minuscule, maybe your primaries will kill slightly faster, but if your using 331 specials and heavies, (and you can still ascend exotics easily enough), what takes you 2 seconds to kill someone a guy with ascended weapons might do it in 1.7 seconds.
