I'm about to start it right now and i'm level 44. I know the max level is 70, so how do you get there? Do you go into adventure mode and do bounties? Idk I'm just a little confused. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just started playing yesterday!
Im guessing ur at the start of RoS and ur 44, by the time ur done with story mode u should be close to 70. When you're done go Adventure mode and do some bounties or rifts, since it's ur first time just take the time and enjoy it, wouldnt really recommend powerleveling.
Don't get powerlevelled on your first char. Try to complete the story, do as many dungeons and side quests you can find to have even more story.
Talk to everyone, there are follower quests with a nice story.
If you spend your time exploring everything, you will be 70 by the time you complete campaign, if you don't rush through it.
After that it's all bounties, rifts and grifts. Do grifts as soon as you can, from level 1 and up. When you are close to finished, teleport out, do a bounty, and kill the boss with 4 minutes or less left. Then you can upgrade only 1 level. This way, you get all the gems pretty fast, and they do a lot for you
Experiment with the skills for your class and enjoy the story. If you get power levelled you'll be overwhelmed with the choice of skills and runes available at 70. This is your best opportunity to make your own build, rather than be forced into playing 1 of the 2/3 'correct/efficient' builds.
If your goal is efficiency and climbing the leaderboards you'll be playing those correct builds. They're correct for a reason.
Well, no. But using the most efficient build will get him to the point where he can try fun builds safely faster.
To use the most efficient build, he needs the items to support it.
Since OP is new to the game, and asks starter questions here, it shows he has no "friends" that play the game.
Suggesting he should get powerlevelled is the worst thing you can do: he will have to find someone to level him (taking away actualy playtime), he would miss out on the story and the feeling of progression, he will not have items at level 70, he will not learn anything about the game mechanics and will have to become a leecher to get his items (taking away the fun again).
On top of this, depending on what you are doing, the most efficient build is difference: rifts/bounties/low grifts are based around maximum speed, high grifts are based around maximum damage stacking and controlling the mobs.
Once you have the set, basically any build goes for T6. Before you have the set, you build around the items you have and the skills you enjoy. As long as you are not pushing for the high ranks, the most efficient build will always be the one you enjoy the most, as it will allow you to actually play instead of feeling like work

I never suggested he be powerlevelled. I stated that the best builds are best for a reason (and there are several best builds that are itemization agnostic depending on class).
Also you state that Grifts are about max damage and enemy control. That's just a fancy way of saying maximum speed and some degree of experience.

99% of those "correct" builds are entirely built around gear sets that a new player will take a year to accumulate, though.
It will take 1-2 days to fully gear your new character. Or even faster if you play more than 4h/day. Not perfect stats on gear ofc but after 1st day of season 3 I was doing solo GR40+.
With how many hundreds (thousands?) of hours of pre-season-3 experience?
And how much of that 4-8 hours was spent farming in a group with three other similarly experienced vets?
I'm going to call colossal quantities of bullshit on any suggestion that a brand new player can have the full set + other key gear pieces for a "top" build and be smashing 40+ GRifts a day after hitting level 70.

Thanks for the advice everyone I really appreciate it!

Horrible, horrible advice for someone who just bought the game yesterday and is on their first playthrough.

after extensive calculations, you should be at level 68 at 33.1%
I am beast, so beastly.
