"Flaw" Explained (Destiny)

Do you decode one at a time? For example, I started Rise of Iron at 334. For every blue engram I got, I would just decrypt one. Say it decrypted into a chest piece. If the light level happened to be higher than my current chest piece, I'd infuse it. Then I would go back and decrypt the next one and repeat the process.

Sure, every now and then they'll decrypt below the light level or even with the light level of your current item, but by not decrypting them in batches, you maximize your chance of higher light overall. Well, until 340 anyway.

Oh yeah, after every decrypt I would swap out if the new item was better than the old. I literally had a string of like, 8 decrypts where the blue was either the same level as my character or one above, except the gear I had equipped in those slots was two above my character. Therefore it was all useless :(

But I'm ok now. Some better decrypts tonight and a new Ghost shell from the Vanguard later and I'm 340 now. Not too bad for only a few days of semi-casual play.
