You can pretty much toss pyromancy into any physical focused build since it has no stat requirements. It's pretty fun
I hated that they made it a "regular" magic type in the later games, scaled with your stats. It was a great support magic for melee builds, afterwards it just became another casting build.
one of the many ways the sequels did not understand the original game.
I mean yes and no. DS1 will forever be my favorite, but I liked 2 and 3 as well, for different reasons.
I like doing dex sword + pyromancy. Also, Laurentius is is one of the best NPCs.
My most difficult but rewarding playthrough was a base level starting gear sorcerer. I permitted myself to upgrade the starting gear, and use whatever rings or spells, but couldn't equip anything else. Maximizes the feeling of being a frail, scrappy trickster
My first playthrough was a fast roll, balder side sword and shield dex pyro run and I learned a lot. You don’t hit too hard though with your weapon, so be aware of that. It’s a very different experience to a great club pure strength glass cannon run.
