Pimp my Rocket: Rocket Launcher Builds
Pricklyman:
My only scepticism with the Tac. Rocket Launcher is that you need a level of Whizkid.
This either means 2 traits towards Finesse, then one in Whizkid. This then proceeds to delay your master till late Hell, pretty much meaning that your going for a masterless run.
OR: One level in Whizkid while a Tech, which would be perfect if Fireangel actually...worked...
AlterAsc:
I'm okay with tiny blast, but not okay with +4 accuracy.What's the point of all improvements when you just can't hit the damned thing?So limited to EE builds only.

That level of WK has other uses than merely a TRL. Many of those uses even lets you save your bulk mods exclusively, and a second level will let you A-mod your TRL.

Since I have mentioned the small explosion in a negative context before, I'd like to defend myself: I said it to someone who thought about assembling the tactical rocket launcher for crowd control, with the player saying "it is unlikely I will get a BFG." So I do think that, as an emergency mass-killing weapon, the tactical rocket launcher is harmed quite a bit by its small explosion. I have had good experiences with the tactical rocket launcher before, but I personally prefer the missile launcher.

I, for one, do not understand the stigma against masterless runs. They're not harder, or anything. If you don't have your master, you do have everything said master would straightjacket you out of and/or simply more defensive traits.

Well yes, the Tactical Rocket launcher is an EE build. That's the entire point. It's a weapon for those pursuing the Rocket Launcher as a build unto itself.

That's because it isn't. The Tactical Launcher is a primary weapon, one you can use frequently and often without blowing up absolutely every desperately-needed item and lava barrel in the game. The Missile Launcher was obviously custom designed for people like you; who want rocket power every "now and then."
