I am liking how the Crota roads are dropping more gear, and more variety. I've been saving up most of my gear drops so far, and right now have 16 extra pieces, plus a few exotics fully leveled up. After looking over my inventory last night, I realized I am only two leveled-up armor pieces away from creating a triple threat Warlock. What I mean by that is I will be able to change up armor pieces mid-game. Do this and change the type of grenades I can use, to meet whatever the situation/scene dictates. The other bonus is that I will be able to do this by 1) without losing my Level 32 status (I will stay Level 32 regardless of what combo I use) and 2) also maintaining good stat rolls (Super at or close to 100%, grenades between 55 to 70%, etc...)
Version 1 - VoidFang Vestaments Exotic Chest piece - Swap this exotic on, this allows the extra axion bolts and damage stuff, with Voidwalker grenades.
Version 2 - Starfire Chest piece - Swap this exotic on, I can get double fusion grenades perk. Bonus here? I don't have to use the Warlock's double grenade mod. I can then use another mod. Still get two grenades, but now can use other things like the levitation perk or other extra burn damage perks.
Version 3 - Sunbreaker Exotic gloves - Swap this exotic on, I can go to the double grenade warlock mod, but this exotic pieces gives a perk of making the solar grenades burn time go from 4.75sec to 9.00 seconds!!! This is a huge addition and big help when doing the Crota Abyss section (especially solo). You give yourself an extra 4.25 seconds around the lamppost, to reduce your darkness level....the run becomes much much easier. Also a huge bonus in PvP. One solar grenade sitting on a control flag for nine seconds, then throw another? 18 seconds of annoyance to opponents lol.
Very nice how this Crota drop stuff worked out. Didn't even really plan this out, it just sort of happened. All I need to do is some re-swapping of gear tonight, and then level up two new gear pieces. The XP part is done on all my extras, I just need to use to radiant shards. I need 42, only have 34 now. Should be able to get them this week.
All in all, this really balances out my three Warlocks. My 1st Warlock is now a triple threat. Compliments my 3rd Warlock, which uses the Obsidion Mind Exotic helmet...making it a VoidWalker super producing machine. And my 2nd Warlock, it can switch back and forth between the Skull helmet Exotic, and a 2nd Obsidion Exotic helmet. It is kind of a dual purpose Warlock too.
