So, i’m currently leveling a 2H Rifle Fire/Chaos Pyromancer and i was wondering which one of these skills is the best one for my character. I’m gonna use one of these to stack with CoF.
Also, is it worth it to pick up High Potency modifier in BWC?
Going to take this opportunity to ask if it’s worth it to pick up Possession. I’m going to have +4 to all Demo skills, maybe i can move some points to Occultist bar to get Possession.
BWC isn’t much of damage dealer unless you want to put a lot of points into it and even then not a ton it’s more of a debuff type skill, but 1 pointing the skill + high potency is great. With +skills it will provide a significant OA reduction to enemies and reduce phys damage by 25% which is huge if you’re up close and personal with a giant mob, Fabius, etc If you have extra points agonizing flames (the final modifier) is great as it reduces all resistances by a significant amount. Definitely worth 1 point at least with demo bonuses if you don’t have any other XX reduced resist debuffs
You definitely want thermite mines huge damage boost. Note that the scaling gets worse after 9 points and the hellfire mine modifier isn’t nearly as big of a debuff for the chaos damage.
Possession is definitely worth! 12% damage absorb, 25 chaos res, a nice % boost to chaos damage, and a significant amount of flat chaos damage. 100% want to take especially since it sounds like you have decent gear and won’t be super point starved. Solael’s + Possession combined will add a lot of flat chaos and increase your dps by a significant amount
The Transmuter is definitely worth taking. Agonizing Flames is flat resist reduction and Thermite Mine is % so they both stack with CoF. If you take Thermite Mine then you can still get flat resist reduction from Rhowan’s Crown, manticore or a couple of components.
If you have the skill points grabbing both is worth while that way you can use your Devotion points and components as something else.
My VF Pyromancer Tho I dont use the firestrike line as I dont care for the skill 
Just did some shenanigans in the Grimcalc (keep forgetting about the extra skill points from Kasparov and Hidden Path) and i can use both. And yeah, i want to use BWC as a debuff.
Definitely picking up Possession now. Thanks for the input.
IMHO Agonizing Flames is worth it if you do a lot of non-elemental damage. If you only do mostly elemental damage it’s probably better to take Elemental Storm from Rhowan’s Crown instead.
That said, do remember that one devotion point is worth 4.46 skill points.
it all depends on where you are headed for your devotion set-up and if you have the extra skill points. Going purple to get Elemental Storm can stop you from getting your main tier 3 Devotion Constellation if it is the opposite way.
Agreed; some builds can’t spare the devotion or the skill points for either and have to make do with item-based flat resist reduction for X seconds, or even none at all.
My devotion setup doesn’t allow me to get Rhowan’s Crown (going to the left to get Ulzuin’s Torch). I deal mainly Fire and Chaos damage (A big portion of physical is being converted to fire) and some lightning due to Static Strike.
Edit: And disregard the stuff i said above. Did some tweaks to my devotion setup and if i pick Fiend i’ll have exactly 3 devotion points left after i pick Ulzuin’s Torch. And it needs only 3 to pick Elemental Storm.
