Crests are Redundant
Orbs are available for armor, the exotic orbs are not. Some of the crests do give different stats, such as Soldier, however since there aren’t any exotic quality crests, they are lacking.
Right now you can put gems in armor, which makes many “Crest” upgrades pointless. For example, Crest of the Traveler and Opal Orb have the exact same stats, but Opal Orb is both more common, and can be used in both armor and jewelry while Crest of the Traveler only works in armor.
I don’t think Orbs were intended to be used in armor.
