It's so easy to hit max level this time around lol. All vendor gear starts you at 32. Then from there all you have to do is run the 32 once and upgrade an exotic and you're at 33 in maybe an hour. Then if you are skilled enough you can run the 34 and get one etheric light. Wait until the next week when variks has a new 34 light armor piece. run the 32 again and there you are at 34. Compared to the last dlc where it took me almost a month to get all characters to 32 I did it in 3 days. It's extremely easy. Just stop.
