Any recs for Str / Fai Pyro build?

[ObecityCat]

I played a magic caster last year and now want a str fire boi.

I looked into some swords
Magma Blade (curved sword) , Blasphemous Blade (greatsword), Vyke's War Spear (great spear), and Eleonora's Poleblade (twinblade)

However I would like it on par PvP-wise with other builds (although I have not played since summer of 22). I honestly would most likely end up with a lighting and fire casters at some point but its easy to respec. I'm feeling more str in the distribution since I never did a str build in elden ring. But idk how these types of builds fair.

Well, here are three options:

1) STR/FAI hybrid as you suggested. Meet minimum dex requirements for those weapons, and then pump STR to ~50 and the rest into faith. Clawmark Seal would be your best option for casting, but it'll won't do big damage due to the poor incantation scaling. This is the middle ground.

2) FAI with minimum STR/DEX. Infuse weapons with flame art and their respective ashes of war so they scale primarily off of faith. Use the Giant's Seals for the damage bonus to most fire incantations and better incantation scaling than the Clawmark Seal. This leans more towards casting, but can do melee just fine so long as you don't mind the lack of pure physical infusions. It also has access to sacred infusions and sacred AoWs.

3) If you won't be casting at all, pure STR already has access to the fire infusion and its own STR-based fire ashes of war. This is melee-focused, and it still retains access to the heavy infusion for enemies that are resistant to fire.

Hero and Prophet would be good choices for any of these options due to the low INT. Vagabond would also work if you don't need the arcane.

EDIT: added more to option 3

Regular "Fire" infusion adds both faith and strength scaling if you use an ash-able weapon (Troll's Golden Sword with Eruption or Flaming Strike maybe?), and the Clawmark Seal also scales with both STR and FTH - not sure how they fare stat-wise but they probably help with the "spreading stats too thin" issue a little bit at least.
