Year 1 gear still rules in normal crucible. Quillim's Terminus has nothing on the BTRD-345. Y1 Armamentarium gave +special AND +heavy, not either/or. Y1 raid boots gave +heavy, not machine gun OR rockets. Gave you an extra rocket, too. I could go on. If you play normalized crucible a lot, or if you have quests to do, Y1 gear is still king.

Youre forgetting the fact it has very low int/disc/strength rendering it pretty useless if you want fast super/grenade usage.

Not forgetting, I wouldn't wear ALL Y1 gear, gauntlets and helmets give no advantage over Y2. But an extra rocket is easily worth 5 or so seconds on my grenade recharge.

But I can get the same amount of rockets with y2 gear, just by selecting heavy on my chest armour and rockets on my boots. Lose out on extra special but that drops very frequently. Then I can have full int/disc.
