Is it a fun playthrough
power within is like the most OP mechanic in any game ever made by fromsoft
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.
The change I feel is mostly for balance. Since PvP only cared about your level pyromancies were freat for twinking. Also you didn’t really have a way to gate how strong a pyromancer could be at any point of the game since the flame required souls and nothing else to upgrade.
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
If you like being overpowered, then yeah lol.
Pyromancy is not only very strong for straight damage, but also has strong support spells. Also requires no stats other than for slots.
