Interestingly, new armor system makes saving infusion for later harder too. So far I have had no problems due to stocked materials but soon most of us will hit a bottom, I'd reckon. With A1, you could wait to infuse but still get usable perks with armor. Now with A2, new armor with higher light comes with no perks. If you want to save infusion for later, you literally have to play good portion of of the game with perkless armor. All these drive the the game into a single grind for infusion materials, rather than the perfect build
