[quote="jettah";p="221049"]My typical solution to Pyro vs Pyro is to Airblast and run away and call for help. Most of the time the fight ends up in a near draw for me, and I really just think my "life" is better used trying to take out something I have a better chance against.
Just like when I play scout, I very rarely try to take out Sentry Guns, its just not practical.[/quote]

Other Pyro's are probably the class I kill most as a Pyro. Airblast them up and then pelt them with buckshot. The Fire Axe is a viable option as well. You don't have to worry about afterburn, and if you know he's hurt, you can usually take him down with minimal HP loss yourself.

The problem though...

I really love the flare gun... I may have to switch back to the shotgun, but I think that using the flare gun gives me at least some sense of long-range capability. The shotgun resolves me to close quarters combat only, and I think it makes me less versatile.

It could really go either way and both secondary weapons have their benefits. I am just so used to using the flare gun now.

I like using the flare gun, when you hit people with it they run. I don't really care if it doesn't kill people, as long as they go out of the fight.

So much of this is situational and all have their trade-off's which they should. As long as you are contributing to your team, I say use what you are most comfortable and have the most fun with. After all, having fun is the point :wink:
