Blame that one a Bungie Nerf.
FYI MARCH 20, 2019
Bunngie nerfed the damage of Rocket Launcher by a total, of 15% but according Luke "Giving us more control over the situations one uses a rocket launcher." Such bullshit btw.
And then:
Than decreased the Damage of all Related Rocket Launcher Perks by as much as %80.
The big one, Cluster Bombs. Guardians move really quick, so we used to use Cluster Bombs and Tracking Middles to ensure partial splash damage by having the rocket track near, do damage, than have cluster bombs clear up the rest of the remaining health pool.

Luke Smith, as part of the removal of the Go Fast update,
I am quoting Polygon website for the Interview with Luke Smith.
"These power slot changes shouldn’t alter many of the game’s current strategies. Instead, they’ll allow players to choose other weapons without feeling like they’re missing out on damage."
"Rocket launchers are getting a 60 to 65 percent damage nerf. Conversely, the Cluster Bomb perk is being nerfed by 80 percent. Bungie states that Cluster Bombs were too good but too inconsistent, making them situational.
To solve this problem, rockets will now deal higher raw damage, with clusters being a nice bonus in certain situations.
It’s worth noting that Cluster Bombs have been key to certain strategies in Destiny 2. Cluster Bomb rockets are used to glitch Riven of a Thousand Voices, the final raid boss of the Last Wish raid — allowing players to kill her much quicker than intended."
Anyways look to Luke Smith and ask why he wants a slow, Shadow of Light that was Destiny 1.
Replace the GO fast update Luke and stop playing with Sandbox to keep it constantly evolving every 6 Months. Make it REALISTIC.
AUTOS/DMR/SCOUT/PULSE/SNIPER rifles should be top dog in PvP. Handguns need to be REDUCED
imagine if Militarys around the world used Magnums instead of M13(SIG SUAR MCX), Gailis, FALS, AK, SCARS, MP7, UZI'S.
IMAGINE THEM USING A MAGNUM. That is what Luke Smith "FantasyLand," wants.
I joined Destiny 1 cause I Found the Soulsteal Claw.
900 RPM with a 60 clip Magazine, and I got three Stability Perks, (I always wished for a better scope,) that was my baby, why??? It felt like an Sig MCX, WHICH is my COD weapon of Choice.
With a skilled Hand I can use it at long distances, but I also due to the RPM and magazine can clear a BUILDING up close without having to worry about my tracing of bullets AROUND a person, (Since barrel length comes into play with range, and Manuevering in tight corners.)
I joined Destiny for the Realism, combined with Pseudo God Like Powers from the Traveler, where if a grenade goes off in a Small room, everyone is deaddly, it's not just the beautiful explosion, it's the invisible concussion wave that throws ur kidneys, ur liver, against ur stomach, ur lungs against ur ribs, and brain against the skull.
This game is weak, and the any Destiny 1 fan would be in agreement.
Fyi, Grenades should do 75%-%100 damage if you have low-medium resilience. A Grenade moves our organs more than it moves the body, that's where internal injuries come from and why grenades are so deadly
Grenades used to be great in D1. There were very useful in PVE and PVP both. I know that I am in a minority here but . . . I loved the sticky grenade that the Warlock Sunsinger had. One toss and it is adios amigo. It used to surprise the crap out of people in PVP. I loved it when shotgun scrubs rushed me, tossing a grenade on their head and then jumping back to watch the fun. Good times!
Sorry, yes ik I wrote an essey.
Again, sorry I try not To.
I was a fan of destiny 1 and even invested in Stocks in the company at one point. I'm seeing the game fall flat cause of One Mans pride.
