Dragons Breath is also pretty terrible and could use a buff.

  • My main issue with Dragon's Breath is that the developers backed themselves into a bit of a corner with Truth and Gjallarhorn. How can they be outdone? How can a rocket launcher be better in PvP than Truth, which hunts them to the ends of the earth and explodes as soon as it's close enough to kill? How can a rocket launcher be better than Gjallarhorn without doing the same thing, but with more damage? I would make it a total stand-alone deal, in which no other launcher functioned like it. High fire rate, high velocity, minimal blast radius. It would basically require a direct hit, but apply a burning damage over time effect, in addition to/instead of the solar flares, and could be fired rapidly like a very, [i]very[/i] heavy rifle.

  • The only issue with requiring a direct hit is that all the people who just fire it blindly at anything that moves will still hate it. Since they need every launcher to have tracking people will still complain about it. I think its fine without tracking and really i think the only change needed is its exotic effect. Instead of that lame solar grenade i think a napalm effect would be pretty effective. Essentially anything caught in the blast radius is set on fire (taking substantial damage from the DoT) and then either A) Sets other enemies on fire that are nearby or B) enemies that are burning deal damage to nearby enemies and stack damage to other burning enemies. For example, lets say you have 2 groups of 3 enemies. The first group is in a line so the one in the middle would take 3x the burning damage while the 2 on the ends are only taking 2x the damage. The other group is in a triangle formation so all 3 of them are taking 3x the burning damage. I think this would make DB the ultimate RL for large crowds leaving Truth excel at PVP and Gjally for single target damage in PvE.

  • Bump. If they made the 'Solar Flare' significantly larger it might see some use in Crucible Control (as area-denial). At any rate, Truth and Gjallahorn beat it rather handily right now. (I have all three, I should know.)
