Pure and simple, this thread is for PvE tactics discussion to help out people who either don't have Ghorn want to learn how to apply other weapons to situations where they might have overly relied on Ghorn. Ideally, this will help with getting people without Ghorn into events or finding some good tactical applications for other weapons that have been sitting in your vault.
Don't just limit discussion to rocket launchers, if something other than rockets is a better fit, mention it.
I'll start:
Rocket launchers with tracking warheads:
Truth
Hunger of Crota
Either of these are fine subs for Crota, and many other applications. Hunger also has cluster bombs, making it very effective against swarms of adds.
Rocket launchers with similar damage potential:
Dragon's Breath. Mathematically it does more damage (if only the enemy would hold still...)
I've been thinking I might want to learn this launcher and how a team can exploit the damage potential. Mathematically it can one-shot anything that Ghorn can, so stationary targets (shriekers, fallen tanks) should be easy targets. I've also been wondering if a 2 or 3 man fireteam could stretch this out with a good sniper: sniper stunlocks target while his teammates unload Dragon's Breath rounds. I'd also like to try this in the Templar fight in VoG but I don't run VoG that much.
Crota himself:
If a team can down Crota with nothing but No Land Beyond, it's possible to down him with just about anything. The kicker of course is that of the 2 non-ghorn tracking RL's, one of them is a Crota reward. Either way, a team loaded with Truth should have no problems. I'd love to see stats for this encounter; I can find plenty of #'s for Crota's health and player sword damage, but not a lot of stats on how much damage his shield takes. Any input on how much dmg his shield actually takes?
In PoE:
The Fallen servitor boss that can heal itself is a pain, and typically groups I've run with want to use Weapons of Light and unload Ghorn (of course). However, my last couple of runs I felt like it went better with WoL and then unloading with snipers or in my case the Vision of Confluence. I wasn't able to confirm if the boss can be stunlocked by crit sniper shots, so people with more knowledge of this encounter please leave some notes in the comments.
Let's get some good intel out to fellow players. A well informed community will reward you with more successful raids/strikes/etc. We all know that Ghorn isn't required to win any activity in this game, let's prove it.
