Totally! But I encourage you to try the heroic strikes this week. The modifiers make them much easier. One guy said the Shield Brothers one would be a real pain but so far since the Tuesday reset, I have increased 7 light levels and completed every strike I have started in a decent amount of time. Compared to the super slow going the previous week where strikes took forever, I gained one light level in several days and there were a bunch of strikes we didn't complete.
