Not so Powerful Engrams
Several times in a row now my Heroic Strike engrams are not rewarding me any significant Light level progression if at all. I'm consistently getting items that are for my higher level gear (sometimes the same slot over and over) rather than lower, essentially forcing my gear to be "min-maxed" and often making my powerful gear worthless as a result. For example, recently I had gotten some boots that were 367, but my current boots were already at 367. Same happened for a rocket launcher I had obtained, but the sword I was carrying was the exact same Light level so it was nothing more than infusion material for a weaker launcher.
Not sure if this is affecting other powerful engrams but it's certainly a problem for the Heroic ones. Can we please fix this so Powerful gear prioritizes lower Light gear instead of the RNG min-max?

I think the issue is that those few items are the only things pulling up your power level while others are significantly lower and the last few powerful engrams weren't enough to actually raise you past the softcap you were at. If what drops is the same item as your max highest power items that you already infused the last time, it can't give you something higher than what you already got. The only way to raise your power would be to raise the light on either your lowest power items through normal engrams or hope for RNG to give you an item that isn't one of the ones you've already infused a max power item into.
