[url=#user_comment_37319]@Mouse[/url]: Have you seem a backburning pyro using the ax after using the backburner? It's a VERY RARE ocorrence...

I like this kid already, especially the fact that now F2P keep puffing flames at ramdom, leaving spies out of business...

But he's right.

This answer is full of win.

for the question are you in front or behind the heavy?

These are my weapons I have for my Pyro.

.Flamethrower (I love airblasting :D)
.Flare Gun
.The Homewrecker (The Fire Axe is boring and the axtinguisher is for noobs)

I don't know if anyone noticed this, but Panel three makes no sense. You can axtinguish with the backburner just fine. Perhaps she meant "Backburner sucks Lrn 2 airblast"?

TheWinrar: I'm not sure that's unusual at all. The flamethrower's damage output is kind of piddling, especially if you like airblasts.

[url=#user_comment_36135]@Chalkster[/url] I'm a bit unusual in that I use my shotgun MORE than my flamethrower. Flamethrower is for airblast, groups and retreaters.

Backburner doesn't suck, you still need to axtinguish, but I like the extra damage.

My layout is usually Backburner, Flare Gun, and Homewrecker/Fire Axe for the Pyro. I like outflanking the enemy team, waiting for them to spearhead either in offense or defense... and then ambush them from behind. As for the homewrecker... I like saving Sentries from Sappers.

I want moar Pyro.Jr :D

Why do I imagine Pyro Jr picking on a TF2 360 Pyro?

[url=#user_comment_36127]@Dave[/url] on liq and sol spy: that makes pyro jr. solidus, and end up burning in a boat with his limbs missing and mistaken as his father. All so Big Blu can kill the blu spy.

Who the hell is frank!!!

BBPyro: This is a TF2-based comic and its readership overlaps a fair bit with the Steam User's Forums. Hate is the name of the game. :(

That said, I was wondering what was with the Compression Blast hate. Spamming will (after a bit of TF2Wiki math) reflect less than a third of standard rockets.

[url=#user_comment_36153]@Kishgal[/url]: Just trying to help here. No name calling or any other internet douchebaggery. Just a little tip for next time.

@Internet Guy: The scout slapping people with a fish. That is going to be all kinds of awesome.

Looks like we have a "practical problem child"

This is way outta my territory.

[url=#user_comment_36165]@Rawr[/url]: Sneaking behind enemy lines and killing them takes no skill and is cheap , but spamming air blasting people everywhere is the hardest tactic in tf2 and isn't cheap at all. /Sarcasm

But W+1 is a legit tactic.....!

Ignoring the rest of the argument, the Backburner is not only the worst weapon, it is also the cheapest and least skilled way of killing someone. Not only do you rarely, if ever, encounter face to face combat, when you do theres only one option, making it desirable for anyone without an oz of skill

[url=#user_comment_36160]@BBPyro[/url]: and good like critical hitting 5 people from behind without anyone noticing it and survive to tell the tale

tbh, the normal flamethrower has many practical uses, such as the ability to extinguish friends on fire.

[url=#user_comment_36161]@Eric[/url]: Critical damage value of the Backburner is 472.5, not 427.5. My bad. Both answers for 3 and 4 are incorrect, and should be: 3. 1.003 seconds. 4. 0.93 seconds.

There are 4 possible answers to this problem.

1. (Heavy is being healed) 3.30 seconds.
2. (Heavy is not being healed) 2.75 seconds.
3. (Heavy is being healed, damage is from behind) 1.11 seconds.
4. (Heavy is not being healed, damage is from behind) 1.035 seconds.

Srsly, whats with the BB hate?
BB is pretty much an AOE splash backstab right now.
Good Luck Axtinguishing 5 ppl in less than 3 seconds.

Polycount winners have been announced!

I always snipe with the flare gun xD
That's why I love the huntsman so much.

[url=#user_comment_36153]@Kishgal[/url] Sure there are those jerks that just announce Jo's mistakes...but what if Sigma was just trying to help him perfect the english language? Help can come from anyone/anywhere...

@Sigma
You gotta remember that Jo is (foreigness here, I'm sorry to have forgotten) and thus doesn't have perfect English. Which should have been clear by now.

I want the Axtiguisher so much, the only item I really want and haven't ever gotten

What a lame school. PJ (pyro jr) is totally right. I suggest sending him to military school... Maybe he'll lose that silly purse-carrying habit.

About 3 seconds too long since the heavy buff, basically.

It should be "A fully overhealed heavy." You only use "an" when the next word in the sentence begins with a vowel.

LOL i got the beanie yesterday

Why is he using a pencil? I can picture him writing in charcoal. :D

And people wonder why Josue didn't use words in the first hundred or so of his comics...

(no offence, btw)

Who are these trolls?

I don't know why, but I think were gonna see GLaDOS. . .

I hope this will be a story arc. Love it :)

Yo your english sucks. Learn to speak english.

Yeah. I use the vanilla flamethrower and shotgun except for the axe, I use mr. hammer for removing sappers from engy who leaves post.

I use both weapons equally. Spammers get the air blast and I go defensive with the Backburner.

The normal Flamethrower makes offence easier with the extinguishing flame. While Backburner is good for ACTUALLY sneaking behind.

[url=#user_comment_36134]@TheWinrar[/url] Fire Axe for the win, but I can't give up my flaregun. I have no problem hitting enemies with it at medium range, and the damage fallup makes it great for picking off runners. I know the shotgun's great for lots of things, but I just can't give up my flaregun.

If you're a backburner Pyro, you might as well be playing Spy. Then you can at least kill sentries without the assistance of a medic.

And as for the axtinguisher... lrn2regularaxe

Vanilla Pyro for life.

[url=#user_comment_36102]@K[/url]: Detention for you!

The lack of trees in Nerf Now makes me cry.

'thing is, people get impressed with reflected rocks while people raeg about how much fail BB is when backburned. But look at this, if he actually successfully backburned you, wouldn't that mean he knows how to circlestrafe/ambush? And if it is noob, wouldn't that mean you are more of a noob?

Ultimatly there is nothing wrong with the back burner, it has the normal fire damage from before the update, but it has crits from behind, ultimately its an upgrade, but the normal flamethrower got the air blast... which makes you want to try and reflect things and then get killed by sentries/rokets

[url=#user_comment_36116]@Lancars[/url]: She'll have 2, liquid spy and solid spy

"an fully?"

Man, why do you do this?
If you want to keep making shitty/good comics, make it consistent. Don't throw a bunch of crap and me and then give me something gold like this. Now I have to keep reading.
(That was a compliment, by the way.)

[url=#user_comment_36102]@K[/url]: I do jackass.

BB is far more viable than axtinguisher on Heavies these days. In the time it takes to whip out the ax you're already dead, while the BB actually gives you a chance from behind. Not to mention you can drop his medic in ~.1s beforehand.
Silly Pyro Jr., this is why you go to school!

He is soooo CUTE!

I <3 Pyro Jr.

Problem, child?

Makes me wonder if Snipertan will have spies kid and drama will happen Soap Opera Style.

Ans: 15 seconds without the Medic overhealing

Blah blah, random bitching.

We get it, backburner is better for heavies, axtinguisher's better for everything else.

He did the right thing. Oh and to everyone who thinks puff 'n' sting r da lamez... Normal flamethrower makes you much more versatile, you can save your team's medics, get stickies out of the way, and stop kritz charges in their tracks.

[url=#user_comment_36102]@K[/url] Who uses the backburner? Ninja pyros that sneak by undetected and pyro mages that can teleport out of nowhere. The backburner is for pyros who play it like it was meant to be played instead of these whiny puffers that can't circle strafe a friendly sentry let alone an angry heavy.

Thats sort of ironic. The axtinguisher does have a couple flaws to it (You can only target one person) and does require skill...
...but since the backburner got upgraded, its an effective ambush style.

Some pro. Dismissing one style of play for another.

Pyro JR should get a PhD in Pyroing.

Well, it's true. Who the hell uses The Backburner?

[url=#user_comment_36099]@LaserShark[/url]: Takes about a second for Heavy to spin up and a backburner getting criticals does 472 DPS.

Pyro JR is credit to team

Trick question. You're dead in the time it takes the heavy to spin up (half a second or so), turn around (instant), and fire at you from point blank range (half a second, if that). Assuming he wasn't spun up to begin with.

Pyro Jr. is too smart for n00b school.

[url=#user_comment_36073]@Zicak[/url] wow man you realy thought of everything exept other enemy fire...but im guessing thats for TF2 highschool or somthing

[url=#user_comment_36080]@Dave[/url]: "The first mind I dove into was my father's. I could see nothing but hatred for me in his heart. My mother had died giving birth to me (she respawned). I was sure he was going to kill me. When I came to, my village was engulfed in flames. I see you have suffered the same trauma."

The question was "How many seconds blah blah," not "Does the back burner suck?" Your personal preference does not change the fact that you didn't answer the question. Silly pyro.

@Picker of Nits

Yep, the Backburner does the same damage now as it did before the nerf.

FIGHT THE POWER! GO PYRO JR!

The kid knows his stuff, I'll give him that.

Pyro JR grows up to be Psycho Mantis. Tru story.

Zicak has it down there.

ha yeah pyro jr is the best!!

There is insufficient data to answer the question. Is the Pyro attacking from the front or back? Is he attacking at point blank, or near max range where there is a slight damage penalty? Is the medic still healing the Heavy, in which case you'd have to factor in the rate of healing? lrn2quiz, teach.

@some guy: Did I miss some patch notes, or does the Backburner still do practically the same damage it did before the Aero update?

Correct answers were: "Comma, 2" or "x, 5, 2, M1, M1, M1, M1, M1, M1" or "x, 1"

Is funny because true

It depends. If you are behind him, it would take roughly 2-3 seconds. If you attempt it from the front, then you deserve 20 seconds of respawn wait.

Personally, light them up close range, air blast, and axe their face in. That or snipe with Flare Gun. Believe you me you can if you arc it well enough.

backburner's pretty good now

I would have just flare-gunned/shotgunned from a distance and ambush him later.

lol, thats how i would answer
