Pyromantic Pact is bad and forced on minion witches

So Pyromantic Pact essenetially replaces/simplifies your mana regen and nullifies the use of your mana flask... in exchange for causing you to explode.

Why do I want this?


Mana regen is easy to get, and as a witch, I'm generally specced heavily into intellect.... plus I have a mana potion I generally don't need, but have available.

The nodes in the ascension class I actually want, force me to go through this node to get it. I'm not a fan.

pyro pact is pretty cool and can give you functionally infinite mana as long as you have capped fire resist, but almost everyone who plays minion witch is going beidat's will and beidat's hand for the massive boost to spirit and energy shield and the defensive layer added by altered flesh. Once you get your 4th ascendancy and get beidat's hand, combined with grim feast, can easily hit like 10k ES with mid gear, it's pretty nice. Pyro pact is more for caster witches and combining with demon form.
