[b]EDIT:[/b] Ok I thought of an idea to solve the problem! Let me know what you think. Bungie could set it so that you keep the Light Level you gain from the highest defence class item you have ever equipped. So the Light Levels (not defence, just the Light that the defence gives you) I get from my current Cloak will still be there when I put on a 30 defence Cloak, but once I find a new highest defence Cloak, I have to put it on once to get the levels, until I get an even better one again. Thoughts? So many people have a favorite Cloak, or Bond, or Mark. When TTK came out, people quickly realized that [b]they are being forced to use one specific class item[/b] all the time, because of the stat restriction. I'm being forced to use my Gunslinger Cloak (Mind you I'm obsessed with it), but I would MUCH rather be using my original FWC Astrolord Cloak. Bungie claimed to have removed the need to use Faction Class items to get rep [i]so that you could use whatever you want[/i] all the time. It ended up restricting you to one or two class items because without them, you don't meet the light level restriction to do raids/strikes/anything, or even damage enemies. I'm posting this in the hopes of Bungie seeing this (I know you lurk on the forums, DeeJ...) so that they are aware that many of us are bummed about this situation. Honestly, I kinda wanted class items to actually do something, but after experiencing it, I have changed my mind. [b]Class Items should stay aesthetic[/b]. Or at the least, just remove the Armour rating and let us have some neat perks as a bonus to looking awesome. One last thing before I hit post: [b]Shaders[/b]. I have noticed that none of TTK class items change with shaders (for Hunters at least, I don't use other classes yet). I have a few rares that I like the design of, but can't use because they are all a pale blue that doesn't match any shader that I like/have. I liked the old system where only [i]most[/i] Legendary Cloaks didn't change colour. So far though, I don't really have any concerns other than these two points though. [b]Overall, good job Bungie! But maybe make a few tweaks to the class items to give us some more freedom.[/b]
