Outriders - BEST Pyromancer Build For Leveling + End Game! INSANE Damage Guide!

[@NickTew]

Hope you guys enjoyed, if this helped please make sure to drop a like! Also, my explanation of status power was incorrect. It only increases duration of freeze, vuln, ash, and weakness, so it's actually very good for Pyro! twitch.tv/NickTew

[@douglasbzittrer]

Hey NickTew! Definitely enjoyed this video as well as your Trickster videos. I am really torn between the two classes. I was drawn to Pyro from day one but like many others have flip flopped around as there is so much potential with all the classes. I am loving the hunt the prey, venator's knife and twisted round build for Trickster, especially if/when you are lucky enough to get the Ugake Otarah legendary armor set. I would REALLY appreciate your opinion as to whether the Trickster or this build would suit a solo player better? I find both of these classes to be insanely fun to use and am having a difficult time choosing which to main. I am a huge fan of Overheat and know how powerful the "Rounds" abilities are for Techno, Pyro and Trickster. The third ability has been a toss up between heatwave, ash blast or feed the flames. In all honesty, I do happen to find more utility and use for feed the flames so I find myself drawn and interested in this build. Thanks in advance for helping me choose between the two classes and providing your feedback :)

[@Shazb0t009]

More of an in-game mechanics question, but would reapplying burn with volcanic rounds just reset the timer of burn and keep ash from being applied?

[@jakebarwell1086]

This was a very compact and insightful video, well done and keep it up my man! Some videos focused on the games mechanics would be appreciated, for instance I didn't know status power effected burn time.

[@jazzmeltsface]

@@Shazb0t009 yea that's what i was wondering

[@Shazb0t009]

@@jazzmeltsface The main thing I can think of is that Overheat will consume the burn and proc ash on stuff, which makes sense.

[@PureBrawler]

This build trivialized a section I was unable to beat, you rock

[@bigimportantman1544]

I run a similar build that’s a little more dialed in. Spec more into Ash Breaker for the immobilization CD reduction, grab weapon leech perks & the anomoly boost. --- For survivability, I would add weapon leech skills/mods. You can get 50-100% weapon leech on ash breaker with mods for survivability. And that’s before you factor in a free health bar from FtF every 12 seconds and passive heals from marked kills. ---- For damage, 100% swap out overheat for thermal bomb. You can mod for double targets in one cast. The first one usually blows up the second. You can cover enemies in ash/weakness before detonation for increased damage. You get almost 100% uptime on the 45% anomaly boost in ash breaker with FtF. You can also get the 40% damage debuff mod on TB targets to burst them down quickly and consistently. Even if thermal bomb did nothing else... the debuff would be worth casting on bosses over Overheat for the better debuff that applies to your entire party. It’s also an interrupt with a significantly lower CD. ---- Everything else is basically the same. You’re still wiping the floor with infinite volcanic rounds... you’re just dying less and blowing shit up everywhere when you gun down enemies.

[@drgonking2093]

Very interesting 🤔

[@yuxx87]

Flame grasper makes feed the flames target 3 mobs.. 99% ammo back and also fills health bar to full.

[@xDef_QUAKE]

That is probably one I will most likely grab the second I see it

[@alecferguson999]

Great tips. I'm currently farming CT14 and have noticed a few other skills that are helpful. You don't need to spec into Incinerate if you put Ultimate Ashen Bullets (1s) on your weapon. The legendary weapon that gives this mod is currently in the drop pod shop. This is also nice because you don't need to wait for the burn effect to end for ash to be applied. Reforging Bullets is very good, it makes it so critical hits don't use ammo. At higher CT, bosses have a ton of health and you won't have enough in your mag to replenish. Also, Bullet Kindling (+20% Damage to enemies afflicted by burn), Ash Cleaner (Critical Shots apply extra 23414 damage to enemies afflicted with ash), Ashen Boost (+20% Damage to enemies afflicted with ash) and Thirst for Blood (Increases weapon leech by 40% for 10s when you kill an enemy afflicted by bleed). Otherwise, I use Mitigation from Death and Golem for survivability. I have noticed that Vampiric Mag does not always proc and may have some kind of internal cooldown? I'm not really sure.

I'm going to try this build out and see how it is. I mainly picked pyromancer as my main because I wanted to be like a fire mage, so it's a little disappointing to see that it's at its best with a gunplay build and weak anomaly. Oh well.

[@drezonb9546]

If you want to proc ash in a decent AOE,if you decide to use thermal bomb, there's a armor mod that inflicts ash on every enemy in its vicinity,just before thermal bomb is detonated. Think a smaller ash blast,but with a big aoe explosion for more damage. There's also an armor mod that allows for a 2nd thermal bomb before cooldown. This could make thermal bomb a decent alternative to overheat. Minus the overheat mod that increased weapon damage for 5 second after use that you'd lose. With fire and rifle node still applies,as it's also an explosive skill.

[@eddiesmith9955]

Nice! SO when you explained the volcanic rounds set them on fire I immediately went "Oh shit, that health regen!" And then when you didn't mention it right away I came to comment it right as you said it too. Lol

[@cozycolezy1354]

Watch any esoterickk video on this game, any tree can do just as much damage as any other, middle trees just relying more on mods to scale properly and bottom tree makes you a little squishy, but especially on pyro you can just blast through even the toughest of levels

[@edwardgordon7839]

The gunplay trees are the brain dead trees. The others require an IQ higher than your mod count. Also, the volcanic round tooltip literal says it deals skill damage. Skill damage is the stat you gain from anomoly power. Bit odd for a tooltip to say that for a skill that doesn't scale with anomoly power no?

Really helped with my build im messing these mobs up now thanks for the video

[@troyodynski3652]

Been using this build for a while before seeing your video somethings to think about. It's spotty if you play with other people as your ability to trigger refills on ammo depends on killing blows which you can get a dry spell on if teammates get the killing blow instead. You can struggle on the bosses at higher tiers because the boss might take more than 1 clip to kill. Also of note anyone who has played with some of the tier 3 mods will discover the procs for a number of tier 3 mods are simply OP and will out dmg your gun and molten shots period. So having multiple high dmg procing mods can be better than molten especially in teams were your clips ends up going dry. Last request I see people showing their builds alot but I rarely see them showing their dmg output at the end of expedition runs, and comparing their output to team members who have a proper build.

[@imslightlybaked4575]

personally, i feel like on a VR build, the enemies dont survive long enough to become ashed. So i feel like ash is kinda of irrelevant, i did most of the same here, except my 4 points went into the middle tree, from the node going down where "when burn ends it inflicts ash", even though i dont use ash, i went down from there, to the right to snag 8% more damage to marked targets, and to the right one more, and the noteable down, where any skill trigger increases weapon damage. i have done that one, and this setup, but i honestly like the route i took a little better. The 8% increased to marked isnt much extra, but it i always use over heat so everyone is always marked, and the bonus to damage regardless of overheat or f2f imo is a little better. I dunno, maybe check it out for some testing. Both works great though, almost the same in all honesty. Although in the middle route, if your survivability is a little low but your damage is still off the charts, you can swap the 8% damage to marked enemies for 20% resistance for yourself.

Feed the flames should be a must have with the mods that give 33% ammo back in the mag and one that allows you to grab 2 enemies pulls 66% ammo back meaning you don't reload couple that with an LMG so the fire ammo is effectively infinite

Idk, wouldnt it be better to skill into Ignite tree combined with Tempest tree since Vulcanic Rounds scale with Skill Dmg AND you would lower its CD massively which would compensate the overall loss of a buff of weapon dmg without Ash Breaker tree?

[@Dxwill10]

So I've been using the Wicker "Comes with legendary shots apply ash every 1second" mod. Not a fan of the gun, but I'm also not really able to keep up 100% volcanic uptime without perpetuum mobile mod. Maybe it's just my playstyle, but I kind of like applying Ash with virtually every bullet over relying on skills and simply waiting for burn to expire, which never will on some enemies (bosses and elites namely) if I'm consistently applying burn thanks to 100% uptime on volcanic rounds. I'm a bit confused how often Ash status actually happens if it only procs once burn runs out, but every bullet you shoot applies burn, ensuring anything you shoot consistently will never receive ash? I assume a lot of ash application with this build is entirely dependent on abilities in that case? Not sure if I should give up the Ash mod every 1s weap mod and rely on skills, or give up the 100% volcanic uptime via perpetuum mobile.

i love this build but i have a question, or more something that needs clarification. you said "anomoly power is useless" but anomoly power also applies to "status effects". and the volcanic rounds use "skill damage" which is under anomoly power... doesnt that mean that a higher anomoly power would mean volcanic rounds do more damage?

Thanks for the vid! I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about what I'd consider a variant of this. I've been going for a similar build, but using ash blast with the range mod, speccing into Hot Situation (and other sources of damage after immobilize or on ash), and using overheat with the consume ash mod. In effect you could ash everything in a massive radius, have massively increased damage on these targets, and insta-kill them all with overheat. That's what I've been doing. Now on tier 8 and level 19, so I'd be interested to hear if this holds up in later levels and tiers.

Think id rather use ash blast rather than overheat. Ash blast really pulls in the clutch for CC

[@erthan6161]

I love the build but I keep waffling on whether or not to use ash blast or overheat. My only issue with overheat is I don't know if I am using it right. Should I be waiting to tag things with burn before popping it or just pop it for the damage boost and call it a day? If I went the ash blast route I could pick up 2 cd reduction nodes so that would be nice and the weapon leech would also be pretty decent but the low range compared to overheat is painfully noticable.
