Looking at the gear IB is offering this week makes me feel really bad for PvP elitists. Seriously bad equipment IB has to offer in year 2. The only reason to do IB is for the legendary marks, which are pretty much useless at this stage of the game, and for cosmetic reasons. Other than that the weapon and armor perks suck and the stats aren't much better. Looking at the preview pictures Bungie teased us with for the past couple of days left me and many other players hoping for year two Timur's Lash and Jolder's Hammer. Unfortunately, we are left with nothing close to the greatness of those weapons. On top of that the armor is once again reskins. So another IB opportunity wasted for Bungie to redeem themselves. Looking back at my Timur's lash with final round and luck in the chamber with flared magwell, really makes me miss year one weapons. GG Bungie for continuing to suck ass.

Armor and gauntlets look cool. The chains across the symbol on the Hunter chest armor is pretty stupid. A shame I can't get these with the stats I want outside of having to play PvP, which I absolutely will not do for any reason anymore. A shame they aren't offered for legendary marks without having to rank up - it could even have an additional symbol on it or different color to signify it was purchased outside earning it during the IB event. The IB class items just looks stupid compared to how they were before. And the light level on these items just makes it not worth anyone's time to acquire them.
