Well the good news is you don't have to grind out a helmet. I have to do it so I can hit 32, not bad for just over 2 weeks of playing. Switching from 360 to PS4 was such a pain.
Am I missing something with the IB gear? Stats looking underwhelming...

I just want IB gear because it looks cool.
Especially the helmet.
I would also really love to have some of the weapons. Especially Jolder's Hammer, Timur's Lash and Efrideet's Spear.

But what makes those weapons so good?
I've read reviews on both, and to be honest they both are "meh" to me. I much prefer Thorn if I'm using a pistol in PVP, and a sniper with a 3 round magazine in PVP is awful.
In PVE, Fatebringer / Icebreaker can't be beaten - so I'm at a loss here.
I'll try to get lvl 4 to get the cloak for next time, but I can't say I'll be buying anything weapons / armor wise.
The only weapon I want is Felwinter's (for obvious reasons).

Timur's Lash is more so a novelty. It could be a decent PvP/PvE weapon depending on the roll and considering not everybody has a Thorn, TLW, Hawkmoon or Red Death to rely on, it's not a bad substitute.
Efrideet's Spear can be one of the best PvE snipers and a solid PvP alternative. For example, the ideal roll for PvE I'm rocking is Surplus, Field Scout and Outlaw.
Hits as hard as Black Hammer, lets me have more ammo per box that drops for all weapons (i.e. 2 rockets now become 4) and the fast reload on precision kills makes it more forgiving versus Majors and for general use. Frees up the exotic slot for Gjallahorn so while Ice Breaker can give unlimited ammo, I get better overall and burst DPS through Efrideet's and Gjallahorn.
PvP, it's a decent alternative, less so with the recent patches to Armor Piercing and special ammo availability. Does 183 on a body shot, so even if they got scratched with a single autorifle bullet, they're probably dead. The Final Round perk does 241 on body shots meaning an auto kill as long as it hits. Kind of cheesy, but it exists. Was my special weapon of choice when I could nail people through cover and freely fire without concern for ammo, causing more Final Round situations. Even as a 3 shot sniper, you could get away with having other perks compensate like Field Scout, Perfect Balance, Outlaw or Spray and Pray.
Really comes down to the enjoyment of true RNG in trying to roll your ideal weapon.

I like collecting hand cannons, and this one has the highest impact in the game.
I like using machine guns that are slower firing.
The small clip allows you to make better use of the final round perk!

The perks on the IB weapons aren't great, but like Andruil mentioned the fun comes in the re rolling of the weapons to get a setup you like. I spent awhile reforging my Felwinters Lie. Pretty close to running out of motes, but I think I got a set of perks that could work. Got return to sender, field scout, and feeding frenzy... Wanted a solar one, but I'll give this arc one a go. More hoping the reloads get sped up a fair bit.
Would like hammer forged instead of field scout, maybe even shot package, but I like return to sender and feeding frenzy... Don't want to risk it, and I have no motes left.
House of wolves is going to clean me out with regards to reforging. I'll be running raids for energy and shards so I can get more motes to reroll
Don't touch me's from Xur this week. Excellent. The first part of Crota's raid just got infinitely easier.

So I needs me a purple sniper for when I want to put Icebreaker away in favor of one of my primary relics... Can anyone tell me of a site that lists the actual LDR 5001 that's for sale right now?

I'm trying to find out the perks/stats, etc.
try planetdestiny.com
LDR is a good sniper for a vendor purchase, i opted for the the Y-09 Longbow Synthesis originally (but just picked up a Praedyths in the vault this week, so I'll be using that in PVP now), I have no complaints with the stock version. Comes with field scout, spray and play, and mulligan. Good options for PVE and PVP IMO.

My vendor ldr is arc with:
unflinching
High calibre rounds/armor piercing rounds/skip rounds
clown cartridge
I don't think that roll has changed since I bought it.
