True. But there are a lot of people who don't understand the value of even rares and automatically shard what could be used to infuse into a legendary that has a +5 mod thus artificially increasing it's power level. That also applies to legendary items one has not acquired yet. So if you have a stockpile of 'good' blues, saving them for that reason is a good idea.
Note: you can do the same with Exotics as well. They too can be infused to increase their base power level,
It's something a large number of players have yet to notice since it's not explained in the game.

Yeah, I don't dismantle if I know I could use that higher power on another weapon with the same archetype. In general I know what I need, so when I get duplicates I usually swap with the lower power one I have them shard the old one. Or I just immediately infuse it into something I have equipped. Only time I shard a duplicate immediately is when I end up getting 2 or 3 in a row from engram's and have no use for their power level elsewhere (really annoying when that happens).

Edited by zNapSack: 9/28/2017 5:31:48 AMI save them anyway in case I get something later where it could be useful. When I run out of room in the vault I can shard legendary items for marks or delete blues for weapon parts and turn em into Banshee 20 feet away. That way I'm always gaining something from nearly anything. Btw, I'm still working on squeezing water from a rock but I expect a technological breakthrough soon. >;)
