General Strategy
Cast Sear followed by Flame Orb and/or Withering Blast. Use Burning Ward when you take enough damage. Remember, your skills have long cooldowns.
Expect high damage. Great for finishing off bosses quickly.
Farming
Use Withering Blast and Burning Ward. You may spam Sear. Cast Flame Orb on opponents with high life or avoid doing so to conserve mana.
Duel
Open with Burning Ward. Effective against those who load first and throws in nukes. Immediately cast Flame Orb (last skill). May kill them instantly.
Spam Sear and Withering Blast. The latter can be used to target opponents without clicking.
Keep your distance from opponents with powerful melee attacks until Burning Ward is available. Ram at opponents (press 1 for auto-attack) while the buff is active to make them burn themselves.
How to Beat
Be wary of a Pyromancer with less than a hundred mana; it may be a sign that they activated Burning Ward. (Or watch out for the Burning Ward animation.) If you have a stun, use it then back away. Wait for the ward to fade then strike on the opposing Pyromancer.
While Ward is on, stay on the defensive. Do not go near them until it's gone.
Pyromancer can be beaten by classes that can resist damage such as Elemental Dracomancer. The trick is to outlast them as Pyros easily run out of mana.
