Also, note that your drop level is affected by your maximum potential base power - which is to say that drops are calculated based upon what you have in your inventory, vault and alternate characters..
well no, it doesn't use your vault or alt toons. if that were the case then when you created a new toon, the first thing that dropped would be 300 or whatever..
you have to have the equipment on that toon, and it has to be useable by them also (can't drop a 305 weapon on a new level 1 toon as they req. level 20)
right?
It only counts equipment useable by that character, so nothing locked to a different class, and nothing with a level req higher than the character level.
So generally, only weapons, as armor is class locked. This tends to hide the effect somewhat on fresh 20s as their armor is still all crap. Though you can buy off-class exotics from Xur for 1 270 piece.
maybe, if it's usable? high LL stuff isn't usable by a new/low level toon.
otherwise, even only counting your 3 weapons, grey/green loot would start off dropping at level 125 or so. it obviously doesn't.
..
regarding Xur, yeah I guess I'll buy the other-class stuff he sells and start working on my warlock & hunter :P
By way of example, my warlock was my third character. When i made him my main was I think in the 285-295 range.
About 20 minutes after hitting 20, he was like 275, and despite rarely playing him beyond doing flashpoint and clan xp (not even every week) he's like 301.
after this last reset the first 2-3 powerful engrams (milestones) I got dropped at 300, and I was able to upgrade a couple of slots and now I'm at 303 max (or 298 natural). but then the next 2-3 powerful engrams dropped at 296 or 297. ??? how am I supposed to level up if powerful engrams are dropping below my natural LL.
and then blues and purples are dropping at 292-293 (or 298 with a +5mod). which makes no sense if they are supposed to be -5 your natural level (298) ? shouldn't they be dropping at 297-298? or are they supposed to be 10-11 below?
I mean I saved up all my tokens and gunsmith materials until after I did the milestones so I could upgrade my shit, but they are literally dropping at the SAME level they did last week, before this last round of Powerfuls.
is my dude bugged or what?
The March from 300 to 305 is a little tricky because your Powerful Engrams will vary in LL, but if you don't claim an Engram that isn't 300, and come back in a while it can reroll to be 300. I've had this happen to me a few times in the course of a day, and I know for sure nothing else on any of my characters had increased my Light, not even a single point.
My go-to kinetic weapons (Better Devils, Nameless Midnight and Origin Story) have a blue mod on there that just makes them into a Kinetic weapon.
I don't think I've ever seen a purple Kinetic mod. Do they exist and I'm just unlucky?. How do you get one of these to 305?
You have to dismantle purple mods and give those to banshee to get a random purple weapon or armor mod, and the weapon mods can give you purple kinetic mods. Also, like any other purple mods, sometimes weapons will randomly come with one pre-installed.

you have to dissassemble legendary mods to get mod parts, then use those to buy legendary weapon mods from the arms vendor. You have a 1/4 shot of getting a legendary kinetic mod
It is hilarious how short the “ahh, the light is gone!!!!” Lasts. The moment you get it back is treated like the height of this huge arc and it has been literally five minutes

It definitely does, but as has been noted it depends on what you can equip. It takes level and class into account, obviously.
Might be early for you PC folks but Synthoceps (for Titans, true master class represent) can be a pretty effective sword counter. If you can get the timing down you can shoot the sword rusher some and then melee them before they're in sword range, it's immensely satisfying.
Yeah I get killed by swords a lot, but when I try to use them I can't hit anything... I'm absolute trash. I'm sure I just need practice. also warlock punches for some reason, which is a bit deflating as a Titan..
If you want a kinetic weapon to hit 305 you have to have a purple Weapon Attack mod, these are actually kinda rare. The best way to get them assuming you have a ton of purple shards and a lot of glimmer is to go to your collections in the vault and just create a ton of exotic gear and then dismantle it, then turn in the gunsmith materials to Banshee you'll get random mods, then combine them.
Buying random mods only get you blue ones which do not give the +5 to light level
You need the purples
I got a purple kinetic mod tonight by buying a random purple weapon mod
Ah, but you can't buy Purple Mods, at least not only for glimmer.
Banshee sells random blues mods (but there is no such thing as a blue kinetic mod that can be in your inventory) for 2500 glimmer each.
He can also take 3 identical blue Mods and for no additional cost make that into a Legendary Mod of the same type (this can't yield you a Legendary Kinetic Mod, because you can't have blue Kinetic Mods).
Lastly he can also take two Mod Components (which are only obtained from dismantling purple, Legendary mods) and 1000 glimmer to roll a random Weapon or Armor mod. This and turning in Gunsmith Parts (which can reward any blue or Legendary mods) are only ways to obtain a freely applicable Kinetic Legendary mod.

so it counts higher power level guns on other characters, class armor in the vault or for some reason on another character, etc
I was absolute garbage at hand cannons in Destiny 1.
I've used hand cannons more than any other gun type on PC.
Look sometimes my titan likes to just hold a warlock robe and wish he could wear it. There's nothing wrong with that.

I've never used the random mod thingy ever so that's why I've never seen one I guess

Here is the official word from bungie

tried the crucible and got murdered by a sword guy a bunch
we literally punched every. single. thing. to death in at least 2 missions
like everything
Countering a sword is hard until you are pretty familiar with the maps and the radar.
Sticking with a buddy means you might be able to transport them down so he only gets one of you before taking the sword out of play.
Or it might mean the sword gets an easy double.
