I have the VoG raid gear and all three exotic helmets. I bought a vanguard gauntlet to get to 30. I also got a Sojourns vest(dead orbit) from an engram drop. When selecting gear, I usually decide on what to get by the following: - what are the discipline, strength, and intellect stats? - what are the perks? - does it look decent? I try to match the first 2 with how I am going to play, whether it's a super build, or melee build, and then what weapons I plan on using with that armor to take advantages of the armor perks.
