Decrypting armour engrams with different classes

destiny

Can you decrypt armour engrams with different classes for different rewards?

For example, if I earn a blue engram with a level 30 hunter, put it in the vault, and decrypt the engram with a level 20 warlock, will the item be for a warlock?

If possible, this could be a good way of gaining gear with light for new characters at level 20.

Yes!

I did this not too long ago, just last week actually. I farmed 25 strikes on my 31 warlock for an exotic bounty. All armor engrams (and weapon engrams to level the cryptarch) went into the vault. Then I went onto my level 22 hunter (who needed legs and helmet) and decrypted all of them. Aside from the random Motes of Light and Strange Coins, it decrypted into hunter gear.
