mini-crits enemies resently attacked by teammates
shield protects against some of the incoming melee damage taken

slightly less damage then stock axe


i decided not to use specific % but only general ideas

Did you not even look at the workshop page?

it's got the pyro logo painted on it :V

I think it should have a "slam" ability (Basicly charge but more shield impact damage and much shorter slam time and weapons only mini crit) aslo +15% movement speed on wearer +30% Damage on wearer, Shield Takes up flare gun slot, Axe takes up flame-thrower and melee slot, -45% Attack Speed +50 Health On Wearer. And Usable in medieval

oh wait reallt?Cuz it looks more like a demo item rather than pyro.Besides,pyro uses flare guns and shot guns for secondaries,not shields

it's a melee weapon..

If it were me I'd say that the shield and axe ought to be seperated into two different weapons rather than one. The shield could be a secondary that gives an additional twenty five health, and some other little stats, some form of damage resistance I'd imagine. In regards to the axe I think it should swing faster (due to it being one handed), and perhaps have a smaller reach (it appears to have less range than the standard axe). Overall though I'd like to say bravo to the talented creators of this item.

Pros:
-20% Damage Taken
+10% Damage
+20% Firing Speed
Right Click To Shield self, taking 1/2 damage
Cons:
On Miss: Hit yourself. Idiot. (Makes sense as the demo is the usual knight and the pyro does not know how to work a battleaxe)

Because the axe is "small" and a shield for Pyro:
+100% resistance agains charge impact damage
-15% damage

Shield: + 25 health on wearer and +15 shield regeneration Axe: -10 damage penalty + 15 faster firing speed and -10 attack range

instead of charge you have a lunge/ump kinda thing
however is landed on is stunned and/or marked for death

Axe stats

25% faster firing speed
crits on stunned players
-25% health from all sources

what about making the shield crit or minicrit resistant? and of course other stats

Got an idea for the two.

Shield - Secondary
Immune to knockback
20% Explosive resistance
+15 health

Axe - Melee
+ Crits on spies
- -25% swing rate
- No Random Crits


Shield Notes :
Knockback immunity means that enemy pyro's can't airblast you, turrets don't push you back and Force-a-Nature's just make Scouts flee from you faster. This could be very useful unlike the explosive resistance. This is not useful with the airblast since most can be reflacted BUT allows for greater survival rates if you fail. The health boost is my alternative to bullet resistance, with the sacrifice being no ranged capability at-all.

Axe Notes :
This axe could be a potent alternative for spy-checking, since it will kill them once and for all. No dead-ringer crap on you BUT now they won't be on fire (and easily visible to all). Aslo, since Pyro has a large edge over spies, this loss of all random crits could make them worse against other classes. the slower swing rate also means with your Spy-checking axe, you are not able to do anything else for 1s. This means if you miss, you better follow that spy well because otherwise you are dead; or any other class with their conventional guns can kill you I guess.

if the sheild is secondary and the axe is melee then I would say:
SHEILD:
+25% fire resistance
+25% blast resistance
alt fire: catch fire for 5 sec deal fire DMG to nearby enamies
