what rings do i need to be a pure glass cannon pyro?
Looking for what would be optimal ring/armor/weapon gear to make my sl20 pyro be even stronger for the early game bosses.

using red tearstone ring + bloodlust to put me sub 20% life for the 20%AR (not sure if bloodlust itself affects magic)

using witch's ring for 25% pyromancies

using sage ring because 9 dex to improve cast times = more Chaos Bed Vestiges being lobbed.

darkmoon ring because 2 attunement slots to be able to cast tears of denial.

darkmoon ring and sage ring can be subbed for whatever would make CBV stronger.
my understanding i believe theres no armor that affects pyromancies, likewise for weapons.

Anyway, for a pure glass cannon build:
Witch ring
Great Swamp Ring
Fire Clutch Ring
Sage ring+2
For my glass cannon caster I use the two magic school rings and the corresponding clutch. For a Pyro this is Swamp, Witch and Fire clutch. It you want to be really glassy, wear some light armour for the negative physical defense and the Dusk Crown ring to reduce your HP. That will maximise your damage output as well as input.

Also: Morrion Blade offhand+ Red Tearstone modus.
Blindfold mask, if you deal dark damage.

CBV is fire unfortunently but definitely nice to know about that with soul of cinders being resistent to fire! morrion blade affect all sources of damage just like red tearstone?

Blindfold mask ( and some dark damage) is very usefull against Dancer, Old Demon King and Demon Prince too, if you are a pyromancer. Also it works with Dark Hand together, and with dark /deep infused weapons. Strong against some mob, mimics, Silver Knights, Black Knights. Fire casters in Demon Ruins.
Morion Blade doesn't work alone, only if you go with low hp and red tearstone ring.

Ah, yes: and one more very useful spell for a low level char: Rapport.

what i was getting to is morion blade is basically another red tearstone that is stackable right? i know tearstone affects pyromancies but im unsure if morion blade does, if so rip orbeck because i NEED that lol.

Morion Blade can increase all kinds of damage, I think by 20% in PvE.
You can get it without to kill Orbeck. After you defeat the Twin Princes, you can pick Orbecks ashes in the Archives and give it to Yuria, she will accept it.

Hm, I understood you wanna play on SL 20. If you enter ng+ with this char, you will need to level up 5 times to get Yuria again.
Maybe better you start again, if you didn't progress too far?
