19:27 Good news, it got fixed today! Both the projectile collision bug, and the bounding box bug.

[@breather8758]

Nice!

[@triggerhurt]

hi, i made the plugin that shounic used in that video to show where the bounding boxes of a few specific entities are (and informed him heavily as to the exact behavior of it, as has seemingly become standard with his videos, not that i mind since he can usually explain what i mean to the general public better than i can). the tragic thing about that collision bug is how easy it would be for valve to fix it. i can't exactly speak on behalf of the dragon's fury projectile SPECIFICALLY because the source code leak is out of date in that regard, but for the wrap assassin specifically, all it really involves is doing the check that the sandman does to only allow it to "touch" players. this will take a minute to explain but it should make sense by the end of it: physical entities in source have two different functions for determining whether or not a collision with another entity (including the map itself) happened, those being a custom "Touch" function and a function called "VPhysicsCollision". the "Touch" function is very cheap compared to the VPhysicsCollision function, since it only compares bounding boxes. entities in the source engine can inherit and run functions from other entity classes, and the wrap assassin's stunball entity inherits directly from the sandman's stunball entity. the key difference here is that the wrap assassin stun ball has a custom "Touch" function that is almost identical to the sandman stun ball's touch function, except the sandman ball's "Touch" function does one extra check that the wrap assassin does not: it only "touches" bounding boxes belonging to PLAYERS. the wrap assassin does not have this check, and decides to just explode when it touches literally ANY bounding box for any solid object. the best part is that the wrap assassin literally has the necessary code to make it explode whenever it touches something physically via its VPhysicsCollision function, but the "Touch" function will almost 100% of the time run before the VPhysicsCollision function due to the bounding box encompassing the entire physical mesh of those map elements. in short: if the wrap assassin could only "Touch" players, and relegated any other kind of explosion to its existing physics collision function, we wouldn't have a problem. funnily enough, pipebombs do exactly this, except they don't explode on contact when they touch map elements (well, unless it's the loch n load i guess). but what do i know, i just write plugins.

This weapon is my jam. Combo Pyro is my go-to when using any other flamethrower because I need the big numbers and burst damage. Whenever I want to play Pyro on offense, I automatically go to this thing, the sheer destruction against Engineer buildings is insane and piercing through enemies to get those multi-hit mini-crits is way more fun than using the Machina to get collaterals. Also, I feel like with the center-mass shots mechanic they added in Blue Moon, it's similar enough to a shotgun that I feel like I'm getting better at my shotgun aim by using it. Not to mention how well it pairs with the Detonator, which is my jam as far as Pyro secondaries go. I feel like it was a weapon made for me.

[@Mantafirefly]

It's pretty great there for tankbusting since you always get the full damage on tanks, and it has a range long enough for the fireball to go out the other side and still hit something while you're safe from their attacks. The extra range lets you also operate just that little bit more safely from the big guys too while piling on the damage. I kinda wish there was more upgrades to spend money on for it, but honestly with all damage and healing upgrades you'd just spend the rest on resistances since you're a pyro and need that.

In my experience on the other side of the Flamethrower vs Dragon's Fury matchup, I feel like it's kinda the opposite of what was said here. If you're good at predictive airblasts (AKA: Guessing good) then you can significantly hamper the dragon's fury's ability to do damage to you. It's reliance on being able to hit you a second time while you're burning to get it's burst in means that an airblasted fireball sets you right back down to zero, or even worse if you just happen to be standing in some flame particles when that fireball gets reflected.

Hilariously, the Volcano Fragment is great with this weapon if you can ambush enemies from behind. Just hit them once with the melee and blast away. Seriously, it's a ton of fun.

Thank you so much for making this video, I’ve always loved the dragons fury but I’ve never really known how to use it properly, and I’ve been looking for alternative styles of play for my main, thanks zesty

[@arlwiss5110]

I'm in awe. Your best production, by far. The fact you're pretty much entirely happy with the subject of discussion also helps lol. Keep it up!

[@JoJosloes]

I think that pyro is always a subclass of something, so most pyro mains feal like it's a sub sub class.

[@StarlightMagician]

As Paladins Drogoz would say: "Behold, THE DRAGON'S FURY!!!"

[@LARAUJO_0]

The video's great (as per usual) and all but I can't get over how *amazing* the intro and outro are

[@42dusk45]

I've been running it with man melter and had a lot of fun

[@thrillhouse4151]

Wow I didn’t know this existed, shows how long it’s been since I played, seems awesome!

15:41 the way you synced with the gameplay in the background is just beautiful

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the editing on Zesty’s videos? It’s actually incredible

[@Suzumi-kun]

guess pyro finally actually fits in the offensive category

Guess pyro can actually be fun now

[@mikemed1978]

This episode’s intro is so goddamn good. The video is great as always!

[@evdestroy5304]

That base damage thing explains why it's so good at destroying buildings

[@OccuredJakub12]

An interesting idea for DF would be that the airblast is a continuous stream of wind instead of a burst. So, it wouldn't be able to reflect projectiles and it wouldn't push players in one nice burst, only slightly push them away continuously. It'd be a bit better for saving burning teammates but generally it would be a nerf that kinda makes sense. It's like this is a reverse flamethrower: instead of continuous fire and a burst of air, you get a burst of fire and continuous air.

[@soitscitrus25]

I think that the dragons fury is great for taking down high health classes and can reward players with aiming. I think it’s a bit of an underrated weapon.

[@benjoffe948]

And it's also a projectile nearly twice as fast as the *direct hit* of all things. ZOOMIN, wow.

[@weirdeadz]

“Mann’s Guide to the Dragon’s Fury”

[@CowKirbo]

So the dragon's fury is just a better flamethrower but requires at least some aim

[@sgas]

Someone talked about the panic attack being able to shoot inbetween your dragon furys firing cooldown, making for a crazy combo

[@ipv6tf2]

This was a very entertaining and engaging video, thank you! There wasn’t any mention in about using this in MVM but since MVM is about crowd control, people should consider this weapon instead of harshly suggesting (under threat of votekick) the Phlog

[@TheMilkshakeMarxist]

WHY IS THERE NO STRANGIFIER FOR THIS GOD DAMMIT

[@106die]

So glad someone is finally giving this the time it deserves any of my friends I got to use it dropped it after the "nerf" of having to hit dead centre with the shot

[@ironicorca9743]

Remember that the best weapon to combo with the Dragon's Fury is... Yea, it's the Scorch Sh1t, but not because it would light people on fire at a significantly higher rate than the Detonator, you want to use this thing along with the Scorch Sh1t mostly because a direct hit of that nasty weapon has this knockback that makes it easier to land the first shot on the enemy gamers, hell, if you're fast enough the knockback it has makes even easier to aim directly at their feet, so you can technically lock em on the air and hit shots with ease.

[@Clockdrive]

Yeah but man that degreaser-panic attack switch speed, delicious

[@ramleydude456]

I just thought of a concept for reworking the volcano fragment -100% damage On hit: the victim will be ignited forever (and can’t be extinguished)

[@hugoiskonk407]

Yes thank you

[@markkemp6240]

Just here for the algorithim! Amazing video and people need to know that they can finally use pyro and get the fraggy feelings you get with other classes.

[@jaakkohaapasalo1873]

I just realized Pyro has alot of weapons that award full crits

[@VivBrodock]

using airblast is worse then you think, it turns off your weapon for a sec no matter what, put out an ally? weapon off, knock a demoknight off the map? weapon off, reflect a rocket and kill the soldier? weapon off. it's absurd on a weapon that's supposed to reward actually being skilled at landing shots

[@mythmakroxymore1670]

As a pyro main, I have lots of input to give. Firstly, when pairing the Phlog with the Gas passer, you’re relying very heavily on your ability to pick fights you can survive, as dying will reset your momentum. The afterburn caused by the gas passer is only considered your damage if you ignited the soaked target, meaning a bipolar pybro better suited to bullet-based assaults than explosive-based. On the other hand, the Gas Passer is an extremely useful defensive tool which you can throw at your feet on your way around a corner. Players chasing you would have to pas through the gas, exposing them to retaliatory ignition damage if you decide to double back or if your engine’s sentry is nearby. In a situation like this, ask your engineer to put his dispenser against the wall and close to the corner you’re using as cover. An ideal place to practice this strategy is the hall leading from the middle of Turbo to your intel, as your engineer ally can peer through the windows and warn you who to expect around the corner, and whether you should chase or retreat. Since I’m on the Gas Passer, let me fill you in on its role: it is a disengagement/engagement tool best suited for controlling choke points, deterring any and all enemies from moving forward. Not even spies will want to advance, since the gas will douse them even while cloaked or disguised. It also tells your teammates to focus their fire at a spot much like how an engineer’s teleporter tells teammates where to attack from. Finally, the gas can cover an area which sticky traps need to be reset at, while also obscuring the shape of stickies whether placed or active (but crit stickies tend to be seen anyways). Allied spies’ bumps are also covered up a bit, allowing you to get the drop even on intermediate players. The Passer is about area control, and is a favorable tool for payload pushes and control point plays. Foes playing the objective are easily punishable with the gas passer, as healing is reduced by afterburn and the cloud duration let’s you eat away at more resilient attempts to take or protect a control point. It can buy you a bit of time against a large flanking maneuver, weakening assailants or requiring a larger commitment to take the flank. Using the gas passer tells your teammates that you intend to focus your gameplay around your primary and melee while using your secondary for positional plays rather than as a damage supplement. Puppy guarding health packs with standard flamethrowers and the Backscratcher lets you deprive separated enemies of resources or hold them off long enough to steal the health, throw down the gas, and retreat to allies. Wielding the Dragon’s Fury with the Passer allows you to disengage from an unfavorable fight, such as if you right-click with poor timing. Equipping the Powerjack or the Hot Hand with the Passer allows you to disengage very fast, forcing foes to go all the way through the gas to pursue you, and complements the range of the Dragon’s Fury nicely.

[@StickMaster500]

Who knew the Pyro’s biggest weakness was going to the doctors and getting a vaccine because he’s scared of needles with this Dragon’s Fury bug?

[@alanavalos6645]

It’s you

[@AzNZinc]

it’s a fun weapon and in my mind what should’ve been stock pyro from the get go. makes pyro from this odd combo meme to an actual offensive ambush threat with minor bulk. pair with choice of mobility based secondary (detonator and jetpack are quite good at this) and now they can fly. excellently designed weapon, honestly doesn’t need any changes imo, it emphasizes aggressive behavior and discourages getting too defensive while not entirely taking away the option.

[@Whydidtheychangeittohandlesnow]

I’ve recently started using it as a combo weapon with various secondaries and it’s really quite fun and good.

[@gavrilstefan4200]

Your editing skills for not only your video footage but also intros is just amazing ,its pretty clear youre putting in a lot of work by doing it all yourself. Keep making great content i love it

[@skyelime3923]

As a Pyro main who's been mostly in the Pyro Meta, I definitely agree with all of the points you brought up about the Dragon's Fury. Stupidly good burst damage combined with a mountain of other upsides is really fuckin good. Also the whole secondary discussion is good too, you definitely have to use your other secondaries differently than you normally would, and it gives me great pleasure seeing the ManMelter mentioned as yes, it *is* really good with the Fury. Definitely agree that my main issue with the damn thing is that Airblast interval. Shit is devastating to the timing and I definitely feel like it needs a change, just not sure what.

[@vyor8837]

The change needed is in you. Effectively: just get good

Somehow, Dragon's Fury was the very first item I got in TF2. Not sure if this is common or if i just got insanely lucky, but I'll be sure to give it a try

[@GlitchKnight113]

I think the best comparison to dragons fury compared to flamethrower would be the crossbow vs the medigun. I say this because compared to the medigun, which is an autolocking, sustained healing beam that is shorter ranged, the crossbow is much more burst healing, requires aim, but is MUCH longer range (sound familiar?), compared to the sustained damage, shorter ranger, and no aiming, compared to the burst damage, long range, but aiming focused flamethrowers.

[@bigdaddydong]

A bit late with this, but this video has changed my view on this flamethrower, I had no idea how much this this thing did. I kinda had just let it gather dust in my backpack, but I've had so much fun disintegrating enemies and while not feeling braindead. I've also seen more people use the thing after this video came out as well, so I'm glad more people are using this thing.
