It’s made to force grind. Keep in mind a couple things. 1. Gambit, crucible, and vanguard strikes are +1 pinnacles. All others are +2 2. It’s best to do all the +2s first, then do the +1s. To take full advantage of +1’s your gear in your inventory must be as close to each other in light level as possible, otherwise it simply won’t really help you much. 3. Try to do the other challenges while doing pinnacles. Your gear balance is important. If you get a piece of gear from either a prime engram or powerful drop, you can use it to balance your gear and potentially allow yourself to more efficiently grind pinnacle power. Wrath born hunts are surprisingly a good way to do this. You can get 4 powerful drops each week for all your characters in it with lure upgrades. If one of your weapons and armor is under leveled compared to the rest of your gear, you may be able to use the wrathborn hunt to balance that out. 4. Always keep your highest light gear on yourself at all times, even if you don’t plan to use it. Your gear drops based on what the combined light is of your highest level gear currently in your inventory. It does not need to be equipped.
