Uncharitable Spy
I didn't have enough space to include the guns in the poll. Just interested in hearing what you guys like to use, while I'm trying to improve my horrendous performances as spy.

I like my Eternal Reward, it forces me to depart from my earlier noob spy tactics of disguising and sitting back waiting for a "perfect" moment to strike that never comes.
I'm still using Cloak and Dagger, though, which enables my hesitation more than I'd like it to. I may make myself switch to something else for a while, to add a sense of urgency in my play.
I like the Enforcer, for dealing quick damage and then cloaking and running out of the line of fire. Players often over pursue me, and I can give them a quick stab in the back.
 
90% of spies use the ambassador + dr + stock knife. if not just replace the knife with the kunai. I feel like the cloak and dagger makes me less of an aggressive player because you sit and wait for someone to come. Just feels like you're playing more passive than aggressive
 
Stock Revolver, Ambassador sometimes, stock Knife, Kunai when I feel like being an asshole, and Enthusiast's Timepiece.
 
Depends, if I am attacking I use the Stock Knife - Dead Ringer- Ambassador

If I am defending or need to sap a bunch of engineer buildings, I use the Eternal Reward - Cloak and Dagger - Ambassador
 
Dead Ringer+L'Etranger+Saxxy (technically a standard knife)

I like using the Saxxy because any backstabs with it turn the victim into solid gold, and it's always satisfying when people think that you have a real saxxy

I'm not fond of the Cloak and Dagger because you always have to start and stop moving if you're trying to get anywhere and stay hidden. So, I just use the Dead Ringer so I can run around in plain sight and play dead if anyone catches me.

I don't have any spy revolvers other than The Diamondback and the L'Etranger. Since the Diamondback is pretty much useless, the L'Entranger is a pretty good way to build up cloak while running away from enemies, and then activating the Dead ringer when they get too close.

Perfectly sums that up for me

(Festive!) Ambassador:
Crits on headshot, I can quickly pop out and shoot go back

Knife:
The other knives are weird, I'm not very good with them
 
Generic spy set, Stock Knife, Dead Ringer, and Ambassador but when I get bored I use Kunai, Enthusiasts Time Piece, and Ambassador
 
All stock except for the DR.

I don't use Red Tape Recorder because I know how OP and annoying as heck.
 
I feel as though with the dead ringer and the cloak and dagger my movement is restricted and I end up waiting between cloak charges to make a move whereas with stock I feel very mobile and able to strike whenever I want. Also stock knife because I dont like the health cuts on the other knives and I dont like my weapon being useless when a pyro comes around. Also amby or stock revolver because I want to be able to protect myself once the element of surprise is comprimised

So my two favorite loadouts are :

amby / stock knife / invisi watch / sapper

or amby / kunai / invisi watch / sapper

Kunai is nice because it puts out fire and once you get the first stab you are pretty much set
 
I run with the dead ringer and amby and my strange festive knife (basically any reskin of the default knife is cool)
Even though as of late I haven't been playing much payload so I have begun to use the reg pistol and reskins of the invis watch for more mobility.)

No Spycicle, and saying "Fatboy Slim" instead.

I honestly forgot about the spycicle, despite it being my... weapon of choice... in my earliest attempts at being a spy. That says something about its usefulness to me.
