Does anyone still have a 300 Gjallarhorn? :P Seriously, though.

I'd be up for this. Any excuse to run VoG is a good excuse.

Also, does Luke Smith understand how the light system works? You don't get any advantage for being a higher light level then the enemy.

Well, other than your damage resistance, right?

When your level is equal to or higher than that of the enemy, Your damage resistance scales with your defense rating linearly. Wearing all Light 30 Gear, I'm at about ~1450. With all 34 gear, I'm at 1786, so I can absorb 19% more damage. I honestly don't think that's a huge difference.

In hairy situations, I spend a good chunk of my time with my health bar WELL below 19%. Without the ability to absorb that damage without dying, my games would play out significantly differently.

(In Crucible games, I actually see a difference - a significant difference - in my overall K/D when my defense rating rises by as little as 100 points.)
