Dragon's Breath buff...and another thought
How many of you out there wish you could use the Dragon's Breath a little more but instead prefer Truth, Hunger of Crota, or...if you're lucky, Gjallahorn? I love everything about this weapon, except for the weapon itself lol. Love the way it looks, love the hot breath action when you're rolling with it, love the sights. Here's what I DO NOT love:
1) non-tracking system. It's hard to stomach when you have a target in your sight, shoot the rocket, only to see the target duck and dive out of the way and your rocket is useless...and I'm simply talking PvE enemies. It would make a huge difference adding a tracking system to it.
2) pyromancer. When I first read about this weapon I was pretty stoked about it, especially since I didn't have a gjally or a truth. I recieved the gun day 1 of the DLC in the first raid chest and subsequently upgraded it pretty quick, excited to see what pyromancer could do. Turns out, it doesn't really do a whole lot, unless you're firing it at something like the Nexus mind that doesn't move much. As of now, enemies just stay away from the solar flare, even if they're damaged by the initial blast! Not sure how this could be changed to actually make it useful but something is needed.
Other thought:
It would be pretty cool to be able to reforge your exotic weapons like you can with IB while having a the random perk generator. Making the exotic gun truly customizable to how you want it would really appeal to each player...I think anway. Maybe you can only change 1 of the weapon's stats, i.e. Dragon's breath- instead of the three shell perk, you can try and reforge until you get the tracking system.
Lastly...what would my "ideal" Dragon's Breath look like???
Dragon's Breath with tracking system, increased velocity, pyromancer WITH either wolfpack/cluster rounds so each additional rocket/explosion leaves its own solar flare. Probably would be way too OP at that point but what the heck...DRAGONS ARE OP!!! lol

Make rockets explode in proximity to target. Then add dragons breathe napalm - all enemies ignite with blast and upon touching flames. Do away with the solar flare and create actual fire effect. Or mini nuke mushroom cloud - anything caught in blast obliterates while on the edge of blast stuff ignites. Similar to the nuke launcher in fall out. (With better visuals and effects) obviously.

Edited by HLGrizzly: 2/14/2015 8:35:55 PMEh id say no tracking. It's not like a dragons fire tracks its target and I'm not talking about -insert name of special case here- either but what it should have is some special cluster bombs that leave solar grenades as well or an especially large blast radius with like flames that ignite the nearest target
-
+1 to tracking. If they did that, this weapon woukd be on par with HOC and Gally and all of the people complaining that Gally is so hard to get wouldnt care.
-
Dragon's Breath doesn't need tracking. Guardians are spoiled because HoC, Truth, and Gjallarhorn all have tracking. It doesn't need tracking.
-
I'd have Dragons breath explode and make a large ring of fire trapping the enemies that didnt die so the rest of the fire team can focus fire on them without getting rushed
-
I think the reforging for exotics would break their balance and because exotics should have a logical perk progression and perks that mesh well together (look at Hawkmoon for example). Maybe multiple perk options on columns like the Abyss Defiant or Fang of Ir Yût.
-
At the very least the tracking. The wolf pack rounds that track and leave there own solar flare would be better than the giant solar flare. These two would put it right there with the ghorn which is the least I expected when I first heard about this weapon
-
2 RepliesI was hoping a streak of fire would leave the muzzle and would stay there. The flare should at least last a lot longer.
-
1 ReplyI like having a launcher I know where the payload is landing. I have others that track, others that cluster. With DB, I'm trying trying to place shots in specific spots, maybe that's just me.

Edited by Sharkbite1973: 1/22/2015 11:37:46 PMI just want an exotic arc launcher imagine one that leaves the titans aftermath effect on impact great for campers and bosses that dont move much.Goes with the theme of putting class gimicks on launchers ghorn wolfpack rounds are basically a hunters skip grenade.
-
Why is this not happening yet? Get on it bungie
-
Great idea make this exotic on par with gjallarhorn.
-
Best idea ever
