Dragons Breath - It's better than you might think.
As the title reads above, I believe Dragons Breath is better than many of you may think. Better than Gjallahorn in many cases.
[i]I am not saying it replaces Ghorn in every encounter, just in some situations.[/i]
I run DB in Crota's End in every phase except for the Crota fight with extreme success.
Lamps - Drop a huge blast with the Flare at a lamp and let your fireteam recover breifly.
Dropping a blast in your path will cause the thrall to disperse all over the place, often killing themselves falling into holes.
And lastly, firing it at the base of the bridge, keeps thrall back, while you wait for it to build and while you sprint across the bridge.
Bridge- If you know the lanes where the mobs spawn, you can spam them with DB, dealing significant damage to them as soon as they exit.
Hallway - 1 DB rocket at 331 kills a shrieker. Also, firing the rockets into the hallway, clears it of thralls for your runner to make the 2nd chest.
Ir Yut- This encounter is where the Rocket Launcher really shines. After killing both wizards, and clearing the shriekers on both sides, rush left and dump 5 remaining DB's shells into her and she literally melts. She barely moves, and basically sits in the AOE damage the whole time. Not to mention it deals TONS of damage to the adds around her.
[i]Also, most of the strike bosses hardly move, which makes DB extremely effective for them. Such as the devil walker, valas, phogoth, sepikis, the templar in VOG and the nexus. The list goes on and on.[/i]
[b]Edit: I'll get some guardians together today, and use our DB's to show just how effective they are. Stand by for youtube links. Give me a day or so, I am a parent so I get about 1-2 hours a day tops. [/b]
[b]Oh wow, this is trending. Apparently people don't believe me.[/b]

Excellent post and points. I've wanted to run this on my hunter, as it would actually give him an AOE/Defensive weapon that the class current lacks.

31 RepliesAnybody else detest the proximity detonation on Ghorn though?! Worst perk ever! Can't even think how many times that's -blam!-ed me up!

Also tripod dog

14 RepliesThis "Oh but Ghalahorn is better" and? Seems like most of you cant get ahold of it anyways. True, its not the best rocket launcher. But not being the best doesnt mean its bad. No tacking!? Boo hoo you actually have to know how to aim. I got mine before my Ghally and i enjoy them both
-
I have found it more useful than I initially expected from the reviews, and I carry it around with me in case it would be useful against a kill the target event or something

4 RepliesEdited by B: 2/3/2015 3:38:05 AMAnyone use the legendary launcher "the calling"? (I think that's the name) Saw one of the vendors had it and it probably doesn't stack up well against ghorn, hunger, etc, but I saw that it had tracking.
-
Sorry, but it's just not better than Jellyporn.
-
No matter how any times you true to find excuses that a gun is better than jellyhorn it just isn't. The jellyhorn is a mythical creature on its own it's a unicorn for some guardians and we just can't seem to catch it. Stay thirsty my friend
-
Seems to me that it would work great in crota for the continuous damage to keep his shield going down.
-
I guess I'll level it up and see how it goes.. Taking your word on this one!
-
Also bump this I wanna see DB in proper action
-
Never thought about it that way.
-
I agree. In the right situation, DB is a beast. So many people want their launchers to have tracking. Tracking is for scrubs. It takes a real pro to put a round on target. If it's a DB round you can count that it'll melt that enemy away.
-
Thank you I love this gun I have it maxed out and it is fun to shove bosses on corners
-
Now run it with g-horn to your surprise every face is even easier noobs these days lol.
-
4 RepliesUseless for Sunsinger Warlocks.

5 RepliesDragons Breath is also beast in Crucible Control mode. You'd be surprised by how many people decide to run through a Solar Flare.
-
Nice. I'll upgrade mine and give a chance..its been sitting in my vault
-
1 ReplyOr Just be a warlock with solar granade.

Edited by crack0doom: 2/3/2015 1:35:07 AMWhat does the AE tick for? I have Db maxed but have honestly never used it.
-
don't know about all the data and junk. Dragon's breath rocks. I don't have Yallahorn or Truth, generally run a maxed out Cure with Tracking. My son got Hunger last night, It looks impressive. No denying what Gjallahorn does at the crota fight though.
-
I agree

2 RepliesThis guy has a multiplier that shows the true damage breakdown of the top 5 Rocket Launchers and sniper rifles. You're welcome everyone https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/98006424/0/0/1

I'd like to see video of this.

It is a good exotic I do use my self but being in the shadow of galley it just doesn't look so good

2 RepliesDragon's Breath is simply out-shined by the Gjallarhorn is almost every aspect. It should have been an Arc damage rocket launcher, and instead of leaving behind a solar grenade, the lightning field that remains after a Fist of Havoc would have given it a reason to be used over the Gjallarhorn. It's just as redundant as Dragon's Breath (a little less redundant, really), but at least it would be useful. Name it Raigeki or something. Other ideas? Discuss.
