Radegast’s Fury (Destiny)

I got this as a drop in Iron Banner. I keep hearing it's a really good rocket launcher. How so? What am I missing? Good rolls? Give me some ideas here!

Current perks are Army of One and Grenades and Horseshoes. But one rocket in the mag is pretty lame compared to Truth's three or other legendary's two.

I have one that's been my go-to rocket launcher on my titan since I got it. (A long time ago.)
I've got Tracking and Third Eye as the perks, with Field Scout giving me a second shot in the mag. Third Eye is pretty cool; on maps with long sightlines I can stay zoomed in and not worry about being taken out from behind. And the huge blast radius means I get a lot of kills, even if my shot isn't perfect. ;)

How does the tracking work for you? I am unsure if that's better than proximity detonation. With the fast velocity, would tracking tend to miss quick moving targets?

Tracking is hit-or-miss (literally). RF's tracking is much, much less than Truth's - but it's still enough that if someone ducks into a cave, the tracking can cause the rocket to slam into the rock instead of heading to the entrance. On the other hand, it's not enough that someone moving really fast can't evade it (and it needs a lock to actually kick in, which takes longer than I usually have). Every once in a while it's beautiful - a long-distance rocket will curve around a pillar and take out my target who just ducked behind cover - but mostly, I use it as a straight-on RL, and hope I don't get hosed by geometry. :)
