Unfortunately, I didn't get any time with the sorcerer class; however, I watched someone who did, and it seemed like they didn't start with any pyromancy spells anyway. I can only guess how pyromancy will turn out based on stat and item descriptions from the beta (unless there is some other info out there). Beta stuff suggests that it will be sort of like a sub-class of sorcery and closely tied to INT, but we could very well get some surprises.
