Oh, on the note of Pyro Weapon Sets . .
I use an Exuro's Will right now, which is nice . . but not as great as I expected it to be . .

I'm working on acquiring parts for this set, could you guys tell me if it's alright?

Dragon's Breath Wand of Memory | Flame Artifact of Devotion

11-22
HSR Fire 20%
Inscription - "Have Faith" +5 / enchanted

Energy 12
HP + 45 (enchanted)
Inscription - "Foeget Me Not" HSR Fire 20%


I like the Dual HSRs this gives me, but the red flag here is the "w/ Enchanted" bit because as a Pyro, you only have 2 (maybe 3) enchants on you . . .


Edit:
If you were to pick between ^that^, Exuro's, or the Fire Staff of the Forgotten . .
Which would it be?

free slot (I often ran immolate here if I recall correctly, you could run draw conditions, or healing breeze, or whatever crap skill you want to slap here)

replace rez chant for restore life. That sounds just about like it. I would run Draw in there.

To the above post...I like a +5 melee/spear with a 20% Enchanted modifier, with a focus - your focus is fine, IMO. Although, I would prefer using "Faith Is My Shield" (+5 AL/Enchanted).

PROPHECIES ONLY - NO REZ CHANT JEEEEEEZ Flaming means insulting personally a member or organization. At least, that's the broad general meaning.

I'd say the second one...although no superiors are needed. You generally want 9+ in Energy Storage and it's fine, and there's no point running 16 Fire IMO. Without the Fire attune, as well.

If you are Prophecies Only, switch Resurrection Chant for Restore Life. Same effect.

spears aren't the way to go; +5 energy fellblades are WAAAY cooler.

Dual superiors are bad.

I see no reason to have to choose between immolate and rodgort's. Rodgort's will win every single time.

Same with incindiary bonds/meteor shower. Meteor shower isn't an IWIN skill, but it's certainly better than bonds.

Thom's spear comment is a joke. Don't take it to heart.

And you don't need Lesser Energy. I've hugged Prodigy for over a year now, and I never needed anything else.

IMO it can read something like:

Fireball
Rodgort's Invocation
Ether Prodigy
Heal Party
(Utility - Gale, Draw Conditions, etc)
Meteor Shower
Glyph of Sacrifice

You're basically there.

It's only half a joke. If I want to wand something I pull out a wand, but most of the time it's a +5 energy fellblade of enchanting. The fiery dragon sword I have with the same stats is good too.

secondary is monk Don't worry about monks not being capable of healing you. When the monks can't heal themselves it's pretty obvious that you can't heal yourself out of it with just two or three healing spells... Just choose one thing and go for that! Don't change your build to do 14 things at the same time, you'll end up doing all of them, but doing none of them good enough. You won't have the place on your skillbar for healing+nuking+energy management.

AoE isnt always followed by fleeing foes. There are also AoE spells that do dmg just once (Liquid Flame, Fireball for casting from a distance or Inferno/Flame burst if you want to damage adjacent/nearby enemies). Because they do damage just once, the enemies won't scatter all the time.

Conclusion:
AoE !=fleeing foes (not always at least)
Foes sticking together=good=more AoE
AoE !=........well, you get the point

Edit:
Searing Flames and Glowing Gaze will be nerfed (5 secs burning with SF and 8 secs recharge for GG)...Using Dual Attunement is now even more attractive
