Outriders New Horizons – Pyromancer Tank/Support Build (unfinished still read description)

The last two things missing on this build are two more status power variants on my armor to complete the ash maxed part of the build, which is more for the support side of the build.

This build was one of my tougher to figure out honestly. The update essentially nerfed firepower pyro builds by buffing the already insane dps of anomaly build pyros and still not buffing Torturer set still which was already mediocre for damage and awful for survivability.

But this build essentially works similar to my techno tank build now.

All of my tank builds now do similar dps clearing half the expeditions on gold ranks still while focusing exclusively on maxing health and the middle tree over any firepower or anomaly power.

And this one now I’m pleased to say is the same on that front too while having 60k health, insane weapon leech, decent skill leech, healing from all 3 skills, and incredible immobilization and crowd control. Moreover, it is also a good “support build” as you know I want all my tank builds to be in some sense by maxing the ash duration through status power as much as possible. In fact I would say this build when finished will immobilize the battlefield better than even my freeze techno since everything I burn also gets ashed later if I shoot something else.

So if you haven’t noticed yet what I’m still missing on this build is two more status power buffs to further increase ash duration and burn damage to heal off skill leeches.

Yet despite that, as you see, it’s clearly MOSTLY OP now. Not to mention it’s fun to use and very unique.

It basically fights exactly like a firepower build but as a tank instead that still does decent damage.

The damage you’ll see ironically comes almost purely through my sandstorm and death chains mod on my gun. But it gets buffed and stacked from several mods and skills: 40% more damage on burned targets, 20% from ash, 30% from Death Sentence mod that is active most of the time, and simply having my volcanic rounds active always which not only ensure I’m always burning but also never reloading so that’s more overall damage too in a sense.

And the tankiness is pretty self explanatory: infinite volcanic rounds means both my weapon and skill leech are activating most of the time, huge buff to weapon leech most of the time, empowerment mod ensuring my ash blast heals me every activation too, feed the flames being an instant heal, maxing my health, maxing my cool down on all skills precisely to help with that stacking and my dps stacking.

I think that’s about it now….I’ve made a tank/support focused build that still dishes out good damage on all four classes now. My techno build is still identical to my previous videos, as I saw nothing wrong with it post update still.
