Best way to take out a sentry as Pyro?

[Richard I]

I can only take it out with an uber or if it is Wrangled. (Is wrangled the correct term?)

shotgun, or circle it with a flamethrower.

Don't? Letting your team take it out is probably your best bet.

Pyro is a short range class. It isn't really the best at taking out sentries. You might be able to pick it down with your shotgun. Also, it it's around the corner, you might be able to burn it down without even trying the corner. Wrangled is the correct term btw

[When the person brings end!]

Better off just to try and pass the sentry. If you can get close without targeting you then use the flamethrower or shotgun.

Reflecting the rockets is totally a great idea.

I let them try, but half of the time I wait and do other stuff and end up having to switch to Soldier and take it out.

But the bullets keep me back.

Yeah, pyro isn't a very good class to fight sentries with.

Well in that case there really isn't much you can do, Pyro simply isn't built for sentry busting.

As house said, not a good idea to go with a pyro to destroy a sentry, anyways...
There is a lot of blind spots of a sentry and if you find them, a pyro can destroy the sentry in a very simple and fast mode, also you can make a distraction with this, leaving your team take off the sentry and all the other things near, even players.

That is all i can say for now .

get a medic on you and use rocket reflects at a distance and circling around if it's at an angle where you can get within range at a corner

otherwise you should be covering your teammates from spies and projectiles while they push in and take it out
