TL;DR
Here’s how to best level from scratch.
Leveling is easy if you know what you’re doing. Got three characters, one of each class, each at 303 without a single raid or trials.
-Story to Nessus
-Public Events to level 20/265 power (about 3-4 hours)
-Complete story
-Milestones (Nightfall, Crucible, Flashpoint, Clan XP)
-Planetary Exotic missions (Mida, Sturm, Ratking)
-Clan Engrams
Should get you to about 285.
Transfer best weapons to second character at level 20, you should be able to grind PEs to 280 light on your second character before completing the campaign and doing milestones. Should get you to about 295.
Repeat the process for your third and they should be over 295 before touching your milestones. With milestones and planetary exotic quests you should easily be over 300 light.
Transfer best weapons back to your first and second characters, play a few more PEs for gear and you should be close to 300 with them too.

Edited by julianwelton: 9/27/2017 1:39:38 AMWhen you say "Story to Nessus" do you mean get to Nessus and then stop or complete the story missions on Nessus and then stop?

Complete the Nessus story missions first. Doing so will open up the fast travel locations which makes it much easier getting around from one public event to the next. You can technically start grinding public events on earth or Titan but I find Nessus has a higher volume of them which makes the process a little faster.

I'm only getting 275 gear and I'm currently at 282. None of those is bumping me up I'm getting any better than 275 gear.

Yup that’s as intended with the new level system. Once you’ve gotten to 265 pretty much everything except the planetary exotic quests and your weekly milestones will drop below your current light level. Exotic engrams will continue to bump you up a little bit until around 285 and then even those will start dropping below your current level. When you’ve done all your weekly milestones and exotic quests it’s either time to start a new character as outlined above or wait for weekly reset.

If you make a second character with the same class only one of those characters will get higher power for there ingrams through milestones. You have to rely on trials and the raid to get higher gear or exotic farming and hope you get repeats/burnables. Making a second character is really useless just lfg or find people to do the raid/trials. You don't even need to go flawless for trials to progress.
