If you know the Hunter’s comin’ then you hide or keep on running
'cause he’d slain the gods before …
Introduction
It’s been a long while since I touched any kind of Pyro build (after making a spam DB one). Tho in the latest PT Harbinger’s set got some important buffs, allowing to make a build that can be considered the overall best Pyromancer, at least for now.
This is also the second build I killed the most Celestials with, after Spellscourge.
Belt and amulet – to convert acid>chaos and overall bonuses;
Pants – for extra LL and resists coverage;
Relic – I used Eldritch Pact for more HP and hardcapping Solael’s Witchfire and Possession, tho Plunderer’s Talisman is also a very good choice due to its WPS.
Pros and cons of the build
Pros
Very solid solo-damage due to DB bonuses and quite strong AA;
Very simple build to play – basically only FS with DB nuke.
Cons
HP pool is not really big, as well as some CC-resists are low.
Crucible
Average crucible runs are all about 4:40 (with small difference). You can go faster with lucky muts/spawns and Plunderer but I didn’t bother with it.
Ravager of Minds – for this fight use 150hp/16 DA augs, also can kite until Blast Shield/set proc is up.
Callagadra, Scion of Sands – hit-n-run tactics works well here, but better not get greedy, as Calla can kill you very fast.
Crate of Entertainment – this vid is WR kill during PT, average timer is ~35 sec. For safer kill I recommend using the boots from the vid and 1 Frozen Heart for better cc-resists.
Summary and thoughts
After latest buffs to the Harbinger set, this build got some very needed defense while keeping it’s great offensive potential. It’s definitely strong but not broken as you can still die because of CC or crit, or w/e.
Feel free to download the build, play it and write your impressions and feedback.
thanks, im leveling one now, this is even better than my evoker for sr75 farming.
if you have free time, pls check out my non-inquisitor-seal purifier and see any improvement, its still lacking something idk
This build can comfortably kill all celestials and do all contents still after the updates right?
I have 1 more question: on yt I have seen that You used Plunderer’s talisman instead of Absolution for Crucible.
Is that relic in general a better choice or its only for Crucible?
This build is just amazing!!
This is easily my favorite shooter build with the famous vindicator one.
Great build and imo finely balanced between Demolitionist and Occultist. I’m currently playing a Purifier but it’s pretty much polished and so I was looking for another combo for my loved Demo. Then I found your Pyromancer and it looks super strong and solid from what I can tell. It’s definitely going to be my next build. Thanks a lot for showing your build.
So, I’m currently leveling your build and I can say, that it’s lot’s of fun and easy to play, which is great as I’m a bit clumsy at the keyboard . I have a question: why did you choose Aspect of the Guardian? I understand why you chose Blood of Dreeg as it’s acid damage is converted to choas damage and it’s great for healing but why Aspect of the Guardian? Is it because of the +% Vitality damage for the DB or do I miss something? I hope my question isn’t too stupid . I have played the game for about one hundred hours now but it can be a bit complex at times and I’m still learning the mechanics.
I finally reached the Abominable Might and found out, that I can’t bind it to my weapon attack like you did with your build. I took Flashbang and Searing Light (both 1 point) to bind it to. What do you think about it? Any other skill you would suggest instead?
Fortunately I already have the shoulders and as soon as I reach the level requirements I’ll use their WPS. 'Til then I’m fine with the FB. Once again thanks for your reply.
