I have 250+ ascendant shards and energies yet I got 9 ascendant energies from both nightfalls this week. I have received boost already from the crota raid, yet I had the exact same drops as you. The new boots I got had pure strength, same as my previous pair, just a lower value. After my wife had a blue primary turn into the saterinne rapier crucible scout rifle which I worked my ass off to get the crucible marks for even though I hate pvp in destiny...which has the same op perks as the vendor's and the fatebringer, just with a larger clip... I decided to go back to pc games.
