Level 1-20 in 12hrs :)

So I've finally decided to create my 2nd character, a Titan, over the weekend. My goal was to get to level 20 as quick as possible to be able to equip my sweet rng exotic & legendary gear. Doing as many bounties as possible while playing through the stories. I only did the first 2 strikes, Sepiks and Phogoth, when I was leveled up enough to not waste my time constantly dying. I ended up hitting level 20 mid way through the black garden mission. I quickly equipped my new gear during that mission and BOOM level 25! Now I just need to grind vanguard marks to get some new gauntlets. This is a nice addition to my roster, currently have a level 31 Warlock I've played since September. One thing I noticed this time around is that I didn't bother trying to upgrade my gear every time I had the chance. I had saved some blue engrams into my vault that I had acquired with my warlock in anticipation of creating my Titan. They turned into some nicely spec'd blue level Arihant Type gear which I ran with the entire time once I was able to equip them. My defense was just under 300 the entire time also worth these. I also ran with a few green guns since the specs were good, better than some of my legendary guns aside from the stated damage being lower. Funny thing about that damage I found, my green auto rifles were still giving me 90-100 critical dps, better then some of my legendary again. I ran with my level 3 sniper the whole way also. I was getting a max of 1400+ critical dps with this thing! The impact it has is double that to my closest legendary. I did get a nice blue level 10 scout rifle drop also with great specs. This thing was giving me 400+ critical dps from its low stated damage, equal to some of the other legendary scouts I have. It was a great experience starting over. One that made me rethink weapons in general and how their stated damage output really is compared to those lower level guns you start with. Kept a few good spec'd ones for some crucible laughs, "how did he beat me with a green gun!"
