I hear ya. I will say since I finally obtained some legendary armor it's felt a bit more level, which allows me to better play my role. however that's only after numerous upgrades which I now have two more ready to go if ascendent shards were not ridiculously difficult to obtain. I must add that rare armor upgrades are very easy to obtain as warlocks have more hadronic essance th an we know what to do with, perhaps pre-light leveling that was what was intended.
