Obviously I’m missing a last skill leech bonus on my boots so still watching for that.
This is more a FUN focused yet viable build.
So to compare to my previous pyro it’s inferior I’m just going to tell you now:
Less debuffs.
Less health.
Less damage.
But hold on a moment. All of those are more the minor downsides but overall as you see this build is still close to the support the tank and the damage of the other pyro. So what’s the point of it though? To MAX thermal bomb and eruption for FUN LOL. Let’s be honest: every pyro wants to use eruption but never can find a truly good build for it. Lava lich is still ok yes but the fact it doesn’t give you cool down on all the pieces is rather annoying for thermal bomb and the whole point of it’s bonus to eruption and finally it makes you more squishy which you don’t want if you still want to be a tank as eruption casting much like faser beam makes you very vulnerable.
And we all know thermal bomb is just a HILARIOUS skill for fun. Finally I’m glad I could still include heatwave as a viable 3rd skill on this build. Yes it’s not maxed at all but the point of heatwave is it’s only useful as a trash ability or your main ability. But as a trash one it’s still useful for inflicting burns for further skill leech healing and burn bonus damage.
I like I can use all 3 too. I get to enjoy the pure awesomeness of eruption in its full glory with the right mods (duration and radius are just necessity not only for its AoE focused damage but enjoying seeing it more lol). I get to enjoy the hilarity of thermal bomb it’s full extent. And I get to enjoy heatwave, albeit far more nerfed compared to my other pyro, to still feel like a proper pyro.
THEN I am STILL being a very good tank a very good support from the maximum debuffing from thermal bomb and still doing very good overall damage. Not as good I know. I clear a minute slower on some expeditions compared to my other pyros and have 12k less health than my most recent middle tree one. However I also feel I ironically get better skill leech healing from eruption’s long duration and thermal bombs’ better damage. Besides I’m still invincible in every expedition and that’s all that matters!
So go have FUN!

I thought this build would heal less from skill leech but honestly I might call it tankier than one respect from my other pyro cuz I think the extra anomaly let’s thermal bomb and even my melee I’ve noticed heal me way more. Obviously eruption is instant invincibility for its duration but I guess despite have far less heatwaves for healing it still gets tons of skill leech healing off my other abilities and even the little heatwave I do lol.
And it’s still missing another skill leech buff
