Pyromancer Starting Equipment



 

 

Notes About This Class

  • Beginning at level 1, this class is among the stronger starting options in the game due to its early access to pyromancy and good general stat distribution as well as having the lowest soul requirements to level up.
  • Keep in mind that even though the Pyromancy Flame may say it scales with Intelligence, pyromancy spell damage does not actually scale with Intelligence, or any stat at all for that matter. It's only for its melee punch attack. The best one can do to improve Pyromancy stat-wise is raising Dexterity to increase casting speed

      Pyromancer is like a hidden SL1 class. It's the only class that starts at SL1, and it's also well suited towards it as Pyromancy is the only form of offence in the game that has both no scaling and no stat requirements.

        Best starting class for main character and first play.

        12 resitance, other stats around 10 and soul level 1 is great starting setup for all-arounder build and actually any build that is not purely physical.

        Fireball is better than fire bombs. Tattered cloth set offers decent protection and resistances in all situations. Handaxe is actually very effective against early enemies. Shield is crap but you can pick up better moment after you leave asylum.

          The lack of stat requirements for pyromancy makes it OP. Basically, you can create a melee-type character that shoots fireballs. Instead of a glass cannon, an iron cannon.

            Only thing kinda icky about the class is the bad shield, but all you need for shields in this game are the Heater Shield from the merchant in UB and the GCS in Darkroot, so it's fine.

              I love this game and all, but at no point did I ever get to make love to pies while using this class.
              Unplayable.

                So even though pyramcy is the most stat point efficient kind of magic the pyromancer is a horrible starting class, since he has a little bit of everything, which results in wasted points in stats you dont make a use of, missing elsewhere.

                  Everyone seems to forget that, because it starts at SL 1, this class is the most flexible to build anything you want starting early on due to cheeper level ups

                    Actually this class is just as good at faith builds as a cleric is... possibly better since you have an extra point in resistances.
