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.

You can get armor to tier 5 without using really any materials because it's just a handful of shards and glimmer both of which are incredibly easy to get. Plus when you infuse say a vouch safe into another vouch safe you liked using it only costs 1k glimmer now which is much cheaper than the last system. Don't go infusing different gears together and you'll save a ton
