Very true. But my post is not about nascent class balance. It is purely about armour balance. There is room for improvement and I call on Bungie to balance the example I gave, e.g. by buffing lock chests. The naked classes are well balanced despite the complexity in doing so.

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.

IMHO the excess of hadronic trash mats is daft.
