Be wary of their many AoE options such as Combust If you're a Stoneshaper, you can instead use their fires against them by firing a Shockwave through it, leaving a Fire Trail .
While you should generally avoid fighting Pyromancers up close, their Fireball & Toxic Cloud explosions can inflict self-damage.

Unlike other classes, Frostborn's mobility in heated combat is very limited. Keep up the pressure once you close the distance. Remember that Flash Freeze doesn't block projectiles from above or below. Sneak a shot in by Levitating overhead.
