Pure Pyromancer

All-in Pyromancer fire build. Maximum burn stacks, maximum fire damage, no compromises.

Overview

The Pure Pyromancer goes all-in on fire damage with zero compromises. Every skill pick is a Pyromancer tag, rushing to the Meltdown capstone as fast as possible. Chainflame spreads burns to adjacent enemies, Spreading Flames stacks them, and Meltdown detonates everything in a massive AoE fireball. This is the “set the world on fire” build.

Core Skills (Priority Order)

  1. Fire Volley (Common) - Cast fire every round. Your consistent burn applicator.
  2. Spreading Flames (Legendary, S) - Burns stack up to 3 per cast. AoE core.
  3. Flame Magic (Legendary, A) - Increased burn chance on fire casts.
  4. Burning Expert (Legendary, A) - Burn damage +60%.
  5. Chainflame (Legendary, A) - Burns chain to adjacent enemies. More spread.
  6. Ember Guard (Legendary, A) - Counter-burn when hit + minor burn boost.
  7. Meltdown (Mythic, S+) - Pyromancer capstone. AoE fireball + 15% burn boost.

Choose One: Flashfire or Wildfire

  • Flashfire (Mythic, S) - Burns deal 3x damage but expire end of turn. Best for short fights.
  • Wildfire (Mythic, S) - Burns stack endlessly, -10% damage. Best for long fights.

These two Mythics define your playstyle. Pick ONE based on the content you’re running.

Supporting Skills

  • Kindled Spirit (Common) - Bonus damage to burning enemies.
  • Ignite (Common) - Burn random enemy at battle start. Fast ramp.
  • Fire Rush (Common) - Cast 3 fire at battle start. Strong opener.
  • Flame Warden (Common) - Chance to cast fire when attacked.
  • Cauterize (Legendary, A) - Burn/bleed resistance for survivability.
  • Boost ATK (Common) - Raw damage scales burning.

Expertise Path

100% Pyromancer. Every skill listed gives a Pyromancer tag. You’ll hit the 5-tag Meltdown requirement by your 5th or 6th skill pick. This is the fastest path to any capstone in the game.

Why Pure Fire?

The Pyromancer expertise has the deepest skill pool of any single expertise. You never need to dip into another expertise because:

  • Chainflame + Spreading Flames = full-screen burn spread
  • Meltdown adds burst to complement the DoT
  • Ember Guard gives defensive utility within the fire tree
  • Cauterize gives sustain within the fire tree

Strategy Tips

  • Ignite + Fire Volley means enemies are burning from round 1, turn 1.
  • Chainflame + Spreading Flames = exponential burn spread in multi-enemy fights.
  • Meltdown charges from your attacks and detonates for AoE — it’s fire damage on top of fire damage.
  • This build is the simplest to assemble: just pick every fire skill offered.
  • In Raids, this build melts waves. Against fire-resistant bosses, consider Pyric Arcflare for hybrid damage.

Tier Rating: B

Easy to build but fire damage is weak in the current meta. Burning DoT ramps too slowly and gets outscaled by bolt burst, knife multi-hits, and warden/lifebinder survivability builds. Good for beginners learning the expertise system but you’ll hit a wall at higher content.
