So a hot topic in this second wave the EP backpack working standalone, which i honestly find wonderful since it makes an gear set an interesting thing to lix and match taking in consideration that as a solo piece you would lose brand and set bonus compared to a regular high end and full set. Honestly think that MORE gear set pieces should become standalone for actual build variety sake, case in point was the OD backapck that also worked standalone, but was never a problem because it's useless with no use even a downgrade for the own gear set.
While this change was made to fix PVP issues, i instead complain that this kills build variety outside of it, in my case i bring forth OD gear set that has an absolutely atrocious, not competitive in PVE or PVP either, the EP actually helped it to become "decent" build, it also helped to keep ridgeway that was heavily bashed as the worst exotic.
So yeah i honestly think you devs screwed up a bunch of builds as collateral for PVP fix, i have pointed out underpowered builds that only became decent because of EP.
This involve me pointing out old left behind gear sets that didnt get adjusted properly making things about feedback on PTS and official forums being a lie
