As Pyro K/d ratio is last stats that matters, since you can score 10 burned opponents in a row and then die 10 times easily from some sniper maggot :mrgreen:

It's funny how you can easily kill as pyro if you dont just left mouse button + W... Let me see... Ahh, you can set someone on fire and just shotgun him down or my favorite part, the axtinguisher + fire = corpse... And what i really hate to see is a pyro with flaregun. That is just soooo lame.. Only exception is that you're trying to get an achievment for flaregun...
If you are good at aiming with the flaregun it can be awesome, it can force medics to retreat and leave their team while they get health, which then means your team can spam them down. It also makes you even more powerful against scouts. Also its good against soldiers, demomen, snipers, spies...
Chances to hit a scout if he's not a nub are real low... and demomen, soldiers, snipers usually have 2-3 medics extinguishing them with medigun as does another medic... Also if you get attacked by scout you cant defend urself with flaregun but you can in most cases kill him with shotgun and shotgun is also good for dealing with soldiers and demomen, if you get close enough you can set them on fire and finish them off with shotgun and thats a preety important thing as a pyro, gave me many many kills. In the end thats only my opinion and works for me :P

Aiming with the flaregun is very much like aiming with rockets, so I suppose it comes easily for me, since hitting scouts isn't that hard when I used the flare gun. The reason I like it is because it can be pretty much infinite range and if good for defending certain points like the spire on badlands etc. Also its great for spike damage on scouts/snipers/medics/engineers far away from you (flare hit will do ~80 damage if they cant get health, which frequently happens on pubs because medics like to ignore scouts and there are a lot of people trying to get med kits.)

Rele, me and you both know that its impossible for your silly little class to dominate my big tough awesome class :mrgreen: <3

I love to play scout but its aggrevating when the medic is whoring the heavy, who's just getting hit in the face repeatedly with explosives and he aims like he's playing without a screen

Ehm the problem is that you scouts are just too fuckin' nervous! :P
I mean, a pyro burns your ass, you see a medic, you run like crazy around him shouting for medic all the time, it's not easy to catch you with the healing beam then.
Scouts have to chill more, they just have to stand still for one second...but they are sooo overexcited! :roll:

You didnt quite understand me.

I meant, heal me all the time and stay with me and uber me and stuff :lol:

Srsly now, ubercharged Scouts are way too underrated. Given the right circumstances, they can be better ubertargets than soldiers/heavies/demomen.

The flare gun can be quite annoying as medic... at least if only 1-2 medics are around and you have to drop back to fetch a medpack so that you won't get killed by some random splash damage. :(

In addition: What migu said +1. It's hard to aim the healing beam to a hyperactive scout. :ugly:

Well, in the time you get one flare in you'd get 2, maybe 3 shotgun shots. That makes the later perfect for finishing off burning enemies. The flaregun is more of a nuisance. You woun't kill anything with it unless the target is already on low health, which means that you would've killed him with the shotty anyway. Sure, I can think of some cases where it actually proves lethal and not just annoying but not enough.

I'll agree though that if you're really good at aming it it's the pyros only chance against a scout. But a sniper? No way. By the time the flare flies you'd have been headshotted, respawned and spammed E for 6 times in spawn area already.


Btw, there is nothing that pisses me off more in this game then getting killed by a pyro. :(

Not true, you dont run towards the sniper spamming flares at them xD You just do pot shots round corners before the sniper knows where you are, if you do the pot shots properly it means that the sniper only has less half a second to see you, then shoot (and get a headshot). If you get a crit flare then the sniper will most likely die, unless they camp a health pack.

Also if the person is far away, running back to get half after retreating from a fight, you can hit him with a flare just before he turns round it, meaning that if he doesn't have over 80 health he will most likely die (unless a medic heals him). Also the impact damage of the flare is 40, so if they have ~50 health they should easily die. Something a shotgun can't do, at the same range the shotgun would do 10-30 damage if your lucky ;)

I have got 5 kpd as pyro by just using flaregun/axtiguisher, and been around the mid/upper part of the scoreboard while doing it.
