I often use weapons that are not the most powerful. Simply because they have the appropriate properties to take out the intended target. Other times I'll bust something out just for fun. (Like hard light) [actually super use full on vex gates as it will damage the gate behind the spawn too] None of my purple items are maxed out with those orbs. .. and I get the most kills in poe. . So telling me not everyone uses the most powerful thing.. isn't much of a argument because I feel otherwise right .. It's just a different option. My point of view
