> And what if pyro is an offense class? What does he need then?

SPAGHETTIsponge commented on issue fortressforever/fortressforever#270 ('WIP: Pyro revamp'):

Dear God, please don't rework this class to be, "offensive". I would be beyond sad if afterburn and everything that what makes the Pyro to be a true pyromaniac be nerfed or even removed, which is what makes this game far more enjoyable than TF2. Pyro already feels a little underpowered compared to...

You know what though, imo, the only things that make the pyro fun for a select few, is exactly what makes it not fun for everyone else. Because no matter how much skill you can put into the class, it's always aided by some exceptionally skill-less mechanics. Playing against a constant firing hitbox...

Pyro isn't "supposed to be" anything; that's entirely subjective. That said, we do want pyro to be pretty good against heavy classes. We might not get the balance quite right...

ax-rwnd commented on issue fortressforever/fortressforever#270 ('WIP: Pyro revamp'):

Can't say I'm too happy about the jetpack change. From what I've gathered, the new pyro will work more or less like a scout or a medic, except it won't have concs but a (somewhat slower?) jetpack. I'm not sure that defense evasion is a niche that needs more filling--the scouts and medics avoid the...
