I did my first raid with 2 rare weapons and 1 legendary, just get a good team and you'll be fine... Plus you get rewards while you do the raids so you'll land up getting the legendary gear to boost your defense while you raiding... There are a lot of good people in the destiny community that don't mind helping out, but they obviously won't appreciate you saying you don't want to grind for whatever reason but you still want to land up being lvl 30+ lol most of us here have grinded our asses off to get to where we are...
