Cleaning the Vault : Weapons (Destiny)
The time has come for me to clean out the weapons section of my vault, the thing is I'm having difficulty choosing what stays and what shards.
Should I even keep the year one & two weapons I have? If yes, is there a way for me to figure out what I should keep? If all else fails I'll just make a list over the weekend for what I have in my vault, and let the lot of you peck at it with your collective expertise.
Keep the stuff you enjoy using
Honestly, thats the best way to Destiny.
But if you're insane (heh) like me you could always organise your vault into a museum.

._. This does not help. I can only use one gun at a time. So many things go boom.
Through I am saving a few things for sentimental museum like reasons. Firsts, Elemental Primary, and ... I think that's it.
You enjoy it all equally?
In that case, get rid of duplicates and near-duplicates. There's no point having 3 high RoF autos all with counterbalance, or 6 different Scouts of the same damage archetype.
Pick which ones are the most useful/entertaining and get rid of the middle ground.

What is the best way/site to compare and contrast duplicate armor?
Being that for Year 2.5 one of the best ways to move up light levels above 365 has been through Exotics, I have had to use more and more 3 of Coin than ever before and I have come across more exotics than I have in the past.
Rather than shard duplicates randomly I'd rather make informed decisions. Up until this point I have avoided this part of the "game within the game" (comparing only int/dis/str)
I hear about this "Tier 12" stuff all the time, and have received some tips from you guys on what single piece to buy from Iron Banner or Xûr but don't know how it is that you guys rate a single piece of armor.
I have:
(Year 2/2.5)
2 x Sunbreakers
3 x Claws of Ahamkara
2 x Apotheosis Veil
2 x Voidfang Vestments
etc.
Armor - How to compare duplicates, best way/site
So the most important thing is to decide wherher you're more interested in having the right perks, or being T12 capable. For me personally, I care more about Perks in PvE amd Stat Rolls in PvP.
So for example I have a helmet with Shine On (more super from darkness kills) and Better Already (orbs restore health) that I keep despite it's bad stat roll because I use it for PvE. Similarly, I have an Int-Str Helmet with useless perks but 110 stat roll (out of 111) for PvP. Unless you're very lucky you have to decide whether you want the right perks, or an extra tier of Dis/Int/Str.
Of course, you can reroll Exotics for both, if you so choose. But it might take a while.
To help you compare, here are the max rolls you can achieve:
Helmet 111 (46/55)
Gauntlets 99 (41/58)
Chest 147 (61/86)
Boots 135 (56/79)
Class Item 60 (25/35)
Ghost* 60 (25/35)
Artefact 118^ (38/80)
*The Dread Explorer ghost is a set roll and is always T12 Capable.
^Int-Dis Artwfacts arw broken and can roll higher than this.
I'll also make a separate reply with my exact Armour Deletion rules, which might help.
Someotherguy's Armour Rules
This is the set of rules I use to determine whether I keep a piece of armour. I always try to keep at least one of each Stat Split (Int-Dis, Int-Str, Dis-Str).
Helmet
PvE
Required: Better Already/Rejuvenation - Orbs pickup restores Health
Preferred: Shine On - Extra Super energy from non-guardian kills
PvP
Required: T12 Roll of 109-111 (you can be two points short on every piece of armour and still hit T12. Maybe three? Cant quite recall. Better to play it safe).
Preferred: Better Already/Rejuvenation
Arms
PvE
Required: Sniper Reload/Fusion Reload/Heavy Reload (maybe Shotgun? But less useful than Sniper, Sleeper or Heavy. YMMV)
PvP
Required: T12 97-99
Preferred: Increased Melee Speed, Preferred Primary Reload Speed
Chest
PvE
Required: Sniper Ammo/Fusion Ammo/Heavy Ammo
Preferred: Appropriate Increased Armour Perk (Void for Hunter/Titan, Solar for Warlock)
PvP
Required: T12 145-147, Elemental Armour Perk (one of each. I have a lot of chests)
Preferred: Heavy Ammo (You rarely get enough special ammo to benefit from ammo perks, but Heavy Ammo will often increase the number of rockets you pick up. I don't know if generic Special ammo increases pickup amount from special boxes. Will have to look into it.)
Boots
PvE
Required: Sniper Ammo/Fusion Ammo/Heavy Ammo
PvP
Required: T12 133-135
Preferred: Rocket Ammo/Heavy Ammo
Class Item
PvE and PvP
Required: T12 58-60
Class items are kind of worthless perk-wise. Try and have an exp boost for every type if gun spread over them if you can.
Ghost
PvE
Just keep lots of ghosts so you can get mats and glimmer to matter where you are. Preferably matched pairs like Cabal/Mars, but whatever you can get.
PvP
Required: T12 60 (You should have at least one of these, so there's really no excuse to settle for less unless you have too much Int-Dis already)
Preferred: PvP Glimmer Perk
Artefact
PvE
Required T12 116+ (If you have an Int-Dis artefact above 118, you can lose a little Int or Dis on one of your other pieces of gear, which is nice)
Preferred: Orbs from grenades or melees
PvP
Required T12 116+ (If you have an Int-Dis artefact above 118, you can lose a little Int or Dis on one of your other pieces of gear, which is nice)
Preferred: Memory of Gheleon/Jolder/Silimar

Should I even keep the year one & two weapons I have? If yes, is there a way for me to figure out what I should keep?
Is it a primary? Does it have void damage? Are you planning on doing the year three thorn quest?
If yes to all three, then keep it!

Did that part of the quest last night. Mayhem. Voidwalker. Good times.
Do I use it/Is it sentimental/Is it hard to get
Generally, stuff I use is on my characters, so it seldom resides in the vault. Mostly I've kept a copy of Raid weapons and armor from VoG, CE and KF that I like and are hard to get. My sets of armor from PoE are all gone, replaced by the Y2 Taken version where possible, but I never did get a full set for my Titan or Warlock.
That leaves a number of spots for weapons I consider to have really good rolls, but don't use very often due to lack of infusion fuel. I've got some good Hawksaws, Hand Cannons, PRs, etc that all have some interesting rolls that I will try out, one day.
I've got a few things that are quest rewards or from the handful of times I managed to get 5 wins in Trials, which are not rolled well or pretty but were hard to get and sit around because of that. Likewise some cool capes are in there.
Everything else is fair game. I recently went through and trashed 15 old weapons because how many high impact Scouts do you need? Even if the rolls are good, you really only need one of each archetype you like. I had four soul stealers claws that were decent, and I sharded all but one.
You have to clean things out eventually. Trying out new stuff is part of the game.
