So what is the health difference then? And I have to say, I hate this whole "the red is your health, the white is shield" crap. So does defense only matter on health? Give me numbers Bungie! This is supposed to be part RPG right, why he hell do we not see our health number? You give us this arbitrary defense stat, that I am still convinced is a lie even in PVE, or at least so convoluted that it seems useless. The only numbers that seem to have any meaning is light level ( a dumb way to make leveling into an rng nightmare if you ask me, and a bad way to make "gear score") and the stats that reduce cool downs. I am not saying you are wrong Wiseone, I just want things to be more clear.
