It's annoying that we have to have specific elements (Void, Arc, Solar) for certain mods. Some Exotics have no place in certain builds now because of it.
Armor 2.0 was supposed to enable us to have more customization options but with the combo restrictions and the insane cost of materials (and especially glimmer) needed, creating a build just isn't fun. It's a chore.
Funnily enough, with the increased number of options and the ability to make very specific builds ( or at least attempt to), I've put less time into builds now than I ever have.
Some of the restrictions seem like they exist just for the sake of having restrictions.

At this point, I'm not even focusing on the elements. It's too much to handle. I'm going for 5 energy. If it drops with 5, I keep it. I'll cater my loadout to whatever mods can slot into it at that point. Not really the definition of play how you want, but it is what it is. Also, funny thing, all blues seem to drop with 5 energy, because why the heck not. Just rub it in our faces that it takes forever for a legendary to drop at 5 in the armor set you want.
