That being said though, I guess you could pick up a Crossbow as a Pyromancer and just use fire arrows all day long when your spells are on cool down or use it in lieu of a staff. Nevermind, the tool tips lie.
Did you do elemental fire arrows using a crossbow with a fire rune in it?
It's not going to hit remotely close to what you need to be competitive with say typical rangers. Though if you were referring to why I struck out my previous statement it was because the tool tip for Fire Arrows (not elemental arrows, I mean the actual consumable) stated it was going to do 380ish - 450ish damage and instead yielded... 187 to 187*2 on a target with 0 resists. Hence, the tool tips lie.
You're ultimately better off with just using warfare skills with a staff or using warfare points with a two hander as your alternate.
