Utility Tips

What is a pyromane used for? pyromane battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Pyromane abilities and benefits
It passively cooks meat, along with that transforming it into jerky over time without oil (unsure if spark power needed)
In both forms it provides insulation but the lion form provides much greater insulation
It can provide fuel to refining forges and campfires
It has a immense damage over time ability in the form of its fire effect, this can go up in stages to 10
Think of its DOT being similar to the thylacoleo’s DOT (unsure of which is more)
Its battle abilities includes, a m1 bite applying the status
effect and dealing a base of 20 damage I believe, however the attack is a brutal one due to its speed of attack
Right click/Left bumper for console (I believe) uses the flame leap ability this can be used every 5 seconds
Holding right click/left bumper uses the flame trail ability this consumes some of its absorbed flames
Ctrl right click/ r3 + left bumper (I think) uses the flame absorb ability, it absorbs nearby flames and stores them for battle use
Ctrl + left click/r3 Right bumper uses the flame boost effect, this consumes absorbed flames to deal an additional 50% damage, lasts until cancelled or depleted of absorbed flames
Swap to shoulder pet, Ctrl + C (unknown of console keybind)
Self explanatory, it transforms it to the shoulder pet form
This has been utility of the pyromane, I apologize if I got some of the console keybinds wrong
They can light anything but not like things that cannot produce light it's actually useful ngl you don't need to waste resources or even craft a sparkpowder and plus it is a shoulder pet this thing can wreak havoc on pvp servers so I'd recommend to tame it because of the utility is wild!-Average Ark player
