What game did you preorder to get that hat? :o

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning.

You get two hats and a badge I think.

Probably something horrendously broken like burn+airblast+shotgun+axetinguisher in about 2 seconds.

How is that broken?

The Degreaser's faster weapon switch with the Axtinguisher is pretty cool if you want to be an efficient killer, but Degreaser is kind of useless to me. I prefer the Backburner so I can use the Pyro as a defensive class.

>Hiding in a corner.
>Enemy runs by.
>Chase them down and get a crit on them with Backburner.

I also like to use the Powerjack, as its affects are more useful in combat to me than a faster weapon switch.

Plus when I get killed by a Pyro using Axtinguisher+Degreaser I get really annoyed for some reason, and I don't really want to be a hypocrite by using the same combo.

The Backburner is almost as derpy as the Phlogistinator.

Not really. It requires a lot of ammo to use one of the best features a flamethrower has in exchange for the crits on the back so it's pretty balanced imo.

Basically the only pyro loadouts I've seen anyone take seriously involve the Degreaser. The only times you need the extra burn damage is when you run around spraying and praying.

lol
some of you

tf2 ISN'T a serious game, stop speaking of playing 'seriously'
if it was a serious game you wouldnt be able to wear bright pink top hats

Opinions opinions.

I only defend with Pyro.

[stuntman021]

backburner isn't defensive at all, though. with the degreaser, you retain non-stuff airblast, which means you can airblast spies, airblast people off a point, deflect rockets and nades heading for your payload, clear out sticky traps, deny ubers, and deny kritz soldiers

[Mega-Bear]

Backburner can do all that. It has airblast, albeit an expensive one. But that shouldn't be a problem if you're getting kills.

[Freeze]

You know what else can do most of that stuff?

Killing them before they get the chance.

How is that broken?

Well it doesn't even play like the Pyro was meant to be since the degreaser is used to airblast and shoot/axe someone within the same second.

It's so awful it's not even fun.

^mad cause degreaser pyros dominate him

>Implying I play TF2 frequently

That's one of the reasons I stopped. Not specifically Pyro loadouts but how horribly broken the game has become.
Most classes don't play the way they were intended to, new OP weapons and no love for vanilla stuff.

Every class has a melee weapon that's a direct upgrade, no exceptions.
This is very common for medic, all his weapons are complete upgrades, minus the medigun.

Plus the economy is run by 12 year old farts who empty their mother's bank account for virtual keys for virtual hats.
