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]

Edited by bilid: 2/2/2015 4:55:25 PMthe problem is that gjallahorn does everything better than it, and you have grenades called solar grenades and pulse grenades that work just as good, pulse grenades works amazing as it has increased length, i've cleared a lot of CE raids with my raid team, we've tried lots of setups and realised that dragons breath is not as good a a gjallahorn or hunger of crota for clearing out enemies and we always have a variety of characters so theres atleast 1 warlock and titan for the grenades, even a gjallahorn seems useless until hallway as icebreaker can clear out a shit ton of enemies in 1 shot at the light pillar part and it has increased agility perk. hunger of crota > Dragons breath, does more damage and has tracking, can also kill shriekers in 1 shot on normal while you have to wait 10 seconds for dragons breath to destroy it. overall dragons breath is more of a cheesers weapon and a weapon you would just use to have some fun. it's only good if you don''t have a gjallahorn, hunger of crota or hezen vengence, if it has tracking maybe it will be on par or just below hunger of crota.
