Mercules904 (okay PvE) - "Unfortunately, this is not really a great rocket launcher for PvE, and it's only slightly better than it's archetype-mates in PvP. Zenobia-D can do everything it can do, but better for PvE."

Mercules904 (okay PvP) - "Fact of the matter is, if you're using a Rocket Launcher in PvP it should be Truth, Wardcliff, or one of the High-Impacts like Sleepless or Roar of the Bear. Using the lite-tracking offered by Pyroclastic is a gimmick better suited for Gambit (for the most part)."
