Good Pyro loadouts?

[Obi-Wan Cannoli]

I've come up with a standard few to use and I just wanted to hear your opinions and maybe see what your loadouts are.
1. Degreaser/Shotgun/Axtinguisher
Degreaser/Axtinguisher for obvious reasons, shotty for dealing with other Pyros.
2. Degreaser/Flare Gun/Powerjack
Wear Attendant for set bonus, flare gun because it has burst damage almost as good as the Axtinguisher's
3. Backburner/Manmelter/Back Scratcher
I mainly use this when I just want to troll people or just as a roaming Pyro, but you need to be within certain bounds. Backburner for crits, Manmelter for a free way to extinguish allies without chewing through a quarter of my ammo, Back Scratcher for dealing with other Pyros.

I use Detonator with the Attendant set for a lot of mobility. You move fast, and detonator jump. Thanks to this mobility, heath lost from detonator jumping can easily be regained from the powerjack. Detonator also works well on far away targets and sentries if your timing and aim is right. It also still gets 45 on burning targets, wearing someone down enough for you to get some health back with the powerjack.

Default Flamethrower, Scorch Shot, & Conscientious Objector.

Sign crits like crazy, default is most balanced, and Scorch Shot can ignite more than one enemy, and provide knockback. You have to think more than just instant kills (axtinguisher)

Most melees for pyro are situational, but I usually utilize the loadouts the most.
My loadout 1:
Default Flamethrower
Usually shotgun or scorch shot
Any melee, usually use the powerjack or homewrecker

Loadout 2: Defensive/Ambush
Backburner
Flare gun or shotgun
homewrecker or neon annihilator [usually homewrecker because it 1 shots sappers, while the NA takes 2 hits]

Ladout 3: Pyroland
Rainblower
usually scorch shot or shotgun
Lollichop

Loadout 4: Sweeper [useful with uber medics while on defense]
Phlogistinator
Mannmelter
Third Degree
I rarely use this since I don't really play many attack/defense maps with medics, but it proves useful

I generally avoid the degreaser because I feel really cheap insta pulling out my melee to kill someone. I have zero respect for the pyros who use degreaser + axtinguisher + reserve shooter. It's really a pathetically cheap combination.

I almost always use this:
Degreaser/Reserve Shooter/Postal Plummer
Ultra fast weapon switch + Mini Crit damage from RS + Insta Kill from PP

Would you get a heart attack if I say
Degreaser, Flaregun, Volcano Fragment?

Hey, at least it's less effective on pyros

As if I'd care about that...

[Octavia]

Personally, I use either the Degreaser or Stock Flamethrower as my primary, mainly the Degreaser due to the rapid weapon switch, along with the Detonator for supportive ignitions and the Homewrecker for Engineer support. I play Pyro in a defensive sort of way, attempting to reflect projectiles, ignite key targets and defend the front line; if we have no Engineer and no Medic, I tend to swap the Homewrecker out for the Backscratcher, purely to obtain more benefit from Health Packs with little disadvantage.

I'm not a Pyro who uses exclusively his Flames, so I do try and Airblast projectiles or players to improve my Detonator aim; I've been killed because of it at times, but it does make me feel better about the kills I get. I'm certain I could demolish people relatively easy by using a traditional Degreaser and Axtinguisher combo, but I'd much rather learn how to use said combo with the Flamethrower, which would allow me to inflict more Afterburn damage and improve my timing, possibly even prediction, for my Airblasts.
