Armor for Pyromancer

[Kyoshi]

so i;ve got a pyromancer based dude, and im trying to get a decent armor set that looks good and has decent stats, but im looking for ones that just need normal titanite to upgrade. the only thing im using that has twinkling is penal handcuffs for pyro boost

so, what do you guys think would look good and still give me decent stats?

Why would it matter how you look? Do they do fashion shows on DS2 characters? If so, that's sad. Just go for best stats for your build, who gives a flying ♥♥♥♥ how you look.

If you want to follow lore, tattered cloth set can be found the in the gutter. Jester set is also a good one and that's what i've been doing for my Jester Thomas char.

Sooner or later Havels+Smelter helmet is gonna got old...

tatterd cloth robes + sinner cuffs

[PG]

Alva and Elite Knight set both look cool. Many players do actually go for looks over viability, which is a good thing for me, because I'd rather not fight people that have full Havel's and the Gyrm Greathelm since it looks fugly to me.

i like were your going with these, and i think i may have them, though if i go this im gonna be a glass cannon, so might not be best, but would definetely be awesome lore wise

Really, you're not going to find any armour set that won't make you somewhat of a glass cannon - Dark Souls isn't a franchise where you can tank hits.

30 int 30 fath 30 Att clear blue ring +2 (these stats give over 205 cast speed) + Southern Ritual Band +2 then dump the rest of your points where ever you like (stay below 30% load from fast recovery and a long roll)

My pyro had vengarls chestpiece with the desert stormstress hood, and black leatherboots.

[Kyoshi]

fair enough, btw do you know how the fire BNS works with faith and INT? as i've not invested in them solely because i dont get how it works

[PG]

Fire scales off your total of INT and faith combined. 30 INT and 30 faith would mean 60 whole points of fiery power.

int+fath gives the best results (it allso give's dark and magic resistance haveing int)

[Kyoshi]

oh, so i was right then, since i was confused before about it being either points in each sepeartely or combined total, was leaning more to combined side.

btw, if i've got 50 points in attunement, what do you think i should put into faith and int, or should i just go 30 anyways? (my dudes at 126 i think)
