Talk:Pyro strategy

Sentries

This is completely anecdotal, but I've found that sentries seem to turn slower when being flamed with the flamethrower. Rushing and circle-strafing a Level III sentry is fully possible, I've done it several times.

Is this just imagination, or is it an actual mechanic in the game? If so, does damage in general make it slower, or is it just the flamethrower?

I didn't want to add this to the article because it's just one person's experience. --Joffeloff 17:19, 27 December 2007 (CST)

Interesting point, I have noticed its easier to circle strafe a sentry with the Pyro as well. Although I have noticed it is also easier with other classes not just the Pyro; Medic and Scout both seem to be able to do this quite well. I wondered if it was because of the proximity, the closer you get to a sentry, the slower it seems to respond so maybe when people play these classes they tend to surprise the sentry, attack it from behind or the side? Incidentally, this doesn't seem to apply to the Spy. It maybe just a perceptual thing like you mentioned, however I too would be interested in the results of some testing on this. --Aurora 02:45, 28 December 2007 (CST)

Added Well ambush strategy.

I've added an ambush strategy for Pyros playing on Well. It's not particularly class specific so feel free to add it to general strategies for Well.I can't be bothered to do it myself tonight.
