why wait, the pyro can kill almost anything in about second. I used to like the class, but now the class is retardedly easy to play its just not worth it anymore. Now i don't have a problem with the new weapons. granted the only one i use is the new ax only because its a weapon you really don't need anymore since if your close enough to kill them with a ax they would have been dead already with the flamethrower. flare gun is just fun and slightly useless. It does have it's perks but i like to have the ability to have a second weapon that is good for killing. the only thing i have a problem with is the air blast. now i like the idea of reflecting projectiles and it works actually well, just take a little to get used to aiming. air blasting player now that needs to be looked at. you can air blast people away that is equivalent to about 4-5 stickies and launch people in the air about as far as a soldier can rocket jump and can keep the people juggled in the air for quite some time. use it on a medic thats ubering and you killed the uber, witch some may think thats great but now stalemates are going through the roof. Personally i think that is just a little to much.
