| The power of flamethrower and backburner are pretty close, but I mostly choose the backburner. It absolutely DESTROYS offensive pushes if you catch them off guard. The extra HP also makes it far easier to kill senties. Furthermore, you can own other Pyros with it as well.
Flamethrower + Axtenguisher is great if you go that route. Quick burst of flame + 1 axe hit is good enough to kill most classes. And lets face it; bouncing rockets back is endless fun. If they make the expansion "Reflect Rockets Fortress" I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
I really am not crazy about the flare gun. While it's nice situationally, I find the shotgun far more useful overall. |
