So those Artifacts huh? (Destiny)

Does anyone else feel they are just a tad bit underwhelming? A chance at producing a single orb barely seems like a benefit to me in the slightest. Plus I feel like there is no point to using different kinds once you get one that's 310 or 320.

Am I looking at this all wrong? Am I actually missing out on the greatness of artifacts? And if not, is there something Bungie could do to make switching up artifacts more desirable? Or make artifacts more useful just in general?

I don't even look at the perks on my artifacts, just the light level. The perks are all so minor that I don't find them worth worrying about. I actually find most of the armor perks in TTK to be too narrow or specific. Perks like "bonus agility after void splash damage" are so specific... it's like the expect us to keep a full selection of new armor on hand and constantly swap items on or off over the course of a mission as we go from encounter to encounter. It just isn't practical or interesting.

All I do now is look at light level, intellect/discipline/strength stats, ammo/reload perks. Helmets do sometimes come with more useful perks, so those are always worth paying attention to.
