[quote]There's a difference between what you used because you wanted to and what you used because it's viable.[/quote] Nope, not for me. I [i]wanted[/i] to use things [i]because[/i] they were viable- [i]for me.[/i] [quote]Why would you use Hezen's Vengeance over Hunger of Crota?[/quote] Because I preferred the way it's cluster bombs feel, and I usually use rockets for mobs/AOE/Area Denial (which is easier without Tracking, which I'd gladly trade for Tripod, any day). [quote]Why would you use Devil You Know over Fatebringer?[/quote] I like it better for PvP, and I perform just as well with it against mobs in PvE as long as Arc damage doesn't come into play, so I like it better for patrol. [quote]Why would you use Astral Horizon over Found Verdict?[/quote] Because its void, and it generally fits my playstyle better, for both PvE AND PvP. High-Impact, Army of One, and Flared Magwel work well for me, and having those has been much more helpful than Full Auto (which I don't use on FV, anyway). [quote]Statistically, those were poor decisions. (PvE)[/quote] Says who? Bro, you can focus on "stats" all you want, but if I'm getting better results with them, then [i]of course[/i] they're the better choice, because [i]duh![/i] What matters is how well they perform for [i][u]me[/u][/i]. [quote]That may not matter to you, but I think you'd find that a whole lot of people would agree with me.[/quote] Right back at you. While you and your type might have an autistic-level attachment to the "statistically" [i]best[/i] gear, myself and [i]my[/i] friends couldn't give 2 shits about what was the best [i]on paper[/i]; we played with what worked best [i]for us[/i], period.
