TF2 General Chat and Speculation Station V6 - Year of the Guard Dog SURVEY IN OP - Games

Sarcasm is not your strong-suit, I guess

I know it was sarcasm..?

i didn't think it was sarcasm but you'll just get your butt rifled/arrowed

SF2013 was such a great update, drowned in an ocean of lowtier hats.

Maybe I should've clarified: You're a pyro in melee range. Literally just hold M1.

and the sniper can literally just hold S I think you underestimate just how obscenely powerful DDS is to dragon's fury.

the DDS and the targe will almost nullify the DF's damage to a point where you'd be at a seriusly bad position if you don't meelee the sniper/demo instead. and given how a targe demo is most likely using an eyelander, chances are he'll either run away before you can deal damage to him and/or kill you with his extended range/a direct hit pill.

I met a guy in casual who thought the new panic attack's switch speed + pellet count made it a superior finishing tool once you've emptied the rocket launcher, and that everyone was sleeping on this as the next big metagame strategy. He kept dying before he could pull it out though, and eventually switched to pyro.

The Panic Attack has exactly one use, if an enemy has 94 or less hp and they are extremely close to you, and you would have died without it's faster switch speed.

The Panic Attack can be used. It has the best damage synergy with the DF, as minimal the difference between other secondaries would be. Wanna be a mobile bomber Pyro subclass? Pick TT with DF. Want to 99% wreck Scouts? Pick the Panic Attack and DF. I always try to find use for weapons. And you won't really lose anything if you take the Panic Attack with Dragon's Fury.

want to 100% wreck scouts? two shot them with the DF.

Oh god I can't go back to stock RL now that I got used to liberty launcher

And die from the Scout.

the fuck you on about? the gun shoots fast on hits. youll die 10x more trying to find PA a use.

I was talking about two shots. It's more effective to two shot with the DF and finish off with PA than three shot the Scout with DF or two shot Scout and wait for the afterburn to finish him off.

The hats made the update, there wasn't really anything else of note included. I still bristle over the notion of restrictions to this day, as that update provided some of my favorite cosmetics.

Scout dies in less than a second from afterburn if you hit the two shots in a row.

Afterburn doesn't do 25 dmg a second.

Do you even bother actually testing this shit because I do 30 + 90 = 120, I can upload a video if I have to.

Here I thought the DF's damage output wasn't notably better than the Flamethrower.

If you can hit consistent shots it does more than enough to kill most classes, hence why back when it came out everybody was freaking out that it was TOO strong.

You're kind of right, I tested this tactic recently, but looks like I was wrong. I tested it out a bit, and it seems it more does like 110-115 damage, making the Scout burn for a second or two. Still more than enough for Scouts to kill you. And still, Panic Attack won't make heal the enemy player if I shoot him while he's burning. At this point, I think we should discuss something else than Panic Attack's synergy with DF.

Did they ever buff the Detonator Jump?

Yup, they did in Gun Mettle.

Still no. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aXQJloWwF8&feature=youtu.be

Well, I have to agree that it is a very situational weapon, and it does need to be changed. I never said the weapon is well done. Doesn't still mean I can't get a killing spree with it and with the DF combined. Also, do you think we will get a bugfix patch this week? Rate Asshole for Yes and Baby for No

Some medals were confirmed as being distributed this week so chances of a patch are very high.

if your "situational scenario" is "whipping out a secondary to finish your target" then the PA is outclassed by the reserve shooter and the stock shotgun. if is "whipping out a secondary to fnish our a fleeing target" then the flares will do ten times better that job. if its "i have painted this weapon and i just want to use it" then go ahead, do so. I can get kills with the man melter and will use it to extinguish players instead of the DF's airblast anytime. doesnt mean its objetively better than the rest of the weapons.

Never doubt the TF2 team's ability to delay a patch.

Fun times will be had. Ambushing at least. I still can't time the explosion for shit.
