The Primeval Warrior badge looks the best. Which I suppose was the intention.

I still have fun playing the Pyro. Of course, I've never been much of a "serious" player. I try to have fun more than I try to win or rack up kills, and the airblast is good for that. While I appreciate them trying to make airblast more useful (success) while still making Backburner more useful (success) I do think they reduced damage for the normal flamethrower more than should have been changed when done in conjunction with lowering afterburn time.

I still am confused why do people complain about balance in what is essentially a mirror match...

[SHAD0Wdump]

GYAH!!!


Valve... While you are busy making the Pyro a 'skill class', demomen are running around spamming pipes everwhere while wearing 50% fire and explosive damage resistence thanks to the targe.
 We pyros have to weapon switch a ton to get kills, they have to *drumroll please*, point in the general direction and shoot!
 And although I can use the airblast to send the grenades back, I'm not a friggin' ninja, I simply don't have the reaction time for this crap.

Yeah, just played a match against a team of about 4-5 spammomen and a stray medic. And that damn sniper...

Switch to backburner, sneak around their backs.

If you're playing in a bottleneck map, seriously, pyros aren't good at that unless they can get behind them.

Soldier/demo is what you want for bottlenecks.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Switch to backburner, sneak around their backs.

Burn for one second, possibly getting a kill...

Whole group turns around and pills me into oblivion.

They go back to business.

Silly Shadow! The only counter for massed Demomen is MORE Demomen.

So, you guys basically want a class that can:

A) Kills everyone.
B) Doesn't die.
C) If it shoots someone once, they -must always- die from an after dot.
D) Does that in every possible situation, including suicide jumping in the middle of 6 opponents.

Right-o. Go super-pyro go.

The entire point of the pyro(apart from spy-checking... which is a bad Idea, no one should ever do that is to take out large clustered groups in sneak attacks. Sure, it's probably a suicide run, but they should be able to get a few kills out of it.

I think what Valve wants is that if you do this alone, you die. But if there's also a Heavy (ideally using Natasha) shooting at the group while you jump in, they're out of ammo and thus easy pickings.

Oh, hey, when did you begin describing the soldier?

Sounds about right.

Both correct if you replace DoT with fall damage.

Pyro Is Kredit To Engi!

[Tradanbattlan]

Is that official? Also, I thought the Homewrecker did that in the first place. Daaamn.

[Sensei]

That's a pretty notable balance difference, actually. Makes the homewrecker unuseless- however, you'll pretty much need the backburner to kill things.
