if your on Tuesday I might possibly be able to get you through a vog raid? Personally what I did was do the harder strikes even if I died a lot at least I'm getting better gear once you get to 26+ start saving your shards and energy you get every week so you can throw them all into gear instead of weapons as weapon damage isn't as important as being in the higher levels once lvl 30 find a crota group and rinse and repeat the steps of saving shards and energy. (this is how I managed to get from rank 30 to 32 on my first character then my next two as I had the surplus of shards it was just a case of getting armour and levelling it up) Hope this helps :)
