[YeezyGT's WQ] [MW: Handling] "Palmyra-B is Izanagi's best friend. Auto-Loading Holster with Explosive Light is going to be your go-to for all your damage needs, unless for some reason you want to shoot all rockets consecutively, then you're after Impulse/Frenzy or Impulse/Explosive Light depending on orb usage (but likely another rocket altogether that actually rolls with Clown Cartridge). Regardless, Palmyra is a great Rocket - invest into Handling rather than Velocity to get more reliable tracking."

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "In terms of PvP the tracking is a nice feature but I wouldn’t count on it 100% of the time. It will either not track, track into a wall, lock onto the wrong person, or go right where you want it. [...] Having unrelenting and chain reaction can allow you to fire the rocket one way, get into a fight and get “random” healing when the rocket lands. Niche but it would be really funny to see it happen.". Recommended MW - Blast Radius.

pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "The inherent tracking feels nice and being able to do some big damage while not having to think as much was a real game changer in my group's first attempt at Vow of the Disciple. The fire and forget nature of tracking launchers allows you to focus on literally anything else. Just be mindful of the lasting impressions delay. That has gotten me killed more than once.".

pve 12 wishlist rolls

Inspired by DMB Player Versus Enemies Podcast 11. PvE first roll for boss damage. Shapeable weapon. Volatile Launch or Confined Launch keep the velocity down, which is good in an auto-tracking launcher, and Impact Casing ups damage slightly. For Boss DPS, Auto-Loading Holster is the best option, with Explosive Light (but not the enhanced version which adds velocity) the best if you're in a fireteam and generating orbs, and for Champions with an instant detonation. If you're looking for straight boss damage, or soloing, Lasting Impression is easier to use. Recommended MW: Blast Radius or Handling, with damage-boosting (Major, Boss or Taken Spec) mod.
