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.

15 RepliesThey aren't gonna buff it. Here's why: Dragons Breath technically has more potential damage than Gjallarhorn. However, this damage is never fully utilized as the target moves out of the solar flare. Another problem is that the low velocity coupled with no tracking makes it hard to hit targets. So the downfall isn't the fact that it doesn't deliver a lot of damage, it's that targets move out of the way, dodging rockets and flares. So what if there was a way to trap targets, perhaps prevent them from moving. Something that could freeze them into place. Something coming with the taken King. I present to you, the Nightstalker super. Couple this with a Gjallarhorn nerf, now the Dragons Breath is gonna be a -blam!-ing beast. To answer the question, it doesn't need a nerf. Come a month or so, and it'll be a monster.
