Notes from author
can be extended to level 100+ advised putting more points in vit and end to 40. or more in str/dex for a different weapon. i use hand axe cause it is the starting weapon so it sort of seems right to use it. no shield as it adds weight, and the idea of this is to dodge with the high stam recovery, and the light roll. NOTE: this is the highest pyro damage out put, a comb will wreck a blocking opponent and so will a fire surge. As i am a forest hunter in the covenant i come across many gankers wih high poise. Fire tempest will hit them twice as the first hit will not stagger, meaning they take twice the damage of the most powerful spell in the game +20% damage from duck crown + damage boost from dragon crest ring. the axe is chaos for looks. it makes sense to have a fire wep for a pyro. I thought of having it a +15 and using charcoal but it might get tedious to keep buffing. Besides i didnt look much into it, you wouldnt benefit much from parameter bonus anyway as i have base dex and str of a pyro.
