| Wagram said: Pyromancy needed to be nerfed BAD. It required nothing to use and it was so over powered it's not funny. All the sucky PvPers online only used it as a cheap way to win. Best matches I had online were with people who fought with weapons to the death! |
The only thing that needed a nerf was Greater Combustion. It does pretty massive damage for somethin that doesn't use any stamina - it went pretty decently with melee guys. From what I heard, it's pretty brutal when used with specific timing on a guy just getting up from a backstab).
Aside from that, all pyro spells are easy to dodge. Whenever I see someone spamming pyro spells, sometimes I'll bust out the Black Knight Shield and they're back to how pure mages were in Demons Souls: useless.
Pyromancy overall though was a broken concept from the start since it scales off the item. It reaaaally needed it's own stat to be good without it being broken which is unfortunate since it could've been somethin unique. Instead, FS just let it go to complete waste. Not saying that it's useless now but, it just doesn't mix well overall with the game.
I was a little disappointed to see that they just nerfed the damage rather than doing a rework. As of now, I can only picture myself using Power Within (glad Iron Flesh was nerfed!).
