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]

    • I've always used it on Deathsinger. Works great. It's also effective on Crota if you can hit him. The flare sticks to him causing constant DPS.

    • It's like copying the Mona Lisa with crayons. I like it. Plus lots of people should have db now. Get creative folks.

    • The one reason I love using dragons breath. The all over effect and how it disperses enemies. Really useful when playing sunsinger.

    • Glad to see someone out there pushing new stuff. I own a DB, just never used it. Next on my list to max- looking forward to that vid.

    • Good to see that someone is willing to try out a different weapon. I have both, but if my digital life depended on it, Gally is my choice. It comes down to killing the enemy vs. damaging or moving the enemy. A dead enemy is always better. Same goes for HOC, its initial hit may not kill a high level enemy, and then the secondary shells fall away from the main target and do not damage it. With Gally the one, two punch is so effective. DB needs to have the solar flare stay up for much longer, and as others have suggested, some kind of napalm effect that sticks to and damages enemies over time; would really make it unique.

    • Why try to learn a new interesting weapon when you can use the most consistently powerful one in the game which is also made easy mode with tracking...because it needs it ;)

I will try it though. Also, it really annoys me that the grenades burn for like 1 second and disappear. Makes no sense.

            • I feel like every Exotic is like that. I don't like any exotic outside of upgrading it a couple nodes first. Its what makes them special. No Land Beyond being the perfect example. Just YouTube the guys going on headshot streaks in the crucible, the type that wouldn't be possible with any other primary. I hate it, but its not a useless gun at all.

            • I'll agree with everything you say. I have DB and it's maxed out. It performs as advertised and is awesome for stationary enemies (Crota, Templar, Phogoth, Nexus, ect). I have Giggidyhorn as well. I've used both and have to say Gally is superior but DB is absolutely adequate in the right hands. If DB tracked it'd be on par with Gally.... Personally I use Gally more because of the tracking perk. It takes error out of the equation. If the boss takes a step to the right or left in the eleven minutes from launch-to-impact the damned rocket still hits him. That way I won't be "that guy" that missed and caused the sword bearer to die.

            • I received Hunger of Crota on Saturday night. I don't have Gjallahorn, but I do have Dragon's Breath (and Truth, though it is void and really doesn't apply the same way to your comparisons). I haven't really tested Hunger of Crota in action, since I only just received it. Seeing as it has tracking and does not take up an exotic slot, wouldn't it be preferable and/or of equal use as Dragon's Breath in many of the same contexts as you describe? I ask this question sincerely since, as I said, I have not had much chance to use it, and it is not yet upgraded.

              • I'd like an actual damage count, for dragons breath initial damage and then the dps until it runs out vs gjallarhorns initial damage and then the wolf pack rounds as well.

                  • It is not a terrible rocket launcher. However all the situations it can be used for, it is surpassed by Gjallarhorn.

                    • My first Crota Hardmode kill was with a Dragonbreath hit that helped take him down (see the video). I think it is a very good rocket launcher. Of course you are going to miss some hits (it is in the video as wel) but the blast radius is fantastic to clear thralls on the stairs. I havent been blessed by the RNG God to get a Ghorn, it is the only exotic heavy weapon that I do not have. I have to deal with I have. :)

                      • Dragons breath is only good to 1 shot the shrieker That's it It doesn't have tracking. This may sound like a noob answer but in a sword weilder and the thing i hate the most is when a rocket Flys past crota and then I inspect some one and they're using a fu'cking dragons breath... People who try to dismiss gjallarhorn in anyway are in denial that it's the strongest and most resourceful weapon in the game
