I really think you're on to something here (Destiny)

The thing is, the final Crota battle is so ball-bustingly punishing on hard mode that the last thing anyone wants to do when we get there is experiment.

I experimented the other day using the Song of Ir Yut to take down Crota's shields in HM... it was terrible! I still feel like it was made for that purpose, but OMG it is so much harder to use than tracking rockets. I swapped back to Gjallarhorn the second I was safe after Crota rotated.

I've often wondered if the constant burn of Dragon's Breath was intended to prevent Crota's shields from regenerating. I've never tried it as I prefer a RL that tracks or has proximity detonation so I don't accidentally miss Crota.
