Pyromancer

Discuss TF2! Or don't. Whatever takes your fancy.

According to the offical TF2 stats, the Pyromancer achievement is apparently the most rare one... for rather understandable reasons. (I'm amused by seeing "Ubi concordia, ibi victoria" amongst the most rare achievements, since I got that one without even trying for it). And apparently achievements involving friends are hard to obtain for the average TF2 player. It would be intesting to see how many who have all achievements but Pyromancer, or how many percentages of the TF2 owning population that actually have a achievement.

Either way, does anyone know a single person who have gotten Pyromancer? Apparently to a TF2 parser I have, I have done around 450 K damage in total with pyro.... but only about 200K of those is recorded for the achievement. (why they didn't do it like the 1 million healed achievement and just reward people who already done it is beoynd me... gfds)

It could be that they only added the necessary tracking information with the updates. Also possibly to even out the odds.

From the pyro pack I'm only missing Pyrotechnics, Plan B (2/10) and Pyromancer (257k/1m).

Medic pack I'm missing Intern, Specialist, Doctor Assisted Homicide, Ubi Concordia, Ibi Victoria and You'll Feel A LIttle Prick.

If Valve had recorded damage for pyro like they recorded healing points for medic, I probably would have double that, I have I think 150 hours as pyro give or take, so I feel a bit gipped.

I have every one but Pyromancer as well.

...I figure the Medic healing one would been 10 million still if the milestones were set lower from the start.

I've got nearly 40+ hours as a very pyromaniacal Pyro, and only have around 600k fire damage (which still works out to about... 285 damage per minute). I would've done some grinding for it, but I find the stat very hard to track. The actual flamethrower contact -doesn't- boost the stat (and it does the vast majority of the damage unless the pyro is killed), only torching someone and letting them -live- does. Which really defeats the purpose, hence why it's probably so rare at the moment.

The more I look at the stats, the more I'm scratching my head though. Back when the Ubersaw required all the achievements, I think there was alot more then 3.8% of the Steam community running around with one. Then again when you factor in guest passes and free weekends it kinda makes sense.
