when you find an exotic you like and wanna keep you should build your loadout based off that for example i have 4th horseman so legendary gear that buffs it like carry more shotgun ammo ill want to keep if its boots and only 260 when i drop a rare set of boots ill infuse them to my 260 boots making them prob 268 and do the same with your gear in every slot as legendarys tend to have better perks than rare. when you take a shitload of engrams to young rahool dont spam them all at once do them one at a time and check if it can make you higher level then chances are the next one will be higher if so...... until you get to around 290 then all you will drop is crap at 265 for whatever reason lol
