Notes from author
A caster build focused on efficiency and fast casting spells.
1193 HP is a low HP pool, but with the Power Within increased defense and since it consumes 1% HP per tick it's very manageable and stat efficient.
Gear:
Lingering Dragoncrest Ring lowers Power Within tick frequency over a longer period of time before your HP depletes so you can have more efficiency over time, also can switch it to RTSR at low HP for apesh*t insane damage. (Blaze of Glory)
Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring to increase both Pyromancy and Sorcery damage (+20-26% depending on spell.
Crown of Dusk: For the same reason, stacking boosts, also it's light (+20% damage).
Elite knight set has no penalties on stamina regeneration and provides solid defense overall.
Giant's gauntlets and leggings for the max physical defense and to reach above 61 poise (62 total)
Heater shield is the lightest 100% physical defense shield*
(can also switch to a fire heater shield for 84% fire defense)
Velka´s Rapier with this stats has some good AR and chip damage, as well as a decent critical damage, and better range than a normal rapier.
Spells:
Power Within: +40% damage boost stacked to previous ones, +73% stamina regeneration and 150 secs duration with Lingering Dragoncrest Ring.
HCSM: Dsync, can chain it after hitting with a dark orb or staggering someone with low pois with great combustion
Dark Orb and Dark Bead: they got the same starting animation and different cast times, so they can confuse the opponent. Dark orb does 100 poise damage to it's almost a 100% chance to stagger your opponent into eating your HCSM or a close range combustion
Great Combustion: Max damage for the fastest cast time of all pyromancies. With all buffs and using RTSR, a single cast can go up to 1324 damage on a havelmom.
Weaknesses: Crystal Great Club Backstabs, fast rolling roll bs, or basically anyone good enough to roll through spells. Darkwood Grain ring. People that keep running away for 2 minutes
