Decent build for soloing most content. But be mindful that because pyro’s base damage is low, you’ll be going to do 1dmg x agni multiplier on certain high mdef monsters at r8 maps. Due to pyro’s mechanics and your lack of alternative damage spells, it is not a party favourable class, unless you want to tell every melee to stop doing dps and watch you do damage.

Thau1 isn’t that useful to be honest, like you said, Thau2 would be ideal

Seems like a better compromise between the two builds, however, no wiz3 means slightly lower dps for your dark spells. Also, a lack of Sage means you won’t be bringing fireballs to the field as quickly as someone that has Sage. But let’s be honest, you don’t want another pyro in your party, because without linking, fireballs will start attacking amongst itself and not the intended target when more than four fireballs are stacked together. With linking however, it’ll hit monsters, but your joint penalty hit count will take a real beating past five+ fireballs and you can’t sustain the linked state long enough anyway with lv15 fireballs.
An advice if I may. We don’t know what the future will really bring, imc seems rather clueless as well with their so called balancing. No one knows if agni will be nerfed or remain the same, and they might possibly review and tweak Joint penalty again given how broken a pyro linker is with agni now.(it was only with the ktos repository merge that Joint penalty became overpowered, back then iToS linking only spreads damage and not multiply to the number of targets caught in the link)
After all’s been said, no one knows honestly. If I were you, I would definitely not have my eggs in a basket and create a build solely around these two mechanics because there’s only one given free rank reset, period.
My two silvers.
