Follow-Up (Destiny)

Has anyone been able to parse this into a set of recommendations for armor to keep moving forward? Here's my attempt:

Seasons 4 & 5 (Scourge or Last Wish Armor): only useful for the current season even though they have a power cap of 1360. Use for soloing Prophecy w/ Taken mods, probably delete after Beyond Light is released.

Seasons 8-11 (Current Leviathan, Garden, and world armor): These previously had a 1up/1down season for mod application, but that will change to be all of seasons 8-11 mods when Beyond Light comes out. Also, you will want to replace all your Garden armor from these seasons with the new armor that will have an additional dedicated raid slot (so you can use Charged With Light and Enhanced Relay Defender at the same time). Therefore, the best armor to keep here is actually either the Leviathan armor or armor from the current season (Arrivals), both of which have a power cap of 1360. This is actually a significant change from before this announcement, as Garden armor (currently slots seasons 8-10) was previously strictly better than Leviathan armor (currently slots seasons 8 & 9). The upshot of this is that Leviathan armor is pretty easy to get, either through turning in tokens to Benedict or farming encounters. And it looks cool. Too bad I already deleted a bunch of good rolls.

Does that make sense to the preppers out there?
