Pyric Arcflare Hybrid

A Pyromancer-Soulreaper hybrid that combines burning DoTs with arcflare burst. Best of both worlds with Pyric Arcflare synergy.

Overview

The Pyric Arcflare Hybrid combines Pyromancer DoT with Soulreaper burst for a build that excels in every scenario. Pyric Arcflare is the keystone — it bridges the two expertises, making your arcflare blasts apply burning and your fire skills boost arcflare damage. You get the ramp of fire AND the burst of arcflare.

Core Skills (Priority Order)

  1. Pyric Arcflare (Legendary, A) - The bridge skill. Fire boosts arcflare, arcflare applies burn.
  2. Spreading Flames (Legendary, S) - Burns spread to all enemies. Still essential for AoE.
  3. Arcflare Mastery (Legendary, S) - Arcflare damage +60%.
  4. Charged Arcflare (Mythic, S+) - Charged arcflare burst that also burns.
  5. Meltdown (Mythic, S+) - Pyromancer capstone for AoE fireball.
  6. Flashfire (Mythic, S) - Enhanced burning damage.
  7. Burning Expert (Legendary, A) - More burning damage.

Supporting Skills

  • Arcflare Volley (Common) - Base arcflare each round.
  • Fire Volley (Common) - Base fire each round.
  • Arcanist (Legendary) - Boosts all magic including both fire and arcflare.
  • Shielded Arcflare (Legendary) - Shield on arcflare for survivability.

Expertise Path

This build splits between Pyromancer and Soulreaper tags. Pyric Arcflare gives both. You need sufficient Pyromancer tags for Meltdown (5) and Soulreaper for Charged Arcflare. Plan your skill picks carefully.

Strategy Tips

  • This is the highest skill-ceiling build in the game. You’re managing two expertise systems simultaneously.
  • Pyric Arcflare makes this more than the sum of its parts — the cross-expertise synergy is multiplicative.
  • Spreading Flames + Charged Arcflare = your arcflare burst spreads burning to everything, then the burning ticks trigger more arcflare. It’s a feedback loop.
  • In Raids, this build dominates both AoE waves (spreading flames) and boss fights (charged arcflare burst).

Tier Rating: B

Suffers from the same problem as pure fire — burning DoT is weak in the current meta. The dual-expertise requirement means you’re splitting investment between two underperforming damage types. Fun concept but outclassed by bolt, knife, and defensive builds at high levels.
