Haven't loaded up a single Forge this season, and no, I don't work for Bungie. Honestly, leveling up in Power isn't too difficult. Though I recommend "spacing out" your pinnacles and T2 drops. If you're more than +8 above your slots combined on your base power, you should turn in tokens to "level out", then go for your next pinnacle. You will save a lot of time this way. Also worth noting, I've only played my Hunter (main) and Warlock this season - I have yet to touch my Titan. So it can just show you how effective it can be when you understand how leveling works. Edit : Also agree with SC. I personally have some friends/clan members that are already in the 1080's. Definitely not the highest I've seen around.
