    Armour:
    Leather Helmet
    Leather Chestplate
    Leather Leggings
    Leather Boots

    Hotbar:
    Slot 1: Diamond Axe
    Slot 2: 5 steak
    Slot 3: Fireballs
    Slot 4: Flint and Steel
    Slot 8: Flag Compass
    Slot 9: Class Selector
    All slots missed have nothing in them.

    Passive Abilities:
    Permanent fire resistance.

    Active Abilities:
    • Fireballs
    Maximum 5 fireballs, regenerates once every 3 seconds. When right clicked, they shoot out in the same trajectory as a ghast fireball and explode in ~2x2x2 block explosion, setting anyone on fire for 8 seconds.
    • Flint and Steel
    Infinite uses, but a 0.5 second cooldown so flint spamming is a lot harder to do. Sets players on fire for 4 seconds.
    • Diamond Axe
    Initially, this will do 2 hearts of damage per hit. When someone's on fire, for each hit, the damage goes up by half a heart. If I hit someone a couple times while they were on fire, the 3rd time will do 3.5 hearts, for example. Its capped at 7 hearts, and resets when the player is put out.

    Just so I'm clear on this, the damage goes up 0.5 hearts with each hit while they're on fire... So if you're on fire and I hit you 5 times, you'd take 4.5 hearts of damage?

    Damage per hit.
    1st=2.5
    2nd=3
    3rd=3.5 etc
    Hitting someone 5 times would mean they take 17.5 hearts

    No longer counters chemist cappers
    No longer counters soldier cappers
    Will be brought down to low health or killed by heavies

    *gasp* LOL! This is an amazing idea! I was actually developing some Pyro ideas that we could do in our next CCC rework, and one of my ideas was something like this! I love it!

    The reason why I love it so much is because, first of all, it removes the instakill, and it also introduces so many strategies for Pyro (even Offense ones!) while still allowing it to potentially deal massive damage. Classes like ninja or soldier won't be countered as much, but if the Pyro is chasing someone, and that someone doesn't have speed or a mobility active ability, that someone will be worn down quickly, allowing the Pyro to still have a powerful Defense factor to it.

    __________________________________________________________________

    As for the other abilities, I don't really care for them that much, no offense. With some fixes, I think this Pyro could do really great. Nice job on your rework, btw!

    It'll counter both, except the pyro will actually have to do something instead of pulling back a bow, releasing it, and left clicking their opponent. Keep in mind it can do up to 7 hearts a hit, which isn't an instakill but is more than enough for a ninja to help finish them off.

    Do you think there should be more armour for pyro, so it stands more of a chance against heavies?

    4.5 hearts of damage a hit. Its less powerful than the current pyro, but is still pretty powerful (as a defence class needs to be).

    No, it doesn't counter either. You need 11 hits to get up to 7 hearts, and by the third hit the soldier or chemist will have the flag and be running out of the flagroom.

    Conceptually, it doesn't work.

    Bump - could a CTF mod/admin actually post on this?
