Rift: New Pyrochloro Setup

New patch today modified pyromancer in Rift.

This is a solo build that relies on self-healing for survivability.  It can group well, but you may want to swap 1 Circle of Life for Synthesis if you will spend more time grouping than soloing.

Untested as a PvP build, but I doubt it’s very good at that.

Build:

• 61 Pyromancer (whole tree)
• 0 Arbiter (for Aqueous Blessing, 3% less incoming damage)
• 15 Chloromancer
• 5 Accelerated Growth
• 1 Bloom
• 2 Healing Slipstream
• 2 Empowered Veil
• 3 Phytogenesis
• 2 Circle of Life

Use Channel for bigger mobs.  It does a lot of damage (I’ve run 15k+ dps on elites in Steppes of Infinity with it).

Use Fireball when Heat Wave is up (button will show it).  Lots of damage, fun to watch!

Heal for when you need it or someone in your group needs it (mouse-over their portrait in your group/raid list).  Can be modified to use @focus or @mark tank, or whatever other targeting you like.

Prep first followed by hitting Spam as frequently as possible is just “hit ‘em with everythin’ you gots!”  It takes a bit of button smashing before you start doing real damage (because it leads with self-buffs, etc.), but then it does very well.  I’m usually around 7k dps on elites in Steppes with this combo.  Not as good as the Channel and Fireball macros, but it’s great for when those aren’t recycled yet!  This one will always fire off something (unless you’re disabled, and even then it tries to break it for you).

Note: I’ll post the rest of my builds here later.  Posted this one by request.
