====Offensive Pyro====
 
====Offensive Pyro====
Run in ahead of your team and set everybody on fire so that your team can finish them off when they come in behind you.
+
As an offensive Pyro, you fall somewhere in between a medium and heavy offense class. A lack of concussion grenades makes it take longer for you to get over to the enemy base, but you trade that off for more power. Your primary goal in the enemy base is to act as heavy support: distracting and killing enemy defenders so the other, lighter classes can get through un-harmed. With enough skill and proper timing, you can easily drop multiple enemies in short periods of time. You should also try to move the flag as much as possible. You're fast and have good maneuverability with your IC jumps.
  
 
====Defensive Pyro====
 
====Defensive Pyro====
Stay near the most popular entrance and open fire on anybody that comes in.
+
The defensive Pyro does best in spots where enemies cannot easily avoid or move past him. Stay away from wide, open areas. Enemy scouts and medics will easily conc jump by you, making you pretty much worthless. Stay in areas where enemies are forced to slow down or move in a predictable route. Also, don't worry about killing them, but try to achieve at least a level 2 burn on anyone that goes by you. It will severely injure them by the time they get to the rest of the defense.
  
====Playing Against a Pyro====
+
====Fighting other Pyros====
Well, since you're both flame retardant, it's obvious that the flamethrower will do no good.
+
Since you're both flame retardant, the fight will take a little longer than usual. The flamethrower will not ignite your opponent, but it still does decent damage if you manage to keep it on him. Use your Incendiary Cannon and Shotgun at range. Use the Shotgun to damage them from long range, then use your IC to throw them around once they get close to you. Do not waste napalm grenades on other Pyros, use your regular frag grenades.
So stick to using your Incendiary Cannon and Shotgun, switch off. Use the Shotgun to damage them from long range, then use your IC to throw them around once they get close to you.
 
But, usually a single grenade will do the job.
