Initial impressions:
Airblast is cool and sending a crit rocket back into a soldier's face is sweet.
Flaregun is awesome for annoying snipers and medics from a distance.
Backburner is great, play it like you've always been playing pyro and you'll do fine, sneaking around getting airblasted so your in the backstab area and getting a huge stream of crits is the best. The 50 health boost means a pyro can take on a level 2 sentry gun by himself and of course adds another 25 hp to the pyro's overheal making him a monster.
Axtinguisher sucks bad. If they're not on fire it will take 4 hits to kill a scout (even during humilition because it doesn't crit normally), but if they are on fire it wrecks dudes. You need a buddy to make this work because you'll normally be flamethrowering the hell out of everyone and never switching, but the 25 ammo on airblast gets eaten up quick (stand next to a dispenser and flick away rockets/stickies/nades from the sentry!!) so you might get left with just your flaregun and axtinguisher for burning, but it's unlikely. |
