Pyromancer’s Parting Flame
The parting flame is a new side-grade to the default pyro flame that can be used to quickly and easily create a fire.
The passive effect of this build is that it leaves a damaging trail when casting pyromancies. This makes it an effective choice for PvP as it can easily damage enemies in close range.
This damage can make up for the lower spellbuff and also makes certain spells much harder to dodge!

Pyromancers have a great weapon thanks to its extremely high B/B int/faith scaling.

Onyx Blade
The onyx blade is quickly becoming my favorite weapon in DS3. It is light and easy to hold, making it perfect for slashing through enemies. Plus, the sharpness and durability of the blade make it a great choice for fighting in close quarters.
The Moonlight Greatsword is the longest greatsword in the game, boasting a C/C scaling in int/faith (and D/D in strength/dex). It, in my opinion, looks even cooler than the Dragon Greatsword! ..

Chaos Bed Vestiges
Pyromancy is a type of magic that allows you to use fire to damage your enemies. This can be done in a number of ways, but the most common is by using pyromancy spells to cast burning flames at your target.
Vestiges fires an easy-to-aim fireball that travels a decent distance and deals a bit of AoE damage to enemies it passes. ..
The giant boomerang-like weapon is great for PvP because it can easily catch foes by roll-catching them. It’s also very large, so it has to be dodged if you want to avoid it.
Vestiges is a great tool against tough enemies you come across in the world, but its single-target nature leaves it lacking against clumps of foes.

Fire Clutch Ring
The fire clutch is a ring that can be used to control the fire in a battle. It is made of metal and has a small fire gem in the center. This ring can be used to light fires, set them on fire, or even use them as a weapon.
The item increases all fire damage by 15% in exchange for -10% physical absorptions.
Pyromancers are more likely to be in close quarters with their enemies, which means they’re more likely to take damage from the enemy’s physical defenses. ..
The fire clutch is a great choice for mix-maxing because it limits the amount of damage you can deal to enemies with your fire spells.
