Good stat spread for pyromancer?
I'm used to a ds2 pyromancer, level attunement and all the spells are yours, besides the requirements for the pyromancies, what should I aim for, for int and faith?
Also is there a guide that lists all pyromancies without spoilers so I can make sure I don't miss anything?

Dedicated caster or melee focused?

This is the pyromancy list from fextralife, but it does show names of some bosses, NPCs, and areas in the "location" column, so click at your own risk. Not sure if that's too much of a spoiler for you.

I've beaten the game a couple times, it's fine.

You'll want 40/40 in int/faith for sure, and 24-30 attunment (4 or 5 spell slots). How you split points between endurance and vigor will depend on how much of a glass cannon you're comfortable being, but go for at least 27 Vig. I honestly did not notice a huge difference between medium and hevay armor, so stick with light or medium and focus on dodging instead of increasing vit a lot.
For my pyro build, I kept some dark scaling equipment as back up for enemies with high fire resistance, as both infusions scale on the same stats. You can also use dark fire spells with the pyro glove, and they're pretty strong. Sages ring, witches ring, and fire clutch ring will help a lot too.
I would get the astora straight sword early on, raw infuse it, and keep it at least til you can get something infusable. If you're really spell focused, you can hang on to that all game as a side arm instead of infusing something else. It's solid damage and buffable with fire and dark, so it's a good backup.
A LOT of stuff in this game is weak to fire, so you shouldn't have too much trouble with this build once you get your basic spells.

There is two DLC weapons that will work great for melee with almost no stat investment in STR/DEX

I would do 40/40 split for faith / int for the Pyromancer, and atleast 30 attunement

I haven't used it yet myself, but there's a DLC boss weapon that can cast pyromanices as well. I don't know about the damage, but it looks pretty showy and would definitely be fun for a caster. This link probably has Ringed City DLC spoilers, FYI
