In the game's current state there are 2 exotic Solar launchers and a Void launcher. The problem is, Gjallarhorn is significantly better than Dragons breath, ultimately negating the need for DB to exist. (As stated in the above video from PlanetDestiny)
Here are some suggestions (all of these are either/or scenarios, not meant to be taken cumulatively, rather, individually).
-Make Gjallarhorn Arc Damage.
-increase the duration of DB's solar flare, allowing for use to block off corridors
-increase intensity of solar flare, lowering the flare's time to kill
-make flare follow the enemy it's damaged most
-make flare ignite enemies that fall into flare radius
-increase DB standard magazine size to 3, change DB tripod to grenades and horseshoes, increase DB velocity, decrease truth velocity
-increase DB blast radius, increase DB velocity, change DB heavy payload to flared magwell
Sound off below, what does everybody think?

Sounds good to me. In all honesty I thought Gjallarhorn was arc until I fired the first shot. Even then I was slightly taken aback that the blue missile I just launched caused red damage... wat. Its like the blast from firefly. Its cool when its on a solar weapon. But they need to change the colors depending on the element.

Why does everyone that doesn't have gally want it nerfed or changed in some way. I mean it's the last exotic left none of the others feel exotic and op , I mean do you not want there to be one last true exotic?

None of this will be an issue for long. Once the new hunter class is released , being able to immobilize enemies even strike bosses, DB will have the potential to do more damage than Ghorn. If one person empties a clip into an immobilized enemies like phogoth , he will receive all the damage of three solarflares can offer, who'll taking damage from three more. If three people shot three rockets, you'd have 9 flares constantly doing damage. I'll let that sink in \m/

I like the idea of changing Jellyhorn arc. I also like the idea of the flare following you, sort of like that cheating axion b**ch grenade, but you actually have to earn it by using heavy. So the rocket wouldn't actually have a blast radius initially, but instead implodes and releases a solar flare that tracks you down, giving burn damage, but when the flare timer runs out, it releases its blast radius like how a star does when it runs out of energy. It could blind someone, but that might be too much.

Hey dragons breath melts fallen walkers better than any weapon in solar damage. If the enemy has any kind of mobility dragons breath will lose its power the more mobility the enemy has.

You gust got to know how to use it because its pretty successful for me in pvp
-
I do not think anything should be nerf ed just buff other things.

I agree. I made a post about making it arc. We need a good arc rocket and it would give us a reason to use it. As it stands I would use hunger of crota before dragons breath.

Solar is the best elemental damage type. So keep the best rocket solar and make dragons breath arc
