Notes from author
Inspired by Aihel's 2013 world-record speed-run Pyro/Sorc-build. Minor tweaks to increase longevity and viability in normal, non-speed-run play.

Step 1 - POWER WITHIN!
Step 2 - HCSM+CSS for mid/long range.
Step 3 - Dark Bead for bosses/PvP/CQC.
Step 4 - White D. Breath for mobs
Step 4 - Nuke Everything.
This build can easily break 2000 damage with a CSS. Dark Bead can kill almost anything in standard NG in two, possibly three castings tops. (Including most Bosses!) Power Within brings it all together with the Bellowing Dragoncrest, Tin Crystal Cata, and Crown of Dusk for a massive boost to damage output.
Beware! You have very limited charges of your most powerful spells. Rely on WDB for normal mobs, save you HCSM and CSS for invaders and bosses. If WDB isn't your style, take a Pyromancy like Combustion/Great Combustion instead, or take Firestorm/Fire Tempest if you get surrounded often. Dark Bead will annihilate anything if placed correctly, but it's power is wasted unless used on a boss or in PvP against multiple foes.
Have fun and happy nuking!
