Pybro is the only way to play.
Though I use a S Homewrecker with the Sappers Removed Part rather than the stupid expensive Maul.
Who uses the shotgun over the flare gun? Maybe reserve but definitely not default. Also VSH isn't actually playingThe damage penalty isn't that bad, I mean if you're using the flare gun instead of the Shotty then sure it sucks. And on VSH you can still play a mean capping Pyro with it.
Stock really sucks, I don't like how it looks, nor how slow it isTo be fair, if you switch to your melee weapon that does ~70 damage a hit while using your flamethrower, you're doing something wrong. The axtinguisher used to be ok, but now you're better off throwing on a stock flamethrower.
I don't wanna :/So just go back to being Spyro and backstabbing people on fire with the Axtinguisher.
I use the shotgun. I use it in such a way that it becomes my primary. You don't always have to combo, which is something a lot of people don't understand about pyro. Shotgun has great damage, about 50 when your flamethrower is out of reach and 70-90 when up close. I also main scout, so I am a little biased when it comes to shotguns.Who uses the shotgun over the flare gun? Maybe reserve but definitely not default. Also VSH isn't actually playing

Shotty is better in many cases, especially when there are a bunch of fgt Pyros on the other team.Who uses the shotgun over the flare gun? Maybe reserve but definitely not default. Also VSH isn't actually playing

Then use the reserve shooter, it's almost the flare gun with bullets on top. Also, if you know how to play Pyro skillfully, you can crit the Pyro with a flare gun.Shotty is better in many cases, especially when there are a bunch of fgt Pyros on the other team.
Yes but it's just not as good as the shotgun against another Pyro, if you miss the crit you're doing nothing.Then use the reserve shooter, it's almost the flare gun with bullets on top. Also, if you know how to play Pyro skillfully, you can crit the Pyro with a flare gun.
Just don't miss. It takes time to master and I've invested that time.Yes but it's just not as good as the shotgun against another Pyro, if you miss the crit you're doing nothing.
Doesn't matter if you master it, knockback from other weapons can fuck you up and you would miss.Just don't miss. It takes time to master and I've invested that time.

It's been a rarity for me to be knocked back thus messing up my shot because I'm usually moving anyway.Doesn't matter if you master it, knockback from other weapons can fuck you up and you would miss.
We're talking about the flare gun and critting Pyros with it lol.You can master reserve in 4 seconds because it is easy mode.
Yes but still, even if you master it there will be times that you miss. Shotty is just overall better for killing Pyros.It's been a rarity for me to be knocked back thus messing up my shot because I'm usually moving anyway.

First CDAWG, now you, by stock, I meant flamethrower, not shotgun. I personally wouldn't mind the degreaser being nerfed if the axtinguisher gets reset to it's initial status of 195 all aroundstock doesnt suck what the hell is wrong with you.
reserve is good but its only good when combing with airblast. saying stock shotgun is sucks on any class but heavy is dumb. And if you're using the degreaser you shouldn't give a shit how slow it is because your switch is insanely fast to begin with, and if you're rolling and other flamethrower then why use reserve to begin with.
and while we're on the topic of the degreaser, i think it should be nerfed. Like to the point where afterburn deals no dmg it justs there for combos such as axtinguisher or flaregun. Or at least buff the other flamethrowers to where they are equal with the degreaser.
I never said it wasn't but it's just not satisfying. For killing Pyros, sure you can just shotgun them but it's not as satisfying as pushing them high enough into the air, letting out a bit of fire that registers later and getting that fraction of a second flare shot.Yes but still, even if you master it there will be times that you miss.

It's more satisfying to push them off a ledge.First CDAWG, now you, by stock, I meant flamethrower, not shotgun. I personally wouldn't mind the degreaser being nerfed if the axtinguisher gets reset to it's initial status of 195 all around

It's funny, not satisfying.It's more satisfying to push them off a ledge.
That's just boring, if ya wanna protect engies, airblast the uber back and destroy the uber when it ends.The true master race pyro is
-Stock
-Shotgun
-Maul
Positives include:
+Being a good engineer pal
+Providing good damage over time/up front
+Good mid-close range combos with the shotgun, plus a great counter to other pyros cruising with the flare
+hella airblasts
+weapon switch is pretty fast
Negative:
-Uhm I guess weapon switch could be faster?
-no instant kills from behind
So with that loadout you're an offensive AND defensive machine. Spies will be crying, other pyros will be backtracking, and all the projectile assholes will be sad as well.
