Remember the above recommendations are primarily suited to be good for “most people”, specifically for “early to midgame” when gear drops can’t easily be tailor fit to your needs.
MORE DISCUSSION TO COME AS THE DAYS PASS!
Well that’s about it (FOR NOW) regarding Sienna’s Pyromancer Career path in Vermintide 2. Strong and consistent ranged damage + with various ways to actively manage overcharge + a great ultimate = I would say Pyromancer is one of the best careers right now, IMO.
