Let's take a look at what your Guardian should bring into the raid and how best to kit them up for max firepower. As always, use what you prefer, but this will give you a sharper edge.
Your fireteam leader is floating in orbit and you're about to join up. Ask them which class of Guardians they would like or mention which characters you would want to bring along. You'd like to have a good weapons and armor setup so that you're up there on the kill count, and some encounters are technical enough that even armor perks will matter a lot. There's a cheeky little section in the Riven encounter that is a community favorite and exemplifies this.
Click through the Contents section on the right for the required information.
The configurations mentioned below can make or break encounters, but don't be dismayed if you don't possess any particular item, since you can make up for the lack of them with good team coordination.
Nightstalker (Top Tree) +
Well of Radiance + (do not equip when using )
Sunbreaker (Top Tree) +
A good balance to always have is a Primary, a Shotgun and a Power weapon to suit the encounter.

Sniper Rifle Reserves
Enhanced versions of Targeting and/or Unflinching Aim perks for your weapons
