I didn't do the skip leveling thing. Leveling is pretty fast anyway so I actually hit level 50 while I was still doing Warmind stuff before I had even started Forsaken content. Warmind has some good gear available and a couple of exotics that are highly useful so I would say play it like normal and enjoy the ride.

Getting pretty comfortable with Bergusia Forge now. Riskrunner is definitely the way to go although I wish I had the catalyst for it. Riskrunner + Titan code of the juggernaut means I very rarely have to stop to reload or regen health (melee kills restore health) and with the newly improved trample perk I can just about clear wave 2 by myself with my super meaning all my team mates have to do is chuck batteries into the forge.
I don't have Whisper yet but I do have a Long Shadow sniper with Triple Tap that works well. 21 rounds with Sniper Reserves + 7 more bullets from Triple Tap means 28 total rounds and a whole lot of damage to the spider boss. I brought Hammerhead a long but didn't end up touching it at all through 2 ignitions last night with this loadout. Me like.

Is the Last Word PvP steps that bad? People need to learn to how to play passive, learn to retreat from a losing fight, don't mindlessly shotgun ape,learn to stick near walls/objects for cover , get the points for assisting kills and not dying. I got my second step done in 4 games and another 3 - 4 games for the medals.
Hey folks!
I’m looking to get back into Destiny after a full year of not playing (I left before the first DLC hit). From everything I’ve heard, it seems like Bungie addressed a lot of the issues I had (not enough to do in the endgame, no loot to grind for, pvp not being fun).
Anyway, since it’s been so long, I’m thinking about starting a new character from scratch. I’ve tried looking for some YouTube videos to help bring me up to speed, but I’m still a little bit confused. Are there any tips or a general guideline for me to follow for someone returning since vanilla like me?
Thanks in advance!
PS, I’ve never raided before I would really like to! Are there any active resetera clans on PS4 these days?

For PS4 clans, I think Cornbread78 is the one to contact.
As far as lvling goes, here are two vids that explain it well, I think.

You just need to play passive and focus on staying alive. Stay close to walls and corners so you can retreat if you know very well you will lose the fight. Apart from getting kills, getting assist kills also helps with the streak.
Destiny PvP is all about game sense. If you know that looking at your radar there's a guy waiting to shotgun you at the corner, you create a distance so you can kill him before his shotgun can even reach you or avoid that corner. If you see your radar pings at 2 different areas means you get the fuck out and rejoin your teammates.
If you got hit first before you fire the first shot...retreat, instead of hoping you will outplay him. Always play according to the distance your weapons excel in. Crouching also helps because it takes you off the radar so you surprise shoot them.
The Last Word is primarily a PvP weapon so of course PvP steps are part of the quest. If you can't even climb over those PvP steps then The Last Word is not even worth pursuing.

I don't mind too much that it has PvP steps but its just the losing progress thing is fucking trash because it requires a type of consistency this mode has a tendency to not afford unless you are super sweaty (which i'm not nor ever will be) and it can punish you even if you actually WIN. That's a terrible way for a step to be implemented tbh
So my beef is not with it being PvP steps in general its just that particular one that punishes you severely when there are plenty of opportunities to have shit games.
Ill still try because i'm a stubborn idiot but this is no fun at all due to how soul crushing it can be:(
