I started playing pyro because the idea of playing a class (almost) everyone hates for being "unskilled" and being a general nuisance called out to me. While I'm nowhere near good or even average, but setting the enemy player on fire and making spies suffer make me love it.
Yeah I just thought it be a fun class to main when I started playing a few days ago, especially for a trackball mouse user lol I love providing assist for some of the stronger classes/players who know what they're doing, not going for kills if I know I can't get one but at the very least weakening the enemy for other teammates to finish the job. I love running in, blasting a couple opponents in the face with fire and running back into cover if there are teammates nearby, basically sort of a scout pyro I guess Also I have fun as a 2fort sewer rat defense Pyro, helping defend the sewer entrance to the base with a couple other people and trying to take out as many with the Neon Annihlator (or again, being there to help assist by weakening any intruder and doing spy checking) as I can to really be annoying
@@3NG1N33R_PLANECRAZY its a good weapon but one unlike all other flamethrowers in both strengths and weaknesses, it melts buildings and if you can aim and track well with projectiles then you will melt your enemies too but you sacrifice anti-spy and airblast capability. I don't use it because bad aim and unreliable internet but thats me
My journey with pyro started out with the dragon's fury, as back then I generally disliked the class because I thought it didn't require aim. Over time though I started to give the other flamethrowers a chance and after seeing all the insane things you can do with airblast, I truly fell in love with the mechanic and the class itself on top of the incredible mobility of the detonator, the satisfaction of setting enemies ablaze and instantly meatshotting them with the panic attack, and the surprisingly great pair that the manmelter makes with the dragon's fury imo
I'm an airblast junky, me personally I run the det with df but manmelter is also pretty good. I don't tend to pick up new stuff very quick compared to others doing the same so it's good to see at least I'm not alone in learning with the df
Sometimes I use the det with the dragon's fury but I really like having a dual-focus in support and offense even if closing the gap is way harder without the det, although i still love using it along with the degreaser for axtinguisher gardens
@@DatsKipOmANiHaVeAch4nn3l I mostly use it to pre emptively ignite enemy gamers and occasionally for the escape, after a season of comp and a lot of casual play the det is probably the most versatile secondary item that pyro can use right now
I’d like to think I skipped a lot of these stages because whenever I pick up a new class I tend to relentlessly watch tutorials for it to expedite my learning. When I watched your flare gun and reflect videos, that stuff put me waaaay ahead and I can frequently top leaderboards. Keep up the good work man!
Im between stage 5 and 6 with 8 hours of gameplay on Pyro. I like being a pybro, I main dragons fury / stock (i switch between both depending on the enemy team and map), manmelter and homewrecker. The only reason I cant move up to stage 6 is because I really REALLY suck with airblast...
I don’t think I’d ever go full evil because I always try and spycheck and play pyro as support, but man I don’t think I’ve ever successfully reflected a rocket in my 500ish hours.
Backburner is pretty awesome in payload. You can air blast as much as you want since the cart has infinite ammo and it’s pretty easy to find mercs to kill. Pair it with the detonator and powerjack and you have one awesome flanking loadout
I’ve got over 1,700 hours in the game, and have been playing for 7 years. About 700 of those hours are as pyro. He’s my main, and watching this was absolutely spot on. Honestly felt really nostalgic watching this seeing how my time in the game progressed and how well you nailed each stage. Made me feel like I had just started the game for the first time. Amazing work!! Can’t wait to see your next videos
as a pyro main, you usually, subconsiouly pick up the firing speed and time of the direct hit, and its easy to reflect if they dont swap to shotgun/have teammates around; and a reflected crit is *the* best feeling in tf2
I'm at 430 hours so we'll see if I burnout, my hope is that I don't. I was one of those pyros that got burnt out on playing only combo pyro for so long so now I use the stock or a combination of the bb or df with the jet pack as of recently. Good quality edits as always Pirateer
This was surprisingly accurate! I have 150 hours on Pyro and I'm still so bad. 😂 I learned Degreaser combos straight away with Pyro so I never really developed game sense and instead spent a long time playing a purely defensive playstyle where I would protect engies, medics, and snipers with my combo skills. Recently I switched back to using stock flamethrower and threw in a Panic Attack too and it's been working well for me.
I have over 70, hours, I've mainly been honing my reflect skills (although I'm still quite bad) because I love helping engies. The fact that I have a strange homewrecker that counts sappers destroyed doesn't help lmao
I got a bit over 85, and more than half is me helping protect my engi's, mostly using the panic attack and stock. It's amazing how many people go at a pyro and try to run after seeing they aren't just W-M1, especially scouts, tryna work on the puff and sting, while still tryna get a degreaser. Overall, cheers in ya'll firey journey.

Please, stop while you still can! Learning how to aim and figuring out the classes with higher skill ceilings is so much more fun. Although it requires a little more effort, I'd advise you try it.
@@Vly-nn2sv just a little advice, I know what I'm talking about, and after talking to some of the best pyros in the world, it's not worth it. Makes the game less fun for yourself and others.
There's another part to the Phlogistinator stage. They might learn how to Phlog taunt cancel, and completely dominate with extremely long crits and two extra seconds of knockback invulnerability and regular invulnerability. It's really hard to do, but some Phlog pyro's can turn into fricken doomguy, and it's terrifying.
I became a pyro main when I first downloaded TF2 and clicked random. For my first 5 kills I redirected 2 rockets into a group of 5 people. Instantly fell in love with the mumbling fire retardant man and have been trying to recreate that high ever since to no avail.
As I watch this video I've realized how far I've come and how accurate this video is. Not too long ago I started messing around with the dragons fury, a weapon I used to hate using, going on uncle Dane servers and subscribing to more tf2 youtubers. It's wild how accurate this is. Thank you for this video
I remember when I started the game I was doing pyro land gaspaser contact my whole team died and I was the only one who can safe the game but then someone in the voice chat said "oh no he has the gaspasser he's doomed" and he was absolutely right cuz I had less than 10h at the time
When I was still a beginner at the game, and was starting to get the hang over pyro, I used to think that since the airblast consumed a somewhat bulky chunk off of your ammo, as opposed to the primary flames attack, it was supposed to mean that it was by itself a special attack that did more damage as opposed to the flames, but in reality it just pushes them back😂(except if you're deflecting rockets and grenades at your enemy, obviously)
I always come back to pyro when I feel like there's just too many enemies around. A little backburner ambush and that pub push is over and I can finally breathe again.
Engie and future pyro main here when i got burnout from engie i searched up on yt about pyro it got interesting when i came across ur channel well now i play engie and pyro so thanls dude
im currently in "The decision" stage! I started as a combo pyro, but i sometimes get frustrated at flaregun being quite hard after the airblast changes and get RLY frustrated at reflecting because of the new flames particles not letting me see shit.... On the other hand, the phlog+deto pyro is rly fun to me aswell, but not just to w+m1 (i rly dislike dying, so im always very careful), i been improving my movement so i can put as much damage with m1 as i can/surfing a rocket to escape or "airstrafe+m1¿" without dying. AND THEN try this lovely "Phlog cancel" thing ive recently learned as much as i can (AND NO, I ALMOST NEVER HAVE A POCKETMED FRIEND). Lovely video, thanks alot!
Pyro threads the line between a heavy and a scout. High sustained dammage and great for moping up weakened enemies. The unsuspecting part of the pyro is that he can airblast while shooting flames. It really surprises the enemy when a pyro does that.
I picked up pyro because he was the only one I could reasonably do well with on my potato pc. 30 hours of gameplay later I've lowered all my graphics settings and installed an fps config, and things are acceptable for me to play other classes. Depsite this I pretty much cycle between Solider, Engineer and Pyro. I currently use the Dragon's Fury, Scorch Shot, and the Axetinguisher reskin (like a mailbox, I can't remember the name). I haven't gotten trash talked too much for using the scorch shot, but I feel bad using it sometimes.
pretty cool how pyro succeeds at his original purpose. I heard in team fortress (the quake mod) pyro was added for people with high ping so that they were still able to be helpful
play pyro > team yells at me bc we need a medic > switch to medic > get yelled at bc we need a pyro > yell at team that maybe THEY are the incompetent ones > get votekicked > restart the cycle
my journey with pyro started out with scorchshot axtinguisher combos, and then i discovered the flare gun and haven't looked back lol, the flare gun combo and reflects are some of the most satisfying things in the game
I am a proud phlog pyro. I will use the degreaser every now and then, but the fun when you mass clear a tight room full of the enemy team is fun. As for Pyro being W+M1. Heavy is also W+M1, Demo is W+M2+M1 Soldier is also W+M1 Medic is W+M1 with the medigun Spy is well spy Snipers are cowards Scouts are annoying little shits
I ended up switching to medic as my main while I was in a transitional period between phase 2 and phase 3. Still, pyro is one of my favorite classes thanks to his wide array of support capabilities.
@@theshade0038 I am a Medic main that sometimes switches to Scout and I tell you, if you ever feel like trying another class, go for it! Some games don't need Medics I've found, and sometimes end up benefiting from other classes a lot more
I was always drawn to Pyro due to my general inability to aim in most shooters, but honestly, what really hooked me was when I watched LazyPurple’s “How it FEELS to play pyro” and discovered airblast. Finding out that there was a class that could REFLECT ROCKETS was when I truly knew who I would main when I finally got the game.
when i started i played pyro bc i like fire, and i started by doing setting my eneimes on fire and then using the shotgun to finish them off while they are burning, i wonderd why other pyros didn't do it as it is more effective than just using only the flamethrower
i've been watching tf2 videos for like 9ish years now, but only have 20ish hours on the game, happy to say with only 12-13hours on pyro, I'm happy sitting at around stage 7(but started out as a W+m1 phlog. it got to the point in named my phlog "W+m1")
My favorite shotgun is definitely the panic attack and also I hate the squirt shot and also I’m a pyramid with just over 20 hours and I use the degreaser
Seems so accurate!The only part I think was inaccurate was how they stop W+M1+M2 at stage 7 as I learnt combo pyro(Shotgun secondary,not flare or detonator) on stage 3.
I gravitated towards 4 classes when I first played. Demo, Engi, Pyro, and Medic. However I always felt like I wasn't doing very good as Pyro. And after buying all the weapons (on marketplace, not the TF2 store luckily) I realized how versatile he was. But sadly stuck to Phlog, I did however LOVE the flare gun. Actually got decently good with it. But never resisted braindead MMMPH. But then I stumbled onto pybro. I grabbed the wrecker and started protecting engis. Spy checking and removing sappers. Then realized how powerless I was against soldier. So I went back to stock and started practicing airblast. Now I'm practicing that along with degreaser combos. While every class has nuances and important skills. Pyro has such a wide variety of playstyles and niches. I wanna prove he isn't just a w + m1 easy kill.
I’m creeping up on 200 hours on the class, and stage 7 is pretty accurate. I love the degreaser and panic attack, but I’ve recently tried out the flare gun. It’s fun and all, but it’s a pain in the ass to fight other pyros, and I never hit the same high that I do with the panic attack. I experiment here or there, but I always end up going back to my go-to. Great vid
There was this one time when I was playing pyro, I got ubered, surfed some knockback (this was on badwater), landed right next to the payload cart and killed everybody.
I've reached stage 10 a year or so ago and to keep the game fun i take long breaks (2-3 months) to get rid of my muscle memory and when i come back i go to whatever i want and eventualy start pubstomping again. Thanks for making this video, i was waiting for someone to make this because WAMO just like... exists... Keep it up champ. Edit: Fun loadout: Dragon's Fury, stock shotgun and backscratcher.
I just started playing TF2 the other day. I literally just tried out each class and narrowed down to my favorite in each role. Pyro was by far my favorite of the attackers, and even though players hate him, I’m excited to learn more with Pyro and, ultimately, the game in general
Its been such a long time since I last played tf2, I just got this as a notification and watched it, and while I might not play tf2 as much as I used too, Ill always remember the time when I honest to god wanted to be the best pyro player there is. Thanks Pirateer, for helping me relive those memories, even if its for a short while.
I remember my phlog stage, I started using the flaregun and degreaser afterwords, but the axetinguisher can go BURN IN HIT REGISTRATION HELL. (I still use phlog lmao)
I started quite before THE degreaser nerf and THE axetinguisher nerf (don't quite remember the year now) but I've gone through only two of the stages you listed... I know it's not a serious generalization, but still... I picked up the class specifically for the amount of possible combos... As soon as I unlocked the degreaser, flaregun and axetinguisher, I equipped them and began training to combo with them, eventually alternating them with more niche or more powerful secondary weapons after mastering them, while training airblasting in airblast servers...
I think I was on stage 6 when I quit. Now when I came back for 2 weeks I just get sad cuz I can’t airblast for shit anymore. Demomans don’t fear me no more ;-;
over the few months i've been maining pyro, i come back to this video here and there to see my progress. it's legitimately a good measurement to make me not lose motivation and know i'm improving.
@@JaxontheOkay in rare occasions when a casual server is bot free there's always rotten apples in for of pyros, who ruin all the fun. Good snipers and scouts can ruin fun too, but at least it takes skill, effort and time to get good at sniper and scout
I’m thinking of getting into tf2 but I feel like it’s so far in the games life and I don’t know where to start, should I just download the game and q into casual?
watching a pyro main grow up is like watching a baby take it's first steps but then go back to crawling, which is to be expected from a baby, but it never evolves past crawling, and stays crawling through the 20s, 30s, eventually even 40s.

Nah pyro is a good class

@@TruthWizardTemplar7 pyro is a monster if u know when to time airblast and know to use secondaries

On the other hand, the phlog+deto pyro is rly fun to me aswell, but not just to w+m1 (i rly dislike dying, so im always very careful), i been improving my movement so i can put as much damage with m1 as i can/surfing a rocket to escape or "airstrafe+m1¿" without dying. AND THEN try this lovely "Phlog cancel" thing ive recently learned as much as i can (AND NO, I ALMOST NEVER HAVE A POCKETMED FRIEND). Lovely video, thanks alot!
4:04 did he just dabbed
Yepped
Pyro threads the line between a heavy and a scout. High sustained dammage and great for moping up weakened enemies. The unsuspecting part of the pyro is that he can airblast while shooting flames. It really surprises the enemy when a pyro does that.
I picked up pyro because he was the only one I could reasonably do well with on my potato pc. 30 hours of gameplay later I've lowered all my graphics settings and installed an fps config, and things are acceptable for me to play other classes. Depsite this I pretty much cycle between Solider, Engineer and Pyro. I currently use the Dragon's Fury, Scorch Shot, and the Axetinguisher reskin (like a mailbox, I can't remember the name). I haven't gotten trash talked too much for using the scorch shot, but I feel bad using it sometimes.
postal pummeler is cool
Im pretty sure it would run better at max settings bro, i tried low settings and it fucked my framerate then i maxed them out and it runs better
@@DFFilmmaker I play on a chromebook, it would probably explode if I played on max
@@PistolSlinginMothMan i play on a lenovo laptop bruh
pretty cool how pyro succeeds at his original purpose. I heard in team fortress (the quake mod) pyro was added for people with high ping so that they were still able to be helpful
This video made me realize that I have a long way to go before getting good (less than 20 hrs)
Thank you for making this video! ⭐
The only other guy who did this was WAMO and well... I don't think he passed stage 2...
YES YES YES, ANOTHER VIDEO THANKS MAN I ALWAYS LOVE UR VIDEOS :D
You forgot the part where they become furries
How tf did you know
They don't *become* furries, they always were
:3
I don’t remember that happening to me
@@marbulOfficialSelf roast lol😊
@@xternalrage2924 I mean I am a furry so it's not that big of a deal if I joke about it OwO
play pyro > team yells at me bc we need a medic > switch to medic > get yelled at bc we need a pyro > yell at team that maybe THEY are the incompetent ones > get votekicked > restart the cycle
Not ashamed to say the Phlogistinator is my favourite weapon in the game for reasons I can't describe
@slivervibes silvervider Yes.
Finally a proper pyro 10 stages vid!
Did you remix the music too? The dedication!
my journey with pyro started out with scorchshot axtinguisher combos, and then i discovered the flare gun and haven't looked back lol, the flare gun combo and reflects are some of the most satisfying things in the game
I am a proud phlog pyro.
I will use the degreaser every now and then, but the fun when you mass clear a tight room full of the enemy team is fun.
As for Pyro being W+M1.
Heavy is also W+M1,
Demo is W+M2+M1
Soldier is also W+M1
Medic is W+M1 with the medigun
Spy is well spy
Snipers are cowards
Scouts are annoying little shits
🤓
how do you do m1, what even is it?
@@SolarFlare9714 m1 is just mouse 1, left click button on your mouse, generically the button used to fire your weapon
@@zacharybartlett7677 thank you
Dear lord that footage for the final stage... Beautiful and disguuuusting. Great video.
I ended up switching to medic as my main while I was in a transitional period between phase 2 and phase 3. Still, pyro is one of my favorite classes thanks to his wide array of support capabilities.
I always want to play pyro, but no one on the team picks medic ;-;
@@theshade0038 I am a Medic main that sometimes switches to Scout and I tell you, if you ever feel like trying another class, go for it! Some games don't need Medics I've found, and sometimes end up benefiting from other classes a lot more
@@kassiaactuallydraws9361 sadly, i suck with every class i play, my second main is Pyro, and i suck even with him
@@theshade0038 Felt that. Dw man, I suck as well, but there's no better way to improve than by trying!
@@kassiaactuallydraws9361 i have almost 1.6k hours :(
At this point, i think i cant improve anymore
It is finally here the day I have been waiting for! Cheers to you mate for making this absolute banger of a video. Much love (platonically)

I was always drawn to Pyro due to my general inability to aim in most shooters, but honestly, what really hooked me was when I watched LazyPurple’s “How it FEELS to play pyro” and discovered airblast. Finding out that there was a class that could REFLECT ROCKETS was when I truly knew who I would main when I finally got the game.
11:30 this clip where the soldier follows the pyro down with intent to kill but is willing to play rock paper scissors with him is just wholesome
LMAooooo i love how i also have that pyro haduken dab mod installed haha
on a serious note, this video is really wellmade, good job!
when i started i played pyro bc i like fire, and i started by doing setting my eneimes on fire and then using the shotgun to finish them off while they are burning, i wonderd why other pyros didn't do it as it is more effective than just using only the flamethrower
Damn, I’m a new Pyro main (only 2 hours) and this video made me feel awesome about my pyro skills, thanks
I did I Huntsman arrow reflect I can never not try again I did not know you could but now I am starting to like Pyro
2:50 respect to the man-melter for taking the shot
i've been watching tf2 videos for like 9ish years now, but only have 20ish hours on the game, happy to say with only 12-13hours on pyro, I'm happy sitting at around stage 7(but started out as a W+m1 phlog. it got to the point in named my phlog "W+m1")
The PMD gang appreciates your choice of background music for stage 10. Very cool.
My favorite shotgun is definitely the panic attack and also I hate the squirt shot and also I’m a pyramid with just over 20 hours and I use the degreaser
Pmd2 time gear theme. Love this game so much! Glad Pirateer does as well
I've seen many type of this videos, but seriously this is the best one
Seems so accurate!The only part I think was inaccurate was how they stop W+M1+M2 at stage 7 as I learnt combo pyro(Shotgun secondary,not flare or detonator) on stage 3.
I gravitated towards 4 classes when I first played. Demo, Engi, Pyro, and Medic. However I always felt like I wasn't doing very good as Pyro. And after buying all the weapons (on marketplace, not the TF2 store luckily) I realized how versatile he was. But sadly stuck to Phlog, I did however LOVE the flare gun. Actually got decently good with it. But never resisted braindead MMMPH. But then I stumbled onto pybro. I grabbed the wrecker and started protecting engis. Spy checking and removing sappers. Then realized how powerless I was against soldier. So I went back to stock and started practicing airblast. Now I'm practicing that along with degreaser combos. While every class has nuances and important skills. Pyro has such a wide variety of playstyles and niches. I wanna prove he isn't just a w + m1 easy kill.
As a Pyro main, i can confirm that at the stage i'm at, everything is correct
Glad we got someone to continue the series. Great video. I'll send Hamaji the video to see what he thinks
this is actually a lot better then wamo’s video on the 10 stages of pyro. I recently hit 300hrs on pyro and this is pretty accurate.
This was just awesome! Thanks a lot!
I have 50h of playing pyro and all I just can say I somehow jumped from a stage 5 back to stage 4 and can't leave it no matter what.
I’m creeping up on 200 hours on the class, and stage 7 is pretty accurate. I love the degreaser and panic attack, but I’ve recently tried out the flare gun. It’s fun and all, but it’s a pain in the ass to fight other pyros, and I never hit the same high that I do with the panic attack. I experiment here or there, but I always end up going back to my go-to. Great vid
There was this one time when I was playing pyro, I got ubered, surfed some knockback (this was on badwater), landed right next to the payload cart and killed everybody.
Finnaly acctualy well made video made by someone who acctualy understands the class, the complete opossite of the 2 count em 2 videos that wamo made
I'm happy there is finally a good 10 stages of a pyro main video.
I have 22 hours on pyro but play like stage 3
I can't aim with fury
Oh wait it's actually what is supposed to happen
I can't speak for everyone, but it sure as hell did not take me 20 hours to learn how to reflect projectiles.
It's like a beautiful butterfly
the phlog phase is the most accuracte thing ive ever heard lmao
I've reached stage 10 a year or so ago and to keep the game fun i take long breaks (2-3 months) to get rid of my muscle memory and when i come back i go to whatever i want and eventualy start pubstomping again.
Thanks for making this video, i was waiting for someone to make this because WAMO just like... exists...
Keep it up champ.
Edit: Fun loadout: Dragon's Fury, stock shotgun and backscratcher.
I just started playing TF2 the other day. I literally just tried out each class and narrowed down to my favorite in each role. Pyro was by far my favorite of the attackers, and even though players hate him, I’m excited to learn more with Pyro and, ultimately, the game in general
Its been such a long time since I last played tf2, I just got this as a notification and watched it, and while I might not play tf2 as much as I used too, Ill always remember the time when I honest to god wanted to be the best pyro player there is.
Thanks Pirateer, for helping me relive those memories, even if its for a short while.
I remember my phlog stage, I started using the flaregun and degreaser afterwords, but the axetinguisher can go BURN IN HIT REGISTRATION HELL. (I still use phlog lmao)
I started quite before THE degreaser nerf and THE axetinguisher nerf (don't quite remember the year now) but I've gone through only two of the stages you listed... I know it's not a serious generalization, but still... I picked up the class specifically for the amount of possible combos... As soon as I unlocked the degreaser, flaregun and axetinguisher, I equipped them and began training to combo with them, eventually alternating them with more niche or more powerful secondary weapons after mastering them, while training airblasting in airblast servers...
Informative! And also funny.
I want to master every class eventually, but Pyro as a character is such a freakin' weirdo, and thus my favorite.
yoooooo im the engie with the crit hiding around the corner!! also subscribed!
I think I was on stage 6 when I quit. Now when I came back for 2 weeks I just get sad cuz I can’t airblast for shit anymore. Demomans don’t fear me no more ;-;
I always say "I'm doing my job!" When an enemy spy is just not quite understanding my role.
i love how every different channel that does this kind of video has the same music and composition every time
We cant forget a secret hidden stage. When the pyro main pays for art of their new fursona
As a Pyro main I've wanted this for so long...
over the few months i've been maining pyro, i come back to this video here and there to see my progress. it's legitimately a good measurement to make me not lose motivation and know i'm improving.
Improving on being the cancer of tf2?
@@yaeblan1488 think there's worse things in tf2 at the moment than people who play pyro
@@JaxontheOkay in rare occasions when a casual server is bot free there's always rotten apples in for of pyros, who ruin all the fun. Good snipers and scouts can ruin fun too, but at least it takes skill, effort and time to get good at sniper and scout
@@yaeblan1488so how are you enjoying now that it's bot free
I’m thinking of getting into tf2 but I feel like it’s so far in the games life and I don’t know where to start, should I just download the game and q into casual?
yes, it'll be around for several years at least, and lots of beginner-friendly community servers
@@Pirateer5 thanks, I’ll download it today and hop in.
watching a pyro main grow up is like watching a baby take it's first steps but then go back to crawling, which is to be expected from a baby, but it never evolves past crawling, and stays crawling through the 20s, 30s, eventually even 40s.
