I'm returning to my favourite class after all.
That Flare mutation is rather sizable seeing that all my flare hits are practically long range.

Sorry Digi..

Looks like what they were trying out with the pyro didn't work for them. I never complained about the damage really, but the afterburn burned for too long after the fact.(make it 8 seconds please!)

I could hardly complain about the damage, the only think I had trouble with is that no one feared pyros anymore and demomen were unstoppable.

Was anyone else unsure whether he meant Team Fortress 2 or the Team Fortress 2 Beta?

I liked people not fearing pyros for the same reason pedophiles like children not fearing ice cream trucks.

The -20% damage on the flamethrower was too much, the +10% is a better balance. Still at 90% now but the pyro needed balancing to deal with the w+m1 technique which Valve are trying to stamp out - promote team based play by making the pyro work with the team rather than going kamikaze.

Reflects crit'ing, homewrecker unsapping, spy detection, extinguishing team mates. A team pyro I think is the change they are looking for.

Teamwork Pyros are overpowered and require even less skill than kamikaze Pyro. And it's less fun.

But yeah, flare crits are going to make me very happy.

It's called strafing, jumping, and using cover, and teamwork pyro does not require it.
