Hey there.
I've been wondering if it is worth taking pyroclasm-enabled pyros under 30%, where you'ld usually be casting scorch x2 pyro.
It just feels like i'm doing a 3.8 cast time for a pyro that's hitting for 35k or 70k crit, when in the same time i can cast 3 scorches and at the very least 1 pyroblast, with each scorch doing 9k damage and the pyro either 11k or 22k crit.
What do you guys think?

Re: Pyroclasm under 30% with ST
The general wisdom is to keep the rotation the same, just to replace fireball with scorch below 30% and keep in mind the auto crits.
So yes, it is still good to just use the hard cast. Especially if you also have a heating up you can make a hot streak with a fire blast during the cast.

Re: Pyroclasm under 30% with ST
i was wondering about this myself a few days ago and looked at the last minute of a Taloc kill i had.
i wass scorching for 7.8k average
instant pyroblasts crit hit for 10k, and crit for 20k
pyroclasm hit for 35k and crit for 74K.
pyroblasts crit roughly 50% of the time.
7.8x3 = 23.4 k damage guaranteed.
with a hit or crit pyroblast (+10/20) = 33 to 43 k damage without pyroclasm in those 4 seconds you would spend casting.
i went over this real quick, so i didnt correct for IF stacks and other procs.
to me a 50% chance to deal double that damage with pyroclams seemed worth it.
might depend on crit, but even without crit it seems that the damage would be roughly the same?
i dunno, maybe i went over this to simple

Nope, that more or less covers it.
Stop and hardcast pyroblast when you get pyroclasm procs during the execution phase!
