Made me giggle... (Destiny)

The other times I thought I had made it through without a detain bubble only to have one appear just as I fired a rocket. It seemed like those detain bubbles were taking a VERY LONG time to appear.

You probably already know this, but if you want to fire a rocket at the Templar, you're supposed to fire it as the relic holder says "1" (when counting down before firing his super at the Templar's shield. Obviously, the counting down is mainly to make sure no one is jumping when he pops it (so they don't fall through a detainment bubble and insta-die), but it also makes it a lot easier to fire one gjallarhorn rocket at the Templar right before your detainment bubble appears, and then snipe him in the face once your bubble is gone.

Yeah, you're perfectly fine as long as you fire it before his shields drop, even a split second after. As I said, every time I died due to my own rocket (except the one derp move I already mentioned) was because I thought I HADN'T been detained. I'd fire my first rocket, swap to my primary to pop the bubble, wait a bit & see I didn't get a detain bubble, swap back, fire my rocket & pow, the detain bubble would show up.

Ultimately my deaths last night stemmed from me trying to rush it so we could fit in a crota run. I would have done much better if I had just relaxed and taken it easy.

EDIT: And I can't fire a stinking Gjallarhorn as I don't have one. Maybe I'll just use my Hawkmoon instead. ;)
