SOUND AND FURY~ — Regarding "Wait for It"

I was very excited to get SOUND AND FURY~ yesterday. The perk combo sounded awesome to me. I was quickly disappointed, however, when I found that "Wait for It" ends up being pointless. In the current ammo economy, the vanilla inventory stat does not allow enough rockets in reserve to even grant the "larger than normal" magazine to which the perk refers. Thus, it just ends up being a RL with Spray and Play, which is a huge let down. I think this could be addressed with a two-fold solution: 1. Increase the amount of rockets RLs can hold in PvE so the perk can actually proc. I think the nerf to rocket inventory was necessary and good in PvP, but nerfing it in PvE was unnecessary. Another way to address this if not actually changing the ammo economy would be to increase the effectiveness of heavy ammo armor perks (which, apart from exotics, are almost pointless in PvE at this time). 2. Make "Wait for It" behave like Clown Cartridge so the extra rocket comes out of thin air as opposed to reserves. This would also help it to fit into the DPS niche, which would be appropriate for the raid in which it drops. Edit: The max number of rockets/brick in PvP is 3 (meaning no rockets to reload after emptying the mag) and this launcher doesn't have Tracking or G&H anyway, so there's no risk of this launcher becoming OP in PvP. I hope you agree that it would be worth taking a second look at the functionality of this weapon's unique perk. I love the creativity of this new raid set—having the SIVA infection/replication even affect perks by "replicating" and enhancing existing ones—but this RL is a dud.
