*Raid Gear SP* (Destiny)

So browsing the new raid weapons it looks like none have an element, unlike prior raids. Is this a change in design philosophy? As the elemental primaries were pretty much all I would see people use in PVE once they obtained them.

Also, I am enjoying the expanded number of perks and their synergies on all the new armors in 2.0.

According to some pre-release info, the raid gear/weaponry comes in two variants, normal and Harrowed (difficulty-based). The elemental variants are probably the Harrowed variants, but who knows. I wouldn't be totally against doing away with non-exotic elemental primaries, but it seems odd that two variants of a weapon would exist if nothing really set them apart.

I bet that's it. Like the "Adept" versions of the Trials weapons.
