So we all know that DB is collecting dust in our vaults for a reason. While it has impressive impact,the rocket launcher as a whole is underwhelming,especially its exotic perk. The solar grenade doesn't do enough damage to kill plus enemies walk away from it so its a useless perk overall.
I have two changes,if implemented, will increase its use and worth by 200% and rival the gally:
1.Replace Tripod with grenades and horseshoes. Make tripod a base perk.
2. Replace the solar grenade with the Match grenade from the sunbreaker subclass like in the video.[spoiler] https://youtu.be/HHWB-mpmv60 [/spoiler] . All you gotta do is have the fire wall form horizontally, improve the look to make it look like a gian wall of fire that you can't see through,beef up the damage it deals,and add damage over time like thorn.
Doing this will make it a great pve weapon,halting a thrall rush or even trapping enemies in a small space making it easier to finish them off. It will also make it an effective pvp weapon, having players shoot at a area to stop the enemy team from advancing to your control point adding more strategy to matches.
Bungie,if you implement these changes,you can stop destiny from being a one-launcher game.

The only thing they need to do is add ignite to the solar flare so If the target moves it will take damage damage over time. That way the target can't avoid a large deal of damage, but in fact will take additional damage if it stays in the flare as the ignite effect will be doting once it impacts the area
