Yeah this. I hope they they do exactly that or make one giant artifact

A few of us had a similar conversation last night about the artifact. They'd better not be leaving it the way it is. If this is the final artifact and we still have it in 2 years, the community that did stick around will be bored of the same build possibilities from it and will disappear quickly. We decided we'd rather see a few things happen. Champ mods become selectable for weapon type. The surges are still tied to 2 damage types, but the player can pick which two. Weapon damage boosts (like this artifact's understandable lean into swords) are selectable. Basically, open up all the mods from present and past artifacts and let the players choose. Will it stratify player skills and make activities easier? Of course, if that's the way a player builds into it. Realistically, that already happens now. You can find build videos for both meta builds and off-meta, but lots of fun builds easily. I love my Nothing Manacles build right now, but I don't want to be stuck using it as one of the best builds a year from now. I'm not a fan of swords, so I've tolerated this season's artifact that was built for the Praxic. I was introduced to a Necrotic Grips/Thorn/Osteo Striga/glaive build during Heresy. It is fun, but not one I want to raid with under this artifact.

Would be nice to be able to pick the atifact you want. It would open up so many awesome builds again.
