What are some good pyromancer (pvp) weapons?

[Buliwyf]

I am having some wild success with my pyromancies but when it comes down man to man, whip vs filthy hyper armor enemies I dont see much land at the moment with my +3 Witch Lock.

What are some good Pyro weapons? (I got 20 strength / 17 dex btw and just about to unlock Chaos Infusion)

[Avalone]

astora greatsword? I just pwned an invader in Catacombs of Carthus without even using pyromancy lol

[Orgazmo]

Demon Scar. Before that (or as a plan B): dark lothric sword or even dark long sword. Thats all.

[Mr.Dwarfy]

I think that a good weapon would be any kind of club, 'cause of the buffs and that they can be enchanted. Judging on my experince (I've never used a pyromancer, only wizard(un a Magic style) ) I think it would be best to use a fast weapon, that can be used at least well in 1-h and, if it's possible, that you can enchant it. That would help a Lot. Btw for me the best best xd, would be the lothric and lorian combined sword(I don't remember it's name). Good luck, and Praise the sun.

No love for the onyx blade?

suggestion: keep a dark-infused zweihander handy to hard-counter the RKPGS and other spin-to-win weapons. it's the lightest UGS that has the missile-launch WA.
you need 16 STR and at least bit of poise, though.
why dark and not chaos? because people with high STR resist fire better (increasing STR increases fire resistance).

p.s. if you can use whips well, the witch's locks are very good. remember that if you land an R2 at meelee range you can combo it with a WA. must deal a ton of damage.

Witch's Locks is excellent. Good range and a fast rolling R1 attack, plus pretty good staggering and damage through shields. Plus whips can't be parried.

Personally I find PvP with a caster type build works best when you're unpredictable. Bring a few weapons and quick spells. Slow heavy spells don't work in PvP, even the biggest fireballs are easily dodged.

[cridus]

p.s. if you want to be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, equip the caestus in the other hand, dual-wield it, activate perseverance, immediately switch back to the pyro's parting flame on the other hand and use black flame or even sacred flame. heck, even chaos bed vestiges at point blank.

[The Icecream Snowman]

A Sharp Lothric Knigh Straight Sword scales S in Dex and can be buffed for some serious dps. Not sure about Carthus Flame Arc but Crytal Magic Weapon have this sword dealing 500-600 damage per swing.

[Buliwyf]

What about the Crucifix of the Mad King? That any good for my pyromancer?

Im really fond of longer-ranged weapons (hence why I like the Lock whip so much)

Also whats a good balanced soul level range for invasions and arena?

[cridus]

Level 90 +10?

[Taco Cat]

The claymore did me Well, but the onyx blade completely beats it (plus it looks really cool).

[Buliwyf]

Guess I am going to grab that black blade then.

Normally not too fond of normal looking swords but the black fiery aura makes it decent enough for my Fashion Souls needs.

[Doc Vivor]

most weapons that are dark/chaos infused are good choices for a pyro build

did you try the gargoyl flame hammer?

[Buliwyf]

Im tempted to get the gargoyle spear instead to be fair, the Flame Hammer looks odd.
