[2021] The intrinsic perk on exotic armor is more valuable than whatever stat loss you might experience from using a bad roll.

I hear it everytime I get on LFG: "I can't use that I don't have a good roll." In regards to most popular PVE exotics, they are worth wearing even if they had no stats. Waiting a few extra seconds for some abilities is going to be greatly overshadowed by whatever the granted ability can do for you and your team.

Obsessing over stats is encouraged in pvp...but it just doesn't matter as much in pve. I promise you will be okay...I've suffered through many collections roll exotics and lived to tell you that I didn't notice they were a collections roll unless I opened my menu to see the stats.
