Build Guide: Pyromancer

The Pyromancer is one of the four officially showcased Fatekeeper builds. The core idea is sustained area pressure: fast casts, multiple projectiles per cast, and ricochet to fill rooms with fire. Skill-tree investment is concentrated in the fire branch and the spell-alteration branch.

Core Skill-Tree Picks

[object Object],[object Object]Cast speed and damage.
[object Object],[object Object]Multi-projectile, ricochet, additional cast speed.
Defensive crossover. A few points in melee or leecher to survive when enemies close.

Recommended Loadout

Slot	Pick
Weapon Set 1	Staff
Weapon Set 2	Backup melee, e.g. sword or dagger
Armor	Light to medium for cast speed and dodge mobility.
Relic	Any relic that buffs fire damage or projectile count.
Consumables	Fire vials for the slot-2 melee, fire handbombs for crowds.

Combat Pattern

Open with a multi-projectile fire cast at range.
Ricochet kicks in around corners and tight rooms; the same cast hits multiple enemies.
Throw a fire handbomb when enemies cluster.
Swap to slot-2 melee for stragglers; the vial coating extends the fire theme into close range.
Use telekinesis to control distance when an enemy closes.

Strengths

High sustained area damage.
Strong crowd clear thanks to multi-projectile and ricochet.
Builds well into a hybrid alchemist if the player wants more burst.

Weaknesses

Limited single-target burst against bosses with high health and few add waves.
Vulnerable in tight corridors where ricochet rebounds can be chaotic.
Punished by enemies that resist fire; carry a backup non-fire damage source.
