correct , all int scaling does is affect the r2 attack of the pyromancy flame itself , like with catlysts and talismans you can slap people with them , for instance theres a sorcery catalys that has some dex scaling on it , but thats purely for the r2 attack which is useless ..
the only reason a pryomancer would have high int at all is if they were after the sorceries that require high int to even learn , and even this .. it would be more a case of a high level sorcerer picking up pyromancy to expand their repertoire , a pyromancer themself has to go well out of the useful range of stat boosting to utilize all the other spells , and any other caster can easily pick up the entire library of pyromancy spells , making attunement even more of a useful stat :D
high int has also now been proven to be one of the few good scaling attack stats , however limited to enchanted +5 weapons and the Moonlight greatsword which entirely uses A scaling int , and is reportedly great damage easily ouscaling lifghtning weapons , my enchanted winged spear +5 is pretty amazing considering winged spears arent the most damging weapons anyway ..
but yes .. pyromancy is amazing in that you can even stay at soul level 1 and just upgrade your flame , and deal with a majority of the game easier than any other class with higher soul levels too
