Does anyone know a good use scorch would have, besides jumps? Does anyone in the thread think it will get a buff soon? (to make it have better uses.)
Honestly if you want to do jumps you should be using the Detonator. It's the true Pyro mobility tool. Scorch can still do some nifty jumps, but they're a lot harder to do, and it's more limited in general in terms of mobility.
Scorch Shot's good for applying AoE burn (especially useful with Phlogistinator), knocking back from range (read: blocking ubers from outside airblast range), denying people from standing on elevated points like Gravelpit C or Badlands spire, and if you're really good with it, you can scorch people out of flamethrower range into a wall, airblast them before they can start moving again, effectively allowing for a mid-range axtinguish setup.
It probably will get buffed though, but I'm sure it'll be a month or three before that happens at least. It's better than the Manmelter, at least.
