I have never understood why the Pyromancer is considered the weakest base level character at Soul Level 1. It is the strongest base level character, by far. You have high strength, adequate intelligence to use the dragon rings, an additional attunement slot, the highest poison resistance. etc.

I found the cleric to be the worst base level character. Although the bandit and warrior have no attunement slots, they are so strong and resilient, you don't need the attunement (and can use the ring found early in the game for that). The bandit is especially powerful as it can use the heavy crossbow one-handed which does a s**t ton of damage once upgraded (as much as casting great heavy soul arrow).
