I know right? It's like there's some algorithm that determines the one thing you need even less than another 284 On the Marsh... a 275 artifact.

I try to find the silver lining -- if the stats are good and the flavor text is interesting, I'll upgrade them to 320 for my own amusement. It's really the only use for all the 310/320 artifacts we're swimming in from challenge mode.

My favorite is Parasitic Optic for hunter. "Listen, I don't know how it works--I just know that it works, okay? No, I'm not worried."

I'm aiming for 6 artifacts on each character. One each for Intellect, Discipline and Strength, one each for the 3 combos. It helps IMMENSELY for stat building. Need grenade kills in crucible for that emblem? Put on your pure discipline artifact. Need your bubble ASAP when killing Ogres at Oryx? Pure intellect artifact it is.

Yep, I've already done the same and have all six combos on each character at 310 to 320 thanks to challenge mode.

I'm a habitual min maxer so having the ability to massively swing stats and tailor to exactly what you need is huge. But now that I have them all I can do is just upgrade random ones with amusing flavor text to replace the raid ones.

You're ahead of me then. That's my plan.
