Personally I really like what Bungie has done with the weapons and armor in The Taken King. I like that the light actually matters now and is not just some secondary stat that is tied into your armor. My current favorites are pretty much all of the new scout rifles ( I wish there was a Year Two MIDA), most of the raid weapons are sweet, in particular I really like the machine gun and the rocket launcher (mine effectively replaced my Truth, it has tracking, javelin, and is just bad ass), also I think the swords, both Legendary and Exotic are pretty cool. I do not like what they have done to The Last Word, it feels severely underpowered, the shotguns in general feel weaker in PvE, but somehow I still get shit from in PvP from what seems like 10 yards away! Also most of the new snipers are pretty nice, the 1000 yard stare has taken the spot of the LDR and I got a pretty cool Omolon one from the Gunsmith that is solar. Also I think the Tao Yuan or whatever it is called is good. The only Year One exotic I am missing is the 4th Horseman, and Destiny just doesn't want me to have it apparently! I have had decent luck with the Three Of Coins, but I seem to ALWAYS get either a Primary, Chest, or Helmet engram. I have yet to receive a Special weapon exotic engram.....so I have no thoughts on the new Invective, Telesto, or the Hereafter. And still no Spindle for me.
