*Apologies on the gameplay here for some of these clips. I go into how to optimize this exotic the most, but we had slotted old footage of just shooting dragon's breath off everywhere without optimizing it the way that it should. At **4:56** onward we really stress how to optimize this exotic treating it similarity to anarchy or witherhoard.*
I am a D1 player who also plays D2 and took 2 years off until about 6 months ago....
I have the G-horn. Is it not shit anymore? I thought the Wolfpack rounds were exclusive to that.
@@doctaj.2571they nerfed g-horn's damage output some time ago
Lol just added to the list of only one person can use it exotic list
@@doctaj.2571 It's a support pick because it gives wolfpacks to legendary rockets (like the apex predator mentioned in this vid). Having 1 gally with 5 legendary rockets is usually the best option, but dragon's breath paired with a fusion may be an okay substitute for a higher total damage instead of dps. Gally's other big usage is ironically ad clear in some of the highest level content like GMs where you can get infinite heavy by abusing things like cenotaph (warlock exotic). Gally has gotten more than a few nerfs but it's still a great exotic that has a place in most damage scenarios.
If you're interested in specifics, check out Aegis.
That's not Grieg...it's Gregory
guys will see this and just think "hell yeah"
hell yeah
hell yeah
hell yeah
Dudes rock hell yeah
Hell yea
One thing that isn't mentioned here that should. Gunpowder Gamble counts as an Ignition. Throw it into a croud with the Scorch Fragement, blow the load, and get a faster fill on the Gas of this weapon. Plus free spreading of schorch for more kabloomies.
This is very quickly becoming a favorite exotic of mine.
Nice
Why I love fusions on warlock still, you have so many ways to increase the gas charge
Imma try that after work, being rocking hunter with celestial, gunpowder and a incandescent hand cannon just swiping ads and deleting champions. The golden gun buff with celestial is humongous. I did 999,999 to a champion even without stunning it (it was a barrier)
That's cool but man I hate gunpowder gamble because it just doesn't have very many fragment slots. That, and I tend to nuke myself when I try to throw a healing nade.
@@snottytoe6957 hahahaha same. Knock em down and on your marks are good, but for the build i went with (AoE/ads cleaner/champ killer) i need it for that extra ad clear and burst dmg.
With the right artifacts, i use knife trick, a hand cannon on the energy slot with incandescent, dragon's breath and a slide shotty on kinetic. I might as well upload a rub of me rocking that with celestial nighthawk
Watching cross blast off all those rockets without letting composite propellant build makes my soul hurt
He’s pretty dumb
Him and Fallout were the same when reviewing this rocket. They just spammed the rocket instead of treating it like wither/anarchy 🙃
Hey would you mind explaining how that works? I’ve not really had a look at this weapon so how does letting build help? What does it do?
I think most of those clips were pre catalyst and reused and or during damage testing to check the difference in what the stacks do 💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥
I kicked your ass so hard in team scorched you went to watch Aztecross, I'm like his own personal advertiser. Anyways, don't queue sparrow control bud unless you want an a-s-s WHOOPIN.
Sincerely,
🚴
Did you know if you disable overload rockets in the artifact, that this rocket is amazing at barrier champs? Just grab radiant from a few solar head shots, shoot rocket and barrier champ and its ignition tick dmg breaks the barrier champs shield and continues to damage the champ lol
Yep wetherhoad works same way
The ignitions it creates so easily also stuns unstoppable... So this season dragons Breath is a true swiss army knife for anti champion use.
Combine it with seacant filaments and u got all 3 types covered
One of these days we'll have enough passive weapons for every member of a fireteam to have their own weapon to passively deal damage! (3 down, only 3 to go)
What are the other 2?
@@devontricmoorewitherhoard anarchy
@@devontricmoorewitherhoard, anarchy
Hey guys, I missed out on the anarchy meta. Does it only work well with 1 person similar to the other exotics yall mentioned?
You could have one person on TTF too
Apotheosis, pop super after throwing a fusion , melee and dragon breath and just spam grenades melees and all those ignitions triggers DB and you got insane damage for 8 seconds
What to do when you are out of grenades and melee?
@@bellcranel8873Fire dragons breath then swap to special for a couple seconds then loop.
There are so many synergies with this weapon. Another good one that is similar is the shards of galanor combo.....fire rocket throw knives to proc revitalizing blast throw BB swap to fusion with controlled burst or vorpal or bait and switch whatever you like/got all the damage sources will get you your super back( plus half from shards) in another 10 seconds or so.....for moderate to long damage phases this build puts out crazy damage.
Add on a strand or stasis debuff with the new fusion thst rolls with slice....boom even more damage on top of that. Also use ember of wonder( ignitions make orbs) and well in bosses with lots of adds around you can fire off a rocket throw your super then dodge with powerful attraction and you can damn near throw your BB back to back....
I was running this on the new dungeon and I used my super 3 timed during the damage rotation on the second orge boss, nearly got the 4 off but missed it by a second.
While Warlock and Titan can get some really good stuff out of it, hands down Hunters have the strongest interactions with Dragon's Breath. From Weighted Knife to instantly detonate a scorched target, to knife trick to instantly finish scorch stacking this season with the artifact mod, to exotics like Shards of Galanor for more blade barrage uptime, Ophidia Spathe for a completely consistent loop on Dragon's Breath, or even Caliban's Hand to both replace knife trick's functionality on bosses and cause insta-ignitions on trash mobs.
To turn off your brain, throw on Ophidia Spathe, Knife Trick, Gambler's Dodge, Ember of Singeing, and Dragon's Breath. Been running it since the start of the season and especially with these artifact mods you can fully loop the rocket every time you dodge.
Dawn chorus
Never ever thought I would EVER say this but Apotheosis Veil would like a word.
This thing is perfect for when I'm running lucky pants wardens law and don't really need a heavy for add clear or main dps. Pop the rocket, do my lucky pants damage burst and pop another rocket or throw knives if I need the ignition for reload. Lucky Wardens Law already does disgusting damage and having that passive damage at the same time only makes it better.
Having an Eremite as backup too, man that is some good damage
I love this rocket launcher, from the first shot I was like "Oh yea, this is good" Gally never dropped for me in D1, so Dragons Breath is all I had. Glad it's back and better than ever.
One utility that isn’t mentioned…ignitions stagger bosses, this RL is really good at stun locking bosses, especially in a fire and forget manner. It’s so good for solo play, the second warlords boss and others bosses that pressure you with its movement
The fact that you used New York City Breakers @ 10:06 was all I needed to hit that subscribe button.
i wish the fuel counter was always visible when the gun has ammo, bc sometimes hearing the autoloading sound is really hard mid combat
The catty took me from a 3 phase to a 2 phase on the second boss of the new dungeon, safe to say it’s good.
the lv100 ornament makes the sight glow so its a little more user friendly when you have to focus on stuff rather than the exhausts glowing
I'm working on the catalyst thanks for the information 👍
I end up using foetracer on blade barrage, or apotheosis veil post-buff on well, and a fusion rifle for the in-between rocket shots
I used it in D1 as my go to rocket. Damn I loved it. I can't say how much this THIS DRAGONS final form is what I wished so bad for. Thanks for the video.
kinetic tremors supremacy, smg of choice and dragons gonna be a nice dps rotation
Dragon’s Breath seems to work well with Argent Ordinance and Surge mods paired together. Run your three surges, two time dialations, and Argent Ordinance. Then using Dragon’s Breath in a rotation will allow you to get some decent mileage out of surges and Ordinance whereas if you just spam rockets you’re gonna immediately use up all your stacks of armor charge.
I am pleasantly surprised at the wanton destruction this weapon levies upon our wretched enemies. I fire, turn away, and when I turn back what do I see? Fire, fire everywhere, and all my enemies are cinders.
I havent played this game in like a year, if not longer, but I still watch your videos for some reason
I have a lot of fun with dragons breath.
Additionally using sun bracers for my warlock also works really well.
Calibrating data for this weapon drags on though.
It's awesome for solo dps in the new dungeon without the catalyst I can only imagine how it is with it
I have been using it with wardens law+lucky pants. Loads of fun for onslaught.
Ophidia, weighted, Cartesian with whatever primary have been so fun this season with dragons breath
Btw all exotic rockets should have tracking by default
WellLock with Starfire and Ember of Benevolence to hotswap fusion grenade with the new rotation gives enough ignitions to pump your DPS up in any team activity.
can we get a build/ build video revolving entirely around dragon's breath? it been my all time favorite exotic since it came out in d1 and id love a build specifically for it
I hope the additional two rows of artifact mods coming with episodes are more like the stuff at then end of the artifact instead of the beginning
This weapon has been such a huge surprise, i love it. Its especially nesty for solo play.
The best Truth catalyst they can go for imo is one that grants a Target lock effect per mag, ramping the 2nd and 3rd rockets damage to match the output of, say, 4-5 rockets worth of damage. That would help it at least in DPS instances
Iv been doing the fire team medic build on Titan. Precious scars, a incadecent heal clip adhorative and dragons breath.
Be nice and go level this catalyst in Dares of Eternity where you can get regenerative heavy ammo
The hard part is to get calibration data, not really the kills 😑
@@katharsis1926 If you get lvl 22(I think) on the battlepass, you get the 4x calibration data boost. Its really not worth grinding data without that.
@@VadersMyUncle I'm lvl 60 right now and I don't even want to imagine how slow it would be without that 🤣 like you get 1/2 points then
For all heavy weapon farms please just go to the cosmodrome. Go to the area behind Shaw Han where the walker spawns kill it every person that opens the chest spawns 4 heavy bricks. Ad's spawn infinitely walker spawns 30 seconds after its killed dummy easy heavy farm. Not unusual to see 50-100 heavy bricks just laying on the ground. No wasting rally flags no having to worry about about a blueberry knocking of the ledge and losing Star horses favor.
Those rockets ending explosion have killed me a painful amount of times
Ngl in NF/GM or Lost Sector it's doing some serious job. Tremendous damage when nicely combined to different buffs, 2 stun types and can shred ads really fast and really effectively
I'm so excited for this weapon i loved it in D1. And im in the 3% that love gambit so this will be good for me
Dragons Breath / Overture are by far my fav exotics now
Cross, love you and your content, but did you just say “similarily?” Haha love it
Dawn Chorus may not do that much for boss dps but it does push the needle during neutral game when you're killing ads. I've noticed I was able to trigger ignitions far more consistently during master dungeon runs simply because I had that helmet on. Definitly worth having on as a passive boost or a switch exotic just like Apothesis Veil.
This is gonna fit really well with my Caliban's hand build
Dragon's Breath and shards of galanor (plus gunpowder gamble) lets this weapon really shine. Also apotheosis but im not a fan of swaps or using it for a whole encounter but to each their own
Dawn Chorus with Strand, scorch tics refill melee which procs unravel tics.
Crazy to me that so many people (huge content creators included) are still trying to use this thing as a normal rocket launcher. GUYS: IT AUTOLOADS ITSELF. Use it like an anarchy/witherhoard, it is not good as a normal rocket launcher.
I found that having the overload perk stopped the ignitions from stunning unstoppables while i was lunning lost sector's yesterday.
Adding Solar Grenades on every detonation would be even HOTTER!🥵
Hey cross do you think the scorch ticks will increase the damage of gathering storm from jolt triggers? Or maybe it's worth running a certain voltshot sidearm on the chimera for the passive jolt triggers?
I have rsther fond memories of the OG dragons breath. My buddy and I would always 2-man OG crota with it.
Catalyst completions at In the Deep part of shadowkeep. If you've completed it then wait till it's in rotation or use a character that hasnt completed it. No engrams or witches, constant targets and tons of ammodrops.
I think it sounds like Dragon's Breath might actually do well on my Sentinel Titan. I build into grenades with Weakening and Extended Timer + Controlled Demolitionist on Vortex Grenades. Yeet Super Vortex Grenade -> Fire Rocket = Massive Damage from Scorch, Ignitions, and the Volatile Explosions that all of that damage is proccing, all of which is better due to the Weakening effect and even afterwards, Volatile Explosions will still get triggered from all the DoT.
Thanks, Cross! I'm excited to nab the catalyst and pair it with my Sunbracers. Time to burn the world down.
Also, would running Savathun's Spire grant Catalyst progress? I know it says that seasonal playlist games grant progress, but I'm not sure if it's only the current season. Sorry for the stupid question.
Thanks again for all you do, man. Best wishes for the holiday season
Ive been pairing it with path of burning steps on a scorche build...nasty
Been pairing this with shards of galanor, my bait and switch supremacy and im just super spaming. Such a crazy loop.
I normally run this with path of burning step and zhalos bane. The 4X solar weapon buff on top of radiant is pretty nasty
This man really showed us everything but what we actually wanted to see.
Dragons breath used like witherhoard with supremacy shots used in between for dps vs full wolf pack rounds legend rocket launcher dps.
What matters is the total damage you can put out in a damage phase. Using it the correct way. If you use legends with wolf packs for damage you have to use dragons breath with supremacy shots in between shots.
If the damage phase is between like 15-25 You're still getting out dpsed with a proper rocket rotation with some form of instant loading. As long as the legendary rocket user has ammo , they're going to be achieving higher dps , argent ordnance this season also makes things like cold comfort dumping alot stronger (even if the deleted ballidorse) , this thing is really only reserved for ppl who either can't or don't want to do things like izi gl rocket rdm/ RoF , or you're doing a solo dungeon or something , especially for the new dungeon's second encounter , DB cooks pretty damn hard (no pun intended) . But no for pure dps stick to the izi gl rocket cycles or double shotty cycles(bait supremacy does now cook pretty hard sitting at around a 130k dps range but is not very good for a rocket cycle as your rocket is stealing all your bait n switch timer so it makes for a very funky loadout to use ) .
for dps sun bracers is really good with it
@2:00 Dam Cross Hella called my ass out on that. Did 32 games of Nightfall last night 😅😂
this + lucky pants wardens law probs goes p hard since you wanna throw the rocket switch blow the load rinse and repeat
It works epic in boss room in the nightfall on the Moon.
Can we get a video about Vouchsafe rolling with repulsor brace and destabilizing rounds?? Its nutty.
Man, one with dragons breath one with gally and one with a chill clip rocket would be nuts
my first fireteam finder listing will be 40 games of gambit for DB catalyst - let’s go 🔥
I had fun with dragons breath in d1 I think I was the only one using it but had fun
I absolutely love this thing.
Idk sounds like a nice little addition to a solar hunter build with 1-2 punch and some grenade/knife loop
I’ve been killed by the rocket so many times. And I still love it! Catalyst literally puts Gas in this thing! 😂
I love the chaos DB causes on the battlefield
This exotic is fire!!
It’s also important to note you don’t have to stick a rocket into an enemy target…. You can place the rocket on top of a ceiling in a building and it will rain down fuel
Works well with a radiant build 😊
My old gripe with this gun is that if you step in the fuel, it will blow you up regardless of resilence or healing. Getting really tired of blowing myself up. This is why i never use glavies, GLs, or gunpowder gamble.
This will be a long time in the future but with current Light and Darkness buffs and debuffs a full raid team might want to have one subclass per Gaurdian
I get the feeling with the right setup I could really get some major benefits from this weapon with a sunbracers build since there’s the mod that debuffs targets affected by solar ability’s and just dropping all my solar nades on a boss and then putting a shot into it and continuing the rotation
only debuffs on solar melee hits
@@qwerty0047 No, grenades and even well cast apply it too.
@@bruhmoment8732 wait what? I guess thats on me cuz I've just been on healing nades all season
You should be playing Gambit next week. Dragons Breath with catalyst is so good for primeval damage. If you’re a titan, one two punch and synthoceps with double/triple heavy handed reaps waves insanely hard and thruster is the chefs kiss with triple powerful attraction. Run it with a max range occluded finality.
Remember, if you’re not optimized for gambit, you’re not playing gambit correctly.
Calibans works well. I like it.
I’m still waiting for the Zhallo Supercell and the Zen Meteor!
This is so much fun to use with double or even triple cenotaph warlocks
Pro tip, Rivens Lair doesn't count towards catalyst progress even though it's a seasonal activity. The coil does though
I've been balls deep into Solar with my Titan Scars build with Dragon's Breath and Epochal Integration... and I feel invincible while also exploding everything around me.
Basically anarchy if it was a solar rocket.
I did my Warlods Ruin solo flawless yesterday with Dragon's, i used it for the 2nd and last boss. I'm a casual btw, so yeh i know 💀
For the 2nd boss, it's very good since it stuns the ogre, and then u can do dps with another weapon.
But for the boss... it's not the best (it was my best option unfortunately), but you can do like around or more than 1 million per floor, which means like 3 phases, again not the best, but for a support rocket, it seems awesome, lets see how it will works after this season without the seasonal mods.
Dawn chorus is crazy with this
Final Warning is very good this season, you should give it a look.
But Dawn Chorus synergy very well with Solar 3.0 and new artifact mods from the current season!
My first exotic and favorite.
I know I'm a madman... but I need to tell people that STARFIRE PROTOCOL might be a pretty sleeper play combined with dragon's breath DPS setups.
Ember of Benevolence increases your ability recharge while teammates are in your well of radiance, and damaging enemies while in well charges your grenade.
Between the damage ticks from dragon's breath, your other dps weapon, AND benevolence regen, you should be getting fusion grenades super often which both helps procc ignitions for dragon's breath and also deals massive damage to the boss.
Could be useful for longer DPS phases such as warpriest, for example
I have heard twice now that kills in the crucible give you points but i did a match and still only got the standard 4 that you would get from strikes yet it was a bit faster?
It’s a sweet rocket launcher , at first I didn’t like it but know I can’t live without. It does some serious damage
just to add regarding the moronic rocket killing you thing, it also kills teammates if they walk near to the target hit with the rocket, it's not an always effect though, I was doing coil the other day and died to some muppet on my team spamming it into the wyvern boss on phase 4 of the place, and when it did the slam jump move (I was full health and had jumped out of the impact area so dmg taken should have been minimal), and I got 1 shot, in the kill feed it said 'killed by the architects' with a solar dmg symbol next to it, that boss only does void damage (it hadn't done the generic boss stomp that leaves fire on the floor), so keep that in mind if you take it into multiplayer activities with moving targets, especially where revives are limited etc.
For anyone having trouble soloing the new dungeon: Get this catalyst, grab dawn chorus, build into scorch
Dragon's breath can give you 5 free golden gun deadshot bullets. I wonder if those extra shots work with SES
"Burn the world. Burn it all."
Glad to see my favorite D1 heavy get a remake and with all the D2 mechanics makes it live up to it's quote
If you use DB properly (like Anarchy) then Argent Ordnance is a terrible match up as you switch to a special as soon as you fire it. But will work for burst damage if you use Apotheosis Veil and spam abilities with DB out.
Belching flames, Lasting Impressions on steroids!! Sign me up. This RL is gonna be phenomenal
Wanted 2 see 1 phase of Greg but good video
i am farming gambit for engrams to focus breakneck anyways so i already have the catalyst mostly finished, still dont have the breakneck roll i want though
15:46 learnt that the hard way 😭
does ardent work for your ignitions and scorch after you stow DB?
I completely disregarded this exotic as I'm not a huge fan of Rocket Launchers. but i have been pairing this with my hunter with Caliban's Hand, and my god, it sets the world on fire
Argent Ordnance is a must have for this, pair it along side that other artifact perk that grants armor charges from multi-kills with grenade and rocket launchers and those ignitions and fire projectiles from DB will constantly keep up that damage boost.
Amber of Ashes works for this? Cuz I tried to count ignitions and with a 5x it always did 2 ignitions before running out, whether I used Ashes or not
