If the Axtinguisher didn't exist, what would be the best Pyro melee in your opinion?

[[CD]Itsuki Koizumi]

I'd say the Powerjack, because nobody's going to rush a close-range class with their melee out.

Powerjack\Homewrecker for sidegrade terms

[The Last Templar (cashing out)]

Postal Pummeler LOLOLOL
But in all seriousness, you're probably right, though for defensive pyros the homewrecker might be preferred.

If the Axtinguisher never existed, neither would the Postal Pummeler.

I use the Homewrecker but that's only because I main 'Pybro' and I assist engies constantly, but I'd much prefer Axtinguisher... Other than that, would be PowerJack

Those are jokes.

back scratcher

Homewrecker, because pyro is engineer!

I know, I'm just trying to avoid spam

Anyways, the Back Scratcher would probably be the best, the downside wouldn't effect me that much since medics don't really heal me and I'm never near a dispenser. The Powerjack is also a good one.

I'd say backscratcher or homewrecker. The backscratcher is a huge help for medics, because their uber builds much faster if they have to heal you for an extended period of time. The homewrecker is great too, for dealing with minisentries, or destroying sappers on friendly buildings.

Sadly it is in majority view. Degreaser also helped making it grow its fame.
In my personal taste, it's overused and i only use it with stock or backburner

I don't think the Axtinguisher is the best Pyro melee in the first place. I always use the Backscratcher, and sometimes Neon Annihilator on maps with a lot of water.

Powerjack. Required for the +10% speed, which is *excellent*.
