FS Pyromancer : Devotion Progression

Hey everyone,

I’m really new to the game and I’ve decided to follow:undecided: the Brimstone Gunslinger build for now with my pyromancer. I’m struggling a bit with Devotion progression however. It’s a new system thats a little confusing to me and I’m hoping for some guidance/help.

I’d like to get to Solael’s Witchblade but I’m confused as how to BEST get there? In order, can someone help draw up a good progression for a DW FS Pyromancer build?

Currently I have Falcon bound to my FS, but I think thats wrong since I guess I want the witchblade?

The Brimstone Gunslinger includes devotion paths for all variations under “Suggested Devotion’s and Variations”. I’m going to assume you want DPS so here it is:

1 Point Red Crossroads
4 Points Viper - Remove 1 point Red Crossroads
1 Point yellow Crossroads
5 Points Tortoise - Skill Bound to Solael’s Witchfire
5 Points Crane
1 Point Green Crossroads
3 Points Hawk - Remove 1 point green Crossroads
1 Point Purple Crossroads
4 Points Empty Throne - Remove 1 Point Purple Grossroads
3 Points Light of the Scholar
7 Points Chariot of the Dead - Skill Bound to Flame Touched - Remove 3 points from Light of the Scholar
5 Points Solael’s Witchblade - Skill Bound to Fire Strike
4 Points Rhowan’s Crown - Skill Bound to Flashbang
4 Points Hydra - along the bottom
6 Points Scales of Ulcama - Skill bound to Vindictive Flame - Remove 1 Point yellow from Crossroads
4 Points Targo the Builder - To HP node

^ very outdated imo. It was written way back when offensive devotions were bad and defensive devotion were of utmost importance. A lot of stuff changed since then.

EDIT:
Quite ironic that a setup I won’t even get on HC due to way too big focus on defense was called “DPS” back then.

Wow this is super helpful, I could not find that in the Brimstone build guide for some reason, thanks.

@Stupid Dragon

Can you give me some more “up to date” suggestions?

Or can anyone verify the build order is out of date and not relevant anymore?

EDIT: I see why I didnt find it on the build page, I clicked the “Show” section of “DPS - 68k~Dps by Ironpunta” and within there it didn’t seem like a devotion build progression, didn’t see the DPS, Tank, Hybrid ones below, thanks!

No, because I never played it myself.
Moreover, I haven’t played GD for 3 months already.

Being that the above list and The Brimstone Gunslinger build have been deemed out of date on Devotions, is someone currently playing an FS Pyromancer that has a good devotion progression/setup chain they could share? Really hoping to have some guidance on this, perhaps it’s because I don’t understand what’s “out of date” about the other build or what has been nerfed/hasn’t since I’m new to the game?
