Spears will eat you for breakfast with the mid roll, thats why I recommended the fast roll.
As long as you're not stupid about it, great combustion really, really works.
Fire surge is for cooking bs fishers and scaring people back without wasting stamina or a great combustion. Fire ball and fire orb are useless for pvp at 120, and cutting the points from att instead of having stacks gives you the endurance to fast roll at 56 poise.
Actually, if you intend to use pyromancy a lot, the crown of dusk or dark son are better bets than the big hat, if you're going to mid roll. I'd still recommend the fast roll though, the mid roll just doesn't cut it against spears unless you're turtling with one yourself.
