Weapon concept: Tri-Rocket Launcher (Legendary) (Destiny)

I know this sounds overpowered at first, but keep in mind the weaker-than-normal damage level of each individual missile.

I think this could be reasonably well-balanced if the damage level was such that it would, on average, do just enough to take down the shield of a wizard or captain-level enemy. Similar to hitting them each with a reasonably powerful fusion rifle of the right damage type. If you've got 3 of those enemies to deal with, having all their shields go down immediately is powerful. But you've still got work to do, and you need to do it fast, because those shields aren't staying down for long.

I wonder if something this unique would be better suited as an exotic, though. Not because I don't WANT to be able to use it all the time, mind you - I do. It's just that most legendaries aren't this far out, except for raid weapons.
