Give me a couple good reasons why any flamethrower is better than the degreaser?
And obviously the back scratcher comment was directed at Timez... lol
Backburner; Kills stupid fast from behind. Occupied Heavy Medic combos won't see it coming, and it takes less time than the airblast and Axtinguisher chop.
Phlogistinator; Can clear a point/area if the Pyro doesn't run at it from out in the open like an idiot.
Stock; Doesn't have an afterburn damage penalty. That can really make a difference if the enemy is low and can't find health.
