CecilyLovesYou<3™ Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 So which one do you prefer still, after the Gun Mettle update?Stats for the Powerjack currently: When weapon is active: +15% faster movement speed on wearer +25 hp restored on kill 20% damage vulnerability on wearer For the axtinguisher: 100% critical hits from burning players from behind Mini-crits burning players from the front No random critical hits -50% damage vs non-burning players So what are your thoughts on this? Which one do you still prefer on using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuuko-San Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Unneeded nerf, lmao. Pyro and Heavy needed buffs if anything. Glad heavy got some love Hard to say without testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ǍгᴋᴀɴД ₭ɪлʛ Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The speed bonus on the Powerjack still make it a useful weapon. The health benefit was just too much IMO & glad it was lowered. I don't understand Valve's moderation for the Pyro though. Continuously nerfing him when 'competitively speaking" doesn't have good uses anyway & give classes afterburn immunity weapons + secondaries to remove it (secondaries are fine but the Spy-cicle 10 second immunity practically make spychecking virtual impossible so I can't really see a lot going for the Pyro now) I kind of get the impression that maybe they don't want the Pyro to be used in competitive gameplay? I'm still mad random crits are still in the game >:'/ Unneeded nerf, lmao. Pyro and Heavy needed buffs if anything. Glad heavy got some love They really should add a class limit. Too many servers I joined just had heavies left & right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budi Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 After the huge Axtinguisher nerf to only minicrit from behind, the Powerjack was the logical choice. It was all about the speed boost, and the 75 health was justified for the damage increase taken. Now with only 25 health I don't know if it's worth it. I might go back to the Axtinguisher.

3.50 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'll use whichever one gets buffed so it can remove sappers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apo Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I only ever used the PJ to run fast. This nerf doesn't affect me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ver Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 40 hp instead of 25 hp would have been a more logical change imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Recluse Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Lol, pyro needing a buff, are you insane? No, he probably just doesn't play on 24/7 Dustbowl or 2fort or whatever servers against people with 80 hours. A pyro's job in Highlander is to blast back ubers, reflect projectiles, look for spies, and if your engie is running level 3s the remove sappers. Being able to extinguish teammates isn't even super valuable because it's unlikely your teammates are charging straight at a pyro which is the only way a pyro can really inflict damage. The 2011 W M1 pyro is now the W M2 pyro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2011 W M1 pyro is now the W M2 pyro. Highlander is a joke, lol. Regardless, pyro has access to airblast, which in its current state is terribly broken. Not to mention literally all of his secondaries besides stock have some silly crit gimmick. Taking away the ability to kill someone with melee and get an absurd 75 fucking health was called for. Besides, the detonator got a buff, enjoy the fact that they made the most broken class better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner the Original Scout™ Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The Powerjack NEEDED the nerf. What DOES need a nerf is the new Scorch Shot. It's a F2P's dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmca Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The Powerjack NEEDED the nerf. What DOES need a nerf is the new Scorch Shot. It's a F2P's dream. I want to test the new scorch shot, it seemed to good to be true. @Cecily, I will still use powerjack because when I'm that close to an enemy I just prefer to have my flamer out anyway.

Discovery Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Who uses Secondary and Melee weapons anyway? #WM1MasterRace Unnecessary nerf, but I almost never use it nor the Axe anyway. Still prefer the Axe though. That's so sad, It's funny That's so sad, it's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
