This is great question and a real dilemma I faced. I too originally felt that Bungie wanted us to play multiple classes and that seemed obvious from the fact that my Warlock had a full set of Titan legendary gear from engrams and drops before his own gear. But I never thought I had the time to run multiple characters at all: 3x nightfalls, heroics, dailies and bounties just seemed too much, especially since we already played the same stuff over and over in the Vanguard strikes. [i]A different reason prompted me to create a 2nd warlock:[/i] Once I beat the raid I kept helping other dads in the same week but would get nothing at all for it. I figured I might as well create another Warlock and share the armor and guns so that I could do a second run on normal and hard while helping others since I would help myself as well. In the first week I was able to get full raid gear and hit 30 just because of the drops across both characters. Now one is 31 and the other is 30 and decked in full VoG raid gear to run that mainly. I do my best not to take on anything but easy bounties with my 2nd character and specifically focus on leveling up armor and guns which means twice as fast as running one character. I think of it more as having copy to ensure I am maximizing the benefits of my play time when I help others. 2 hour raid with only the first chest mattering is not my idea of efficiency. I decided that I should have a PvP focused character and went with a Hunter because of golden gun and had saved the Hunter pieces that dropped (I still have the Titan armor). So my Hunter will enter Iron Banner and then try out Crota's End in due time.
