Gear Question
So there I was, minding my own business, finishing off my vanguard marks with a friendly Roc run. We polish off the Earth strike and I get yet another shader that I already have 4 of, and yet another blue engram. I take this engram to the Cryptarch and he decides to troll me.
In return for the 9001st (approximately) Blue engram he gives me a Legendary AR: Do Gooder V. This is the FIRST FSKING LEGENDARY THAT I HAVE GOTTEN FROM THIS GUY SINCE WEEK 3 AFTER LAUNCH. That's right, over 25 levels of BS from the Cryptarch and he decides to give me arguably the best non-raid AR in the expansion.
But what about the perks? It has Counterbalance (increased stability) Field Scout (increased magazine size) and Crowd Control (kills give bonus damage). Not only is it a good AR, it has amazing perks. Why is this bad?
Just that morning I reached level 31 by maxing a full set of (fugly, and I mean FUGLY) Vanguard armor with handcannon perks. #HandcannonMasterRace ... and bloody proud. And the Cryptarch, with a huge grin, gives me that AR.
/sigh. Now do I try for a full set of IB 3.0 AR gear, or do I take the easy route and let this amazing AR rot?

You need to answer one question first: Which gun do you have more fun using? The mats needed to level a whole new set of Gear for a bit of increased reload speed and ammo capacity is a pretty steep path. And you could just level it on the side when you turn in Bounties but don't spend any hard-to-get mats on it for the time being, just to see if something that aligns with what you've got. And you know, you could go through all this Gear swapping and upgrading to "fit" with the AR and then have Hawkmoon drop.
