Yay...not really for the aoe, but this will help a lot with target switching methinks...

[Kervik]

Quick update. The Pyro changes should be available on PTS now.

[Berzz]

I think I may have creamed my pants a little bit.

Tears of joy for 61 pyro and of course 44/32 Pyro Harb!!!

What exactly is the point of combust spreading and also how much harder does fireball hit for? More then BoR shock pulse and swift shot?

[Glamour]

mmmmmm pyro buffs

Target switching. You can stick this on a group of people and you'll be able to switch to any of them easily. Also assuming that it adds a stack to the main target it makes it easier to build and maintain stacks if you have to move.

Instead of thinking of the value of spreading, look at it like having prime 100% of the time...

The ability lasts 15 seconds with a 15 second cooldown. And if that isn't enough you have prime.

The fireball buff was insignificant to the changes imo...the other nukes getting buffed and the aegis ICD is really what makes the changes golden. Having a 3 second Aegis ICD up with the extinguish stacks is gonna be juicy.

Hey all,

Some new updates to fill you in on. Some changes are on the way to PTS for the Pyromancer. The big change is that Flame Sigil is getting cut. Its being replaced with the ability Flame Rupture. This ability debuffs the enemy, applying a stack of Combust to up to 5 enemies within 7m every 2s. Lasts 15s. 15s cooldown. This is a tier 8 ability in the soul tree, in the same slot as Flame Sigil was.

Along with this change are a few others. Fulminate will no longer receive a damage bonus from Combust stacks. Its damage is being increased to compensate. It should now always deal damage similar to what it would currently deal with 5 stacks of Combust. Pyromancer's Aegis will now generate an extra Fireball proc up to once every 3 seconds (instead of 4). Fireball, Flame Bolt, Cinder Burst, Flame Volley and Fusillade have all received a damage increase as well.

As usual, these changes aren't necessarily final, but should hopefully be available on PTS in the next day or two.

YES! Hopefully with these changes I can once again "Kill it with FIRE!"

We shall see.

Great changes Kervik. Glad to see FS gone. Have you given thought to the 5m increased range tied to Ignition? This is something that is long passed due, with the status quo of every other ranged class being 35m range, and it's something being talked about a lot recently.

You absolutely should consider doing this!

Dary !

I apologize. Having no computer has made me watch 7 seasons of how I met your mother in 10 days.

It`s my PvP build. CBA to make a proper PVE Pyro spec just to check how numbers have changed

[Nethos]

must be some kind of PVP spec.

because as a PVE spec thats pretty whack....eldritch knowledge > acumen and the 11th point in dom...why

but for comparisons sake it at least shows the damage buff.

Edit:too slow lol
