You can start either one. The Pyromancer is better at melee combat, while the Sorcerer has the lowest HP and defense of all the starting classes along with the weakest starting weapon. On the other hand, it's a bigger risk for the Pyromancer than for the Sorcerer, due to the latter's ability to just sit back and shoot magic at enemies, if he can keep out of melee range.

Sipmly put, it depends on what you think is the safest between lots of magic or good melee damage.

You want to focus Intelligence and Attunement to use Sorceries. Other than that, Endurance and Vitality is always good to level up.
