Pyromancer/Builds

## General Playstyle

As a range damage career, Pyromancer should always put Special killing as your first priority if your weapon/career skill set allows. Then depends on your choice of range weapon, focus on Elites or Horde Mobs until you reach a point where you need to vent, or when you want to switch to melee weapon. Even with some builds that are designed to boost your melee damage, your range weapons are still better against high-density enemies. When there is a Boss on the field, clean Horde Mobs and Specials, then help your team deal with the Boss.

## Recommended Melee Weapon Choice

Depends on your build, Pyromancer should choose different melee weapons for different purposes. Only Flame Sword is not recommended since it has poor temporary Health generation on Pyromancer.

Description:

These builds are meant for casting focus playstyle.

With these builds, you should prioritize killing high density Horde Mobs with your staff. Use your Temporary Health to vent to keep casting and keeping rotating yourself to a safer place. Use your melee weapon to generate Temporary Health when you have no health to vent. Or clean up some left alone armoured units. So choose melee weapons that have high damage against Armoured units. Your career skill can regenerate tons of Temporary Health, bursting down high health Elites or picking up Specials in long distance.

With Beam Staff build, you can two shot-bodyshot all Skaven/Chaos specials with instant snipe attack. The blast attack can kill Skaven Horde Mobs in one shot, Chaos/Beastman in two shot.

Your level 10 talent Spirit-Casting helps Beam and Conflagration Staff most since they all heavily benefit from Heat Sink. Ride the Fire Wind boosts Fireball and Flamestorm Staff more because these two staff doesn’t speed a lot of heat each channel and need to be cast constantly.

Your level 20 talent Deathly Dissipation helps most of the staff here. With 10 seconds of infinity heat, you can burst out tons of damage and crowd control. For Flamestorm Staff, you lack the ability to kill Specials and require long channelling time which is a total waste to that 10 seconds window. So use On the Precipice instead since you can manage your heat high without exploding with Flamestorm Staff easily.

### Melee build:

#### Beam Staff build

https://www.ranaldsgift.com/14/121322/2,1,3,6/1,1,5,4/3,2,1/5,4,2/3,2,3

#### Fireball Staff build

https://www.ranaldsgift.com/14/121322/2,1,3,6/2,4,5,4/3,2,1/5,4,2/3,2,3

#### Bolt Staff build

https://www.ranaldsgift.com/14/121322/2,1,3,6/5,1,4,4/3,2,1/5,4,2/3,2,3

Description:

These builds are meant for melee focus playstyle.

With these builds, you should prioritize gaining high heat with your staff, trigger the Hunter trait during fights, and kill rest units with your melee. So choose a melee weapon with all-around ability for all types of situations. However your range weapon still performs better when you are at low heat or Horde Mobs are grouped up, so don’t hesitate to retreat a bit and switch back to staff for a while. Use your career skill can regenerate tons of Temporary Health, bursting down high health Elites or picking up Specials in long distance.

With Bolt Staff build, you can one shot-bodyshot almost all Elites and Specials with level3 charge attack, where Standard Bearer needs two shot and Chaos Warrior needs three. Your level1 charge attack can one shot-bodyshot Skaven/Chaos Horde Mobs and two shot Beastmen Horde Mobs.

With Beam Staff build, you can two shot-bodyshot all Skaven/Chaos specials with instant snipe attack. The blast attack can kill Skaven Horde Mobs in one shot, Chaos/Beastman in two shot.

Your level 10 talent Martial Study and level 20 talent One with the Flame gives you a great melee damage boost. The higher heat you have, the more melee damage you deal. If you can keep your Temperory Health high, you can choose Spirit-Casting on level 10 instead for more DPS.
