Armor mods can be used to boost your Arc/Void/Solar class abilities/melee/grenade recharge, boost your mobility/resilence/regeneration (can't remember the word for that currently.), or boost certain weapon traits (kinetic reload, energy stability, etc).

Those are the stat modifiers I wish were better represented. Yeah, they provide buffs, but HOW MUCH of a buff? I have a variety equipped, and can't tell a difference.

When you buy weapon mods from the gunsmith, there is a 1 in 4 chance of getting a Kinetic +5 mod, which to my knowledge, will never randomly drop in the game (apart from already mounted in a kinetic exotic weapon).

So buying from the gunsmith is useful if you're looking to create that perfect set of armor (all void mods on armor, for example) or you want to put plus 5's on all your kinetic weapons.

That I did not know, and explains why I haven't even seen one yet.
