Helmet

Helmet of the Acari

  • Fire Tsunami
  • Ashen Champion

Fire Tsunami: Critical part of your endgame gear. Widens your heatwave to burn everyone and gives you 50% anomaly power with the set bonus.

Ashen Champion: Mod dismantled from the Helmet of Lava Lich - Very Critical mod as well to synergize burn and ash to setup Overheat.

Armor
Armor of the Acari

  • Detonator
  • Damage Absorber
Detonator : Reduces Overheat Cooldown by 50% - basically the cooldown drops down to match with the cooldowns of heatwave and F.A.S.E.R beam.

Damage Absorber: is a must-have. Increases your armor by approx 50k and resistance by 10%. The armor gains from this mod scale with item level. It's very good.

Pants
Waistcloth of the Acari

  • Anomaly Echo
  • Frequent FASER
Anomaly Echo : 100% uptime as all your skills are under 10 seconds.
Frequent FASER: is a must-have.Reduces the cooldown of your beam to match with heatwave and overheat.
Gloves
Gloves of the Shaman Warlord

  • Pure Power
  • Emergency Stance
Pure Power : Boosts your beam damage even more
Emergency Stance: must-have.you have a 4 second timeframe to get your health back up by leeching with burn/skills.
Boots
Gloves of the Shaman Warlord

WIP : I plan to swap these boots once i get the right rolls.
  • Tidal Wave
  • Master Consumer
Tidal Wave : Gives heatwave another charge to burn even more targets
Master Consumer: Another Critical Mod. Increases Overheat's damage by 150% when you consume both ash and burn.
Guns
Critical Armor Stats
Status Power : Boosts F.A.S.E.R beam damage, increases burn damage and increases ash duration.

Anomaly Power : Boosts your overall skill damage

Cooldown Reduction : Critical for skill rotation and skill uptime.

Skill Life Leech: Your ultimate stat for survival
Skills and rotation
  1. Heatwave
  2. Overheat
  3. F.A.S.E.R


Skill Rotation

The Set-bonus as mentioned earlier boosts your Anomaly power by 50% for each enemy targeted with the skill.
Ashen Champion : Instead of burning everyone, it will apply ash to all targets
Master Consumer : Consumes both fire and ash to deal 150% damage

Keeping in mind on the above, the rotation is as follows:
Generally for Elites and mobs,

Heatwave -> F.A.S.E.R -> Overheat -> Heatwave -> F.A.S.E.R -> Overheat

For Mob clear ( since they stay ashed for longer):

F.A.S.E.R -> Heatwave -> Overheat-> Heatwave.

So the tactic here is to BURN then ASH and then Overheat to consume both status effects and start the rotation all over again. Rinse and Repeat
Skill Tree
This is my current setup. Might change it in the future - skill leech, health and anomaly power is your priority.

Firepower/AP/Health/Armor
How to Survive?
Burn, Burn and more Burn.

You should have at least one target burning. The Skill leech will always help you rejuvenate when Emergency Stance gets triggered at 30% health.

Summary
Conclusion


This build is still WIP. I still have a lot of tweaking to do. Will keep updating this guide when i have time. This guide is just to give an idea how the synergy of Heatwave,FASER and Overheat works.

Hope this helps down the line.

Just having faser with a good cd will give you the most damage on your team. I run the firewall, heal, and faser and I usually have both my teammates combined and multiplied by 2 in damage

This guy is trying to burn the world to absolute cinders. Lovin' how this looks, now I just need to give it a shot!

I don't know if anyone else has this bug or noticed but in the Class Tree the "Gifted" on the Fire Storm Row doesn't work, I get to see 5% Weapon Damage (from "Gifted" on Tempest Row) instead of 10% and the Anomaly doesn't add as well.

haha wow, i checked this post on a whim and I made almost the exact same build. Grand opening is amazing for one shots. My main difference is i use feed the flames and thermal bomb instead of overheat and faser. I just like the animations more :P
but with acari and grand opening, there's a lot of chill versatility

Worth noting that emergency stance is broken right now, and gives you the golem effect permanently once activated. it should be an auto include to any build right now until its fixed.

Great build, pretty much what I'm farming my pyro up to. Only replacing a weapon with Deathshield because it's 43% more damage for my abilities, and replacing one of the defensive mods with burnt-out, to do 25/50% more damage against enemies hit by heatwave. From my experience with all that skill leech, one panic mod (<30% hp trigger) is enough. Deathshield converts armor % damage absorption 1:1 to damage. So if you hover over armor and have at least 43% damage reduction from it, you get the max bonus from Deathshield (I think at around 35-40k armor).

That build seems to be pretty fun and relevant. I will just say that Damage Absorber + Emergency Stance is pretty overkill atm, Emergency Stance is way enough to deal with the current content in term of survivability. You could swap Damage Absorber to Pants On Fire to add global damage to you Overheat. It's pretty good, believe me !

I wonder if any Thermal bomb build could be viable, i love that skill.

Deathshield works with up to 43% + overall dmg of your Armor. Not sure if its meant by pure Armor or with mods. Ive also seen many playing with Deathshield and the Comet mod. Guess it works very well with cooldowns and dmg output. Ive been farming since 3 Days the Waistcloth, but wasnt able to get it yet. That kinda struggles my Gameplay. Since i played all Classes, Pyromancer is the most difficult in my opinion. Rly had to struggle manage to CT15 if you arent getting what you need. If you arent lucky with anomaly gear you need, play Volcanic Rounds and the upper tree to manage your way up. Farm everything you need and simply switch to anomaly.
Nice Build btw =)

Nice. I'd like to see them add a mod sometime that reduces FASER's charge time. Such a sick move, but it's frustratingly slow.
