About +10 Pyromancy Flame

[The Weekday]

Hey guys! i was wondering if is it worth it upgrading my pyro flame to +10 so that my carthus flame arc would increase its damage? or would it really increase? ._.

+9 for sure.
+9 to +10 only if you feel like wasting a Slab for a 60-second-5-damage-increase per duel.

If you haven't increased INT/FTH much, +9 and +10 will have the same effect, I had 116 Spell Buff at +9 and then upgraded to +10(still 116, I had 10/10), so you might wanna keep it at +9.

Yeah, as mush as I love lighting thing on fire? You can only really justify a +10 Pyro flame if 90% of your damage is by using spells.

I will admit I prefer +8 on my not spell heavy SL 80 guys, but that's for Co-Op scaling reasons, not PvP Meta reasons (Plus caster builds need more levels to get their casting softcap, while not being a 500 HP weakling with the upper body strength of a small child)

Carthus flame arc and other weapon buffs are affected by the spell buff stat on the catalyst used to cast them, upgrading the flame will upgrade the attack rating given by the spell, but pyromancy flames don't get too much spell buff from upgrading them for some reason, but yes, it will deinitely increase it's performance
