Been AFK for over a year (Destiny)

I've been basically living without the internet since January 2014, so I missed a lot, including the launch of Destiny.

I finally picked it up and started playing it a few months ago. I have mixed feelings, for all the reasons I'm sure have been discussed everywhere for ages. But overall, the game is a blast to play.

I've yet to do a raid, though, so would anyone be willing to lead a newbie through them? I'm on Xbox One with a 31 Gunslinger and a 29 Voidwalker. Also a 24 Striker Titan that I have neglected, but he'll get there someday.

I'll make a Fireteam Builder event for it at some point, but I've a busy schedule and not much time for gaming, so I'm trying to find a spot to dedicate some time for it.

Also, what are the best Destiny resources out there? I'm still finding myself a bit lost on the particulars of Destiny. What are the best weapon stats and perks, for instance? What's the best way to get Strange Coins? It seems like everyone else has hundreds of the things laying around, but I'm struggling to get any. I don't have many people on my friends list that play Destiny, so I haven't played the higher levels of PoE, or raids, or ToO. I've only done one Weekly Heroic Strike, and no Nightfalls. Etc, etc.

Anyway, it's been a long time, I'm looking forward to jumping back in to the community. I just feel like I'm so far behind and struggling to get caught up. I guess the good part of that is that I'm already behind, so I don't particularly feel the "obligation" to play Destiny and do everything before the reset like so many others seem to.

Also, The Witcher 3 keeps taking over what little gaming time I have. I can't put it down.
