After looking at many different peoples characters in progression runs I have begun to wonder if guardian dps is becoming irrelevant. Before you get your panties in a bunch I want you to hear my thoughts behind this. In a progression run it always nice to have ranged dps, for obvious reasons (they avoid aoe's). Its also nice to have atleast 1 or 2 sentinels for their massive dmg output as well as utility (via inspiration). With all that taken into account, where do you think guardians fall in progression runs as well as the hardest ops?

I have been getting my artifice level up and I was making resolve hilt 15 and I can make blue ones. How do I become able to make pink ones? Do I have to reverse engineer the blue's to be able to craft the pink ones? (btw im color blind so when I say pink it might be purple lol)
