Need suggestions for a Gravelord Pyro build

Looking for suggestions on armor sets and pyro spells since I don't have very much experience with them...

Here's what I have so far

Also, is the greatbow even effective for pvp or should i swap for the black bow?

the greatbow is only really effective in the forest, but its weight usually isn't worth it.

Depending on what you're wearing, I'd recommend the wolf ring instead of the red tearstone. It make sure you don't get stunlocked by anything that touched you haha!

Other than that, it seems good.

yeah i didn't realize how effing heavy the greatbow is!!! not worth it...

I'd say go composite if your at midrange, black bow if your at any longer distance.

As for Armor, if you're looking for poise use the wolf ring and look for 1-2 pieces of gear with a decent amount of poise, then use the other two balance out your defenses.

I really like the Balder Chest with Hollow Thief's hood for a Gravelord. It's not just a good armor, it looks like some corrupted knight. Also, the GLS really isn't useful at that level except for applying Toxic. It has good r2's, but its damage is crap compared to any other weapon that people will be using at 120. (for my SL20 GL build it works great though) I say get three more levels in Str and use a Mura. It's a common weapon, but the +15 scales A with dex. and you can buff with resin for some extra AR.

If you're going dedicated pyromancer, get a Bellowing Dragoncrest ring, the crown of Dusk, and Power within. I think if you put all the damage-enhancing stuff together, you can get a 95% bonus to pyro damage, which is absolutely insane. i think a Fire Tempest can OHK most players with that damage output.

Hmmmm...maybe i'll tweak my Chaos Blade build. It's not quite at 120 yet.

I think I've got it...

It's much easier for me to tweak a build than to start from scratch...busy and all.

Now I just need an un-upgraded flame for PW.
